Trivia[]
Although working exactly like the Shovel Knight, in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove the game does refer to them as Gold Shovel Knight meaning it's technically scanned as it's own amiibo in that game.
The developers of Shovel Knight confirmed that one of the main reasons it was released was for those players who missed out on the original amiibo.
There were two different versions shown of this amiibo before it was released. One was a fully chrome brass and later on the other was a placeholder with the armor being a blunt yellow and anything beneath being a blunt brown (similar to the King Knight amiibo and the ornate plate armor from the game).
This is the first store exclusive amiibo to be added onto switch box art.
