I remember that when I played Plague of Shadows the first time and get to the Explodatorium, I got in rage with my assistants when they told me that there was an intruder on the Explodatorium, so I went as fast as I can to the end of the stage (getting everything of course) and when I encountered Shovel Knight, I was like "Of course he's the intruder, who else could it be?" ha ha
+Calvin Carlson Well, I wouldn't call this an RPG. It's more like the upgrades and capsules from Megaman X (assuming you're talking about the armors, health, mana and weapons).
I love that this entire game teaches you how to play while you're playing it without shoving tutorials up your ass. My older brother who doesn't care for retro games was forced to play the first level of Shovel Knight and he beat it! He even discovered shit I didn't even know! Like the second half of the Village, I didn't even know that was there!
Many older games do this, level 1-1 of the original Mario Bros is a great example. Doing this is way harder than slapping a Textbox on the screen, but it is way better!
@@NeedMoreMushrooms a modern example would be hollow knight, theres a tutorial level but it teaches very barebone mechanics in a way that doesnt pause the gameplay, after that everything u learn yourself
I feel like Plague Knight is better for Smash from an undeveloped point. He already has possibilities for recoveries, side specs, and the like, but more importantly, he's just so dang cute.
This is one of if not my favorite level track in the whole game. This also the hardest level for me in the whole game. I cant describe it. It might be nostaliga, but i just--love this track. Its perfect to me.
There's 208 likes. I can only assume that's the number of different people that have listened to this, and the 30,000+ view count is just those same 200 people coming back to this over and over again.
Dont you hate it when you run a Auditorium named "The Explode-atorium" and the moment you walk out the whole place gotten Haywire.. Your Girlfriend dosent talk to you anymore (until the end) and you have to encounter a Ridiculous man with a Shovel?
I just started playing yesterday. This has to be my favorite song on the soundtrack. I kept dying in the Exploditorium, but I didn't care, because I loved hearing this over and over again. ^^
Antimony sounds like some rad super power or fantasy concept, seeing/hearing this without playing the game or knowing much of chemistry. Antimony is a metal, guys. It's literally on the periodic table, it has an atomic number of 51.
I know it's been seven years, but the relation to the game from the title is that antimony can be incredibly explosive when mixed with the right materials and Plague Knight uses chemistry mostly to make bombs, but the "flowers" part helps inform the musical style and also kind of Plague Knight as a person.
Flasks, beakers, retorts, crucibles, and alembics; what an intriguing hideout! (Shovel of Hope) Doctor Knight like this one. Oolong sorry he forget. (Plague of Shadows) Bard: Full disclosure: I transcribed this opus from another bard in a faraway land. Brilliant!
BasicBlisseys Yeah! That's it! When I was little, I barely ever got further then that (Because I sucked at video games) so it got imprinted into my mind.
being a chemist Plague Knight made his level theme FIRE Plague of Shadows was great although I didn't expect the SPOILER ALERT whole making a potion for mona to like him. i knew that one must have liked the other but i did not see that coming
NueThunderKing she made the entire soundtrack and sound effect of megaman 1 on NES! she didn't compose a lot of soundtrack, but she did great thing! She composed U.n Squadron too, and nitro man from megaman 10! She'll be doing the soundtrack of mighty No. 9 and heart forth alicia
***** 'Flowers of Antimony' - The Explodatorium 'A Thousand Leagues Below' - Iron Whale 'Flying Machine' - A rearrangement of 'High Above The Land' (composed by Jake Kaufman), which plays on Propellor Knight's stage. Only in the album 'Strike The Earth! - Shovel Knight Arranged' There you go :3
There's a bit of distinction between the music written by Jake and the ones written by Manami. Jake tends to add a bit of flare, while Manami makes them sound a little more authentic.
for some reason this theme stood out from the other themes and scrooge knight was the only one that really gave me a lot of trouble. I died like six to seven times facing him.
rixor12 though plague knight would be an awesome assist trophy and is not as porular as shovel knight i think he's be way more enjoyable to play and have a far better move pool with all the variety in his normal gameplay
Plague Knight as an assist trophy would make more sense. I just don't see him as a fun character to actually play as for Smash bros, he's too projectile based. Shovel Knight on the other hand, would probably be perfect for a new character. They already have perfect theme music to put in for his potential stages
hardest f$*king stage in the game on new game plus trust me double the damage cheap enemy placement hard to avoid traps and if u don't got the phase locket then u can't win
no that's not what i meant. I'm not saying it's because it's a better game or character. I'm saying it's because they wouldn't put an indie game character in their blockbuster hit.
***** i'm not gonna have an argument with some dude over the net about who's better, quote or shovel knight, but quote would regardless be more likely of a character simply because Nintendo owns Cave Story now. If Nintendo bought Shovel Knight, then yea, Knight would be more likely, especially because he's more recent.
Personally I'd use a DAW with chip synth plugins. And by that, I mean that's what I actually do, I'm just not very good at it. Yet. :P The thing about working in a DAW is that you can use compressors and other plugins that can richen up a sound but not alter it heavily. I *think* that's what's going on here, as the 8-bit music in Shovel Knight already isn't console accurate to any console I know due to going well over the max polyphony. So it wouldn't really be pushing it much further to make stuff a bit more crispy with FX plugins.
+GravianS o this soundtrack was actually written in famitracker. the reason it's allowed to have more polyphony is because it uses the vrc6 expansion chip, which was a thing in some japanese nes games that added some extra sound channels
So... People love this track... But hate Dynatron's theme from Mighty No.9 even though both these tracks composed by same woman (Manami Matsumane) and have the same style?
Well, I can fairly say that I like BOTH of these tracks. Oh look, we have different opinions! So don't justify it. Don't create reasons to back up your opinion. OPINION JUSTIFIES ITSELF!
Angel Deadman First of all, that's not a nice thing to say to people. Second of all, there is no need to be putting up approximately 45 middle fingers at me ( or anyone else for that matter ). Third of all, that's not how you spell Sakurai. Fourth of all, why the hate? I'm just telling you that the DLC is all finished and even if there were more characters, it wouldn't be free. Fifth of all, in case you didn't know, all of the DLC characters are Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy, Ryu, Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta. That's it! Sixth of all, that's all I have to say. Seventh of all, I am purposely making this reply longer. Eighth of all, I'm done making this reply longer now. Nineth of all, goodbye. :)

But his moves is almost entirely projectile based
so, but so are most of Robin's (Awakenings Avavtar
Those colorful flasks in the background REALLY do justice with this song.
The song of a villain surrounded by incompetent and lazy henchmen.

Shovel Knight for Smash Bros so we can have Shovel Knight vs Mega Man
+MegaLegoKing1 no
+RosenBosen i still believe

I wish dude. Instead we got.... that

I can't unhear it: "Lon-don Brid-ges Fall-ing Down, Fall-ing Down, Fall-ing Down"...
WHY?????? You have only spread this foul curse around this poor land by uttering these vile words!
Now I'm thinking of plague knight throwing a shit ton of bombs at a bridge
oh
NОШ I САN'Т ЦNНЕАЯ IT!

Lich yard is hard for the third level.

You may hear a creepy and well composed song, all I hear is stress. Lots and lots of STRESS.

Out of curiosity, will you also upload the songs exclusive to Plague of Shadows?
Thank you, Gaijing Goomba, for using this song in your shovel knight video. I now have a thing for 8- bit, and it's amazing!!!
The moment when you play as plague knight and say:
"WHY ARE MY MINIONS ATTACKING ME ?"
so....much.....AWESOME!
0:37
it reminds me that tiny toons game from sega , the last level i think
manami matsumae kicks ass!
Is she the one that makes some of the tracks for Megaman? If so the influence and style is all there.
NueThunderKing
she made the entire soundtrack and sound effect of megaman 1 on NES! she didn't compose a lot of soundtrack, but she did great thing! She composed U.n Squadron too, and nitro man from megaman 10! She'll be doing the soundtrack of mighty No. 9 and heart forth alicia
NueThunderKing yes she is.
only two songs were made with manami. the rest were by jake.
***** 'Flowers of Antimony' - The Explodatorium
'A Thousand Leagues Below' - Iron Whale
'Flying Machine' - A rearrangement of 'High Above The Land' (composed by Jake Kaufman), which plays on Propellor Knight's stage. Only in the album 'Strike The Earth! - Shovel Knight Arranged'
There you go :3
This track is the most Danny Elfman thing, I swear.
There's a bit of distinction between the music written by Jake and the ones written by Manami. Jake tends to add a bit of flare, while Manami makes them sound a little more authentic.

Well written descriptive text for this video.
Badass track
for some reason this theme stood out from the other themes and scrooge knight was the only one that really gave me a lot of trouble. I died like six to seven times facing him.
does anyone think shovel knight AND plague knight should début in a new smash bros dlc?
plague knight as assist trophy

Have all the playable boss knights as different costumes?
+Kole The Otaku Or better yet, each boss knight is a different costume.
I would put this on all the time in the village of plague of shadows...
- Hi Hi Hi -
I love Plague Knight.
Crazy and adorable.
Totally agree :D
Loks like a Burst Man stage.
Im glad im not the only one that caught that
I agree
Well, they are both chemical labs.
This is so fucking good FUCK ! ! ! I can't stop screaming swears of joy ! !
best song of the game
This sounds like its from pokemon mystery dungeon. Not that its a bad thing.
I didnt much like this guy in the game...until I got to play through his story. I cant help but root for the little guy now.
i like to think that plague knight is a goblin! xD
2x Speed is basically a dulled down Aqua Vitae...
BOOM! Hee hee hee!
Don't know why but i always thinking that mona and plague knight are having a party when i hear this
This song would be perfect for Dynamo Man's Stage in MMAB
can't be the only one thinking this but...
isnt plague knight so adorable?
when you put at 1.25 it sounds amazing
Reminds me a little of Lego Racers, but in all of the best ways.
King of Cards Stage
Ratsploder Runway
turn to 1.25 speed to unlock plague knight as a playable character.
Play it at 2x speed and it sounds like that one song
The best boy
Is it me or is Plague Knight making Popcorn during the song ?
- Hee hee hee! -
Shovel Knight, Black Knight, Shield Knight, and Mr Hat disliked.
hardest f$*king stage in the game on new game plus trust me double the damage cheap enemy placement hard to avoid traps and if u don't got the phase locket then u can't win
This sounds like mega man more than any other song in the game.
Is it just me, or this theme kinda sound like the Pong minigame theme from Leisure Suit Larry 8?
if Quote from cave story which Nintendo bought ain't in ssb shovel knight has no chance being in smash
Yeah right.
Shovel Knight has a more varied arsenal than Quote.
no that's not what i meant. I'm not saying it's because it's a better game or character. I'm saying it's because they wouldn't put an indie game character in their blockbuster hit.

FOR SCIENCE!
This is mega man 3 level, but bolder
we are number one but the whole song is 8-bit
So...
People love this track...
But hate Dynatron's theme from Mighty No.9 even though both these tracks composed by same woman (Manami Matsumane) and have the same style?
I think it's more of the association. Mighty No 9 isn't regarded nearly as well as Shovel Knight.
She composed music for that game? What a waste. And also the fact that the music is hardly audible is salt in the wound.
Kole The Otaku Excuse me? Take these words back I ORDER YOU. Mighty No.9 is a great game!
Well, I can fairly say that I like BOTH of these tracks.
Oh look, we have different opinions!
So don't justify it. Don't create reasons to back up your opinion. OPINION JUSTIFIES ITSELF!
