As fun as it is to unlock new stages and characters in fighting games, sometimes you just want to be able to play as your favourite character right away. A feature to unlock everything is also helpful when it comes to the competitive fighting game scene – to ensure tournaments operate smoothly.
With this in mind, Yacht Club Games has now shared cheat codes, to unlock everything temporarily and permanently within Shovel Knight Showdown when it is released next month, on 10th December.
In a post on the official PlayStation blog, Yacht Club developer David D'Angelo provided a detailed explanation about the unlocks system and then went onto discuss how the temporary and permanent cheat codes worked:
This cheat will unlock all the characters, stages, palettes, and costumes temporarily. That means, the game will no longer save your progress from here on out, until you reset.
This will unlock all the characters, stages, palettes, and costumes permanently. That means, your save file will be permanently altered to have everything in the game unlocked. Done and done… but maybe less fun?
Will you be making use of these codes when Shovel Knight Showdown arrives next month? Comment below.

Might use the non permanent code for the first multiplayer session. I like having different options for these kind of things.
Permanent code? I remember using temporary codes on games when I was young. Meant we could attempt to unlock things properly every time we booted up the game.
Man I can’t wait for this to finally be out. Can’t believe it’s been over 2 1/2 years since Specter of Torment!
This is awesome! Way to go Yacht Club! I haven’t used cheats since I was a kid, but I’ve missed them a time or two if only for nostalgia. I get why online games don’t have cheats, but why all single player games don’t have debug/cheat menu is beyond me. Or even on/off games like Diablo, having a cheat option that disabled online while active. Another option to help players of any ability. Use em if ya want, up to the player. No judgement here. As a teenager I always bought Gamesharks for my systems!
This is a really smart way to go about it. I can see the permanent unlock as a great option for tournaments, and the temporary one as great for parties where you'd want everything unlocked but the person hosting still wants to go in later and unlock things at their own pace. It's great seeing the devs thinking about situations like these that could easily be overlooked and providing multiple options for the players.
A feature needed for smash tournaments so people dont have to buy a copy for the tournament and unlock everything over again. This is super convenient
I wont be making use of the codes, but ill sure be playing some showdown and KoC
These are awesome codes and are super smart on Yacht Club’s part. I personally may not use them but I can imagine several scenarios where someone would
Take notes Ubisoft. This is how you have time savers.
Temporary content unlocks as a cheat code?
That's effin' brilliant!
Yacht Club just get it.
It would be a damn neat feature to have... in the case I lose my save file or something.
I can't believe what I'm going to say, but I think I'm going to unlock everything manually.
My girlfriend might use these codes, though.
Nan boys, I'll just be happy if they put in some more random cheat codes like in the main game
