The '''''Shovel Knight'' universe''' ({{ja|ショべルナイト|Shoberu Naito}}, ''Shovel Knight'') refers to the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series' collection of characters and properties that hail from the franchise spawned by the indie game created by Yacht Club Games. | The '''''Shovel Knight'' universe''' ({{ja|ショべルナイト|Shoberu Naito}}, ''Shovel Knight'') refers to the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series' collection of characters, stages, and properties that hail from the franchise spawned by the indie game created by Yacht Club Games. Serving as an homage to classic NES platformers, the original game, retroactively dubbed ''Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope'', stars the titular [[Shovel Knight]] in his adventures to the Tower of Fate to save Shield Knight from a cursed amulet, and defeat the Order of No Quarter in the process. The game was expanded to include other playable characters and even has its own [[amiibo]] collection of the four different playable characters. A wide variety of crossover appearances and two spinoffs in collaboration with other developers, ''Shovel Knight Dig'' and ''Shovel Knight Pocket Dunegon'', have since followed in the original game's success. | ||
