These codes, being imput based instead of the traditional literaly ones, make possible to unlock from the get-go all of the content and features of Showdown by bypassing their default unlocking criteria, with the first code being a temporary one, only active until a hard reset of the game, while the other is a permanent one, which can only be cancelled by doing a complete reset of the data of Showdown. Due to having been released to a later date, these eight codes are not present in the official cheat code database presented above.Īdditionally, two special codes can be entered in the title screen of Shovel Knight Showdown. These 7 codes, originally engraved on character-themed launcher tokens that were given with Arby's Kids Meals, will change various game elements to fast-food related counterparts, and there even is a secret 8th code capable to simultaneously unlock all the effects of the other seven at the same time.

This includes unique features across the four main campaigns, which can be activated using external cheat codes. In May of 2021, Yacht Club Games met with the chain of sandwich fast-food restaurants Arby's to create new content for Shovel Knight (for a limited amount of time). The only way to remove the Cheat Code from a file is to delete the file itself. As of Version 4.00, not only starting Co-op Mode in Shovel of Hope no longer prevents Feats, but similarly any cheat code that does not directly alter the gameplay, being instead only cosmetic in nature, does allows the earning of Feats.

Only one code can be activated per file and doing so will prevent it from earning Feats for that file. Once activated, a cheat code will remain active permanently for that given profile, indicated by a teal pumpkin symbol that appears in the lower left corner of the character's profile icon. This will also allow a second naming for the profile after the code is entered. Cheats are only activated after entering the correct sequence of letters as the name of a profile.

There are currently over 390 or so cheat codes available, some of which are exclusive to specific campaigns. For a full official list of every cheat code that was intended to exist by Yacht Club Games, please refer to the Cheat Database.Ĭheat Codes are special codes that, once typed in the profile naming screen of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, can alter the game in various and often bizzare ways, some in minor, such as simply changing a color palette, while others in major ways, such as altering animations, sprites or even dialogue.
