A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.

The music of this game! Best retro looking game! No doubt!

This sounds just like an NES Castlevania game. Shocked it wasn't.

I loved this game and all the characters in it were probably my favourite part. Feels for the whole crew (especially Spectre Knight... 😭). I am not good at platformers and I do not play them much at all, but Shovel Knight I made the exception too. If I could, I would have purchased this game for $60, but it was $40 on Switch for the Treasure Trove edition. I can’t believe how long I waited to play this absolute gem (pun intended). I really hope they continue into this universe in the future, but from what I heard, King Knight will be their last adventure in it. It’s still great, but I fell in love with everybody in here. I would not mind another adventure in the future after they take a break!

Canada's savior himself. Legends say he always carried around road salts.

This was probably the song that was most forgettable to me, but I think it's starting to grow on me, as it seems to be the most unique and interesting out of all the others. Every time I hear it, it never sounds the same, I don't know how, but that's just how it is.

Hmph, pass the salt.

Here's hoping Polar Knight becomes playable and gets his own story in a later DLC! After all, he's a shovel-using knight too...

I just know it'll show one day, but I cannot wait to see Propeller Knight on here as he easily is my favorite track in the game. That said, this whole soundtrack is amazing and still Jake Kaufman's masterpiece amidst all his fantastic work.

Arc13 Amen. The Propeller Knight stage and the Spectre Knight boss music are my favorite tracks from the game

I feel like Polar Knight has a lot of backstory not touched on.

Between the dialogue and the helmet similar to Shovel Knights, I'd like to see him fleshed out in his own DLC.

Pragmatik on December 13th 2017, 12:26 am
Bongzillaz agreed. They really pushed the point that he was well acquainted with both shovel and black knight.

The shovel.... I can't believe I did not make that connection.

I imagine Shovel Knight, Black Knight, and Polar Knight were all in like an Order of Spades before

Polar knight is the true shovel knight because "Shovel Knight," the protag, actually uses a spade and would be better called Spade Knight A shovel shoves, a spade digs

At this point, with the original game and its expansions (still one more!), I would call this one of my favorite 2D platformers of all time. I like it more than any Mega Man games and that's saying a lot. The soundtrack by Jake Kaufman (and a couple by Manami Matsumae) is simply amazing.

Shovel Knight is available on the Switch too if you’d like to add that to the platform list.
