==Animations==
When first entering the arena, Shovel Knight is seen sleeping with his head on a log before suddenly jumping up and pulling his shovel out from behind his back. In his victory animation, Shovel Knight jumps with his fist in the air and in his lose animation he simply sits up and starts clapping for his enemy. If nothing is done for long enough, Shovel Knight sits on the ground and waits for his enemy's next attack.
