    So, in this campaign, you start above ground and eventually drop into the main mine, y’know, like a normal person; however, in SoH, the rope is still there, but Shovel knight doesn’t use it, he jumps in from the side like every other stage. I like to think that this implies that he dug his own way down.

    When Yacht Club described how Mole Knight's campaign would be(When you could vote for who you wanted to have a campaign), they said it would be about trying to prove himself to a greater digger.

  • @davidserback4699
    @davidserback4699 Před 6 lety +17

    Ok so I thought this was pretty interesting. Specter of Torment is a prequel, obviously. So when Shovel Knight gets to the Lost City, it stands to reason that Mole Knight has been digging longer and has gotten further underground than when Spectie is there. In my opinion, the music even reflects this. This version is a higher pitch, just as the level is of a higher altitude. That is all.

  • @scart2647

    is it possible that before he became a knight, Mole was a Miner? He decided to take up something he knew very well and put it to good use which is why he works fast in his fight. he knows where to be and where to start a fire. something a miner would be good at

      I think he's actually a mole. Ought to be hard to move those claws so well with just regular fingers alone. Besides, anthropomorphic creatures are nothing foreign to the Shovel Knight universe, so its entirely possible.

    • @nbHawkeye
      @nbHawkeye Před 7 lety +6

      the weavz My guess is that Mole Knight is a member of a race of antropomorphic moles and an actual knight who has knighted due to his promise as a treasure hunter.
      The mole people had a huge system of cities until one day the mole empire crumbled.
      Mole Knight was travelling through the vast ruins of his old home until Specter Knight encountered him.

  • @SonicDestroyer12
    @SonicDestroyer12 Před 7 lety +33

    I always liked this theme a lot, whether the original version or this one.
    Facing the Task is appropriate for a more prologue-esque take on Mole Knight's stage, starting out with an octave-shifted version of the main melody and slight deviation from the primary key. The start of the piece is fitting for the stage's initial setting, but as Mole Knight and his forces dig further down the music grows more intense.
    An Underlying Problem starts out an octave lower in the melody (with respect to this version), and by that point Mole Knight has dug deeper and deeper; more lava-filled segments and fiery obstacles fit the more intense feel of the song.

    really want a mole knight campaign. just imagine the possibilities, like, mabye the lost city is expanded with each knight's weaponry? king knight, mabye his could be for smaller stuff, treasure knight, his could be a heavy digging implement. mabye its a quest for the ultimate digging tool, showing how little mole knight cares about the order, since he DOESNT EVEN LEAVE THE BOTTOM. LIKE SERIOUSLY, YOU'D THINK HE WOULD GET TO KNOW THE OTHERS. and mabye thats what he would do? idk, i'm just rambling whilst listening to one of my favourite tracks ever.

      King Wongle I also really wanted a mole knight campaign. He's got a great design, lore, an army of mole minions, not to mention his big meaty claws...it would be righteous. Though I'm happy with the trio we got, (would have preferred mole over king), but at least we'll get battle mode. Plus with the trio and shovel knight, the squad's got this nice, "blue, green, red, and yellow" motif that makes them stand out visually.

      I think It'd be neat if there was a mini campaign with Mole Knight discovering/exploring the depths of the Lost City and it gets progressively darker and creepier the further he ventures into it to find Treasure Knight who got lost because he trying to find riches. It could be a Metroidvania or Great Cave Offensive-type layout.

    This is one of those cases where the original song was soooo good that no remix could ever improve it. They tried, but it was a fools errand right from the start.

      Honestly, this song is better than the original IMO. All of them are.
