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. | ||

*In the Assist Trophy category in [[Training Mode]], Shovel Knight is listed as the last Assist Trophy in order, being placed with the 3rd-party Assist Trophies. However, in the Spirit Collection, all ''Shovel Knight'' spirits are grouped with the 1st-party series rather than the 3rd-party series, being placed between the {{uv|Dillon's Rolling Western}} and ''Culdcept'' spirits. This is likely due to [[Nintendo]] publishing the initial Japanese releases for the game.<ref>https:// | *In the Assist Trophy category in [[Training Mode]], Shovel Knight is listed as the last Assist Trophy in order, being placed with the 3rd-party Assist Trophies.
