What’s up, dirt dorks? Shovel Knight was released in 2014, it has become a big success! And with success and popularity come imitators. And boy oh boy, Shovel Knight has spawned a lot of copycats!

Now, don’t get us wrong- we are usually really flattered when other games take inspiration from Shovel Knight. But as time has gone by, it’s gotten a bit out of hand. Some people may not even know the extent of it! That’s why we took a break from working on new projects and games so we could compile this list, to better inform you, our loyal fans.

So, without further ado, let’s jump into the top things that other games have been borrowing from Shovel Knight!

Shovel Drop – “Down Thrust” Moves

In Shovel Knight, we invented the concept of the “Shovel Drop”- a move where Shovel Knight jumps and then plummets onto objects or enemies! It’s his signature move! But we noticed that it started cropping up in other places too.

In Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link (released AFTER Shovel Knight on the NES Classic in November 2016), Link can learn how to do a Shovel Drop, but they changed the name to the Down Thrust. And guess what? You use it to break blocks, fight enemies, and bounce on things. But in Zelda II, you have to hold Down on the D pad the whole time you want to do the move! That’s pretty inconvenient!

And look at Duck Tales, a game based on a geriatric duck released on Amazon Fire TV in 2015. Why can he do the Shovel Drop? Does he even do that in his TV show? This is a pretty obvious example of when a popular gameplay type is simply grafted onto a licensed product, like how they used Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor as a template for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We’re onto you, Nintendo!

Shovel Knight Shimejis Map

Even Mario (from the very famous Super Mario Maker, released after Shovel Knight in 2015) is getting in on the act! He does a Shovel Drop, but he doesn’t even have a weapon or a cane! He just uses his feet. At least this implementation feels a little different. Nintendo also gave Mario a kind of “reverse Shovel Drop” where he can use his head to break blocks. We gotta hand it to ’em, that’s pretty clever stuff.

8 Bosses, then the Main Boss

When we were developing Shovel Knight, we decided that it would be perfect to have 8 bosses to fight against. It seemed thematically appropriate since the Enchantress was like a spider, and each of her legs was like one of the knights of her evil Order!

8 Eyes- Loves '8 Bosses' so much, it's in the name!

That’s why we were a little surprised to see the hit game 8 Eyes implement an identical boss setup! Unlike Shovel Knight, you can choose the stages in any order- unfortunately, this design decision makes it pretty much impossible to balance the levels. Maybe they should have focused on fewer bosses instead of arbitrarily copying us!

Next, these guys showed up- Mega Man 2’s “Robot Masters”, a name not nearly as creative or alliterative as The Order of No Quarter. Once again, it’s the same setup. It even rips off 8 Eyes a little bit! Once again, you can choose the stages in any order, and you fight a boss of that stage at the end. You may as well just call this game “8 Eyes 2”!

Callista is well, infamous for getting her own Tune on, in the most hardcore of ways, but then leaves poor old Newt hanging in their his and hers selfies. James charles facetune before after.

Mario, perpetual game copycat, has a similar setup for Super Mario Bros. 3. But it seems like they couldn’t quite make it, instead settling on 7 Koopa Kids even though there are 8 worlds! I wonder who the 8th Koopa Kid that was, forever relegated to the cutting room floor. Perhaps we’ll never know.

Campfires

Some of Shovel Knight’s most iconic moments are when he rests near a campfire in between stages. It acts like a palette cleanser, a little vignette of safety in between your big missions. The player can take a moment to rest and reflect on the experience they had. I guess some other developers took note, and decided to rest and reflect on what to borrow from our game!

We’re lookin’ you, Dark Souls! They like our campfire idea so much, they made it into their game’s version of a checkpoint. The main character even sits down, exactly like how Shovel Knight sits down near the campfire. And guess what? Like Shovel Knight’s checkpoints, if you die, then you return here, but have to collect the gold you lost, which they call “souls”. It’s thematically different- but we can see right through that!

“The Blue Something”

Being so enormously popular, Shovel Knight has earned a variety of nicknames. Just like how Batman is called the Dark Night, Shovel Knight became the “Blue Burrower”. Because he’s blue and he digs, right? It just makes sense.

Capcom must have thought it was a cool name, because they started calling Mega Man “The Blue Bomber”!! Beside having one less syllable, this name is really confusing because Mega Man doesn’t shoot bombs, he shoots energy balls from his Mega Buster! He’s not even a bomber. It’s like calling Bomberman the Blue Bomber- you only got half of it right!

At least Sonic’s rip-off moniker “The Blue Blur” is descriptive.

Themed Levels

Shovel Knight’s design called for a big group of levels to run through. But if all these levels were the same, they would be boring! And if they were all too different, they would be incohesive and messy. So we invented the idea of having themed levels- the boss’ lair would be a level that matched his appearance, attacks, and demeanor! Cool idea, right?

We don’t think it takes away from our originality, but look at the level below, once again from Mega Man 2. Almost looks like it could be the same game, huh? And at the end you fight “Metal Man”. Not a bad stab at a theme, but really, wouldn’t Gear Man make more sense?

Shovel Knight Shimejis Characters

Not content to let Capcom have all the fun, Konami used a little Shovel Knight magic for their Castlevania 3 Clock Tower stage, above right. Pretty blatant. Even the stage names are almost identical!

And these are just one example! When you look at the huge amount of Lost City-style lava levels, you can really see how influential Shovel Knight has been. But almost none of these levels have the gimmick that started it all- goo that turns the lava bouncy! I guess those are the little details that others don’t notice sometimes.

Digging

There used to be a time when digging was considered boring. That all changed with Shovel Knight. Since then, imitators appeared, that use digging as a main mechanic. Terraria, Steam World Dig, and even Dig Dug got in on the act! But one stands above the others. Minecraft has gone on to sell millions of copies, but don’t forget who invented digging as a character: Shovel Knight. Where’s our royalties, Mojang?

Sine Wave Enemies

The sine wave is one of math’s most interesting waves- up, then down, then back up again! It seemed like the perfect pattern for an enemy, skirting the line between predictable and surprising. To rationalize it, we made our enemy a flying knife, with thrusters that would turn on and off at intervals, creating the sine wave motion. Imagine our surprise when we saw our enemy in other games!

First off, look at these screen shots of BloodRayne: Betrayal and Double Dragon Neon. Our exact design is in those games! A knife with thrusters! There’s no way that could be a coincidence. But there’s even more.

This enemy design became really popular! Game like Castlevania implement
