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.
