Oh, hello, my flightless friend! If you have an amiibo, I can transform it... into a fairy companion! Would you like me to summon some
fairy fun
for you?
Boopity boo!
What shall we do?

Madam Meeber, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove

Madam Meeber is a character who first appeared in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, normally exclusive to the Nintendo game versions (Wii U, 3DS, and Nintendo Switch), appearing in all four campaigns. She also had an extended role in the King of Cards campaign regardless of the game's version, hidden in a secret location difficult to find.

Her main and most prominent ability, is that she can scan an amiibo and summon a Fairy companion, who will follow the protagonists throughout their campaigns.

Despite the fact that her Fairy companions are made available to summon in the Nintendo Switch version of Pocket Dungeon, Madam Meeber herself does not appear in said title; she instead was added to the Nintendo Switch version of Shovel Knight Dig on June 26, 2023 alongside the Fate and Fortune DLC.

Fairy Companions[]

Four different fairy companions can be summoned in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, later becoming five in Pocket Dungeon and Dig; each one represents a protagonist from one of the four main campaigns of Treasure Trove, and is unlocked by its respective amiibo:

  • The Fairy of Shovelry, tied to the Shovel Knight amiibo.
  • The Fairy of Alchemy, tied to the Plague Knight amiibo.
  • The Fairy of Torment, tied to the Specter Knight amiibo.
  • The Fairy of Royalty, tied to the King Knight amiibo.
  • The Gilded Fairy of Shovelry, who appeared for the first time in Pocket Dungeon but was named in Dig, is tied to the Golden Edition Shovel Knight amiibo.

Unlike the Fairy enemies, these fairies are harmless. They follow their knights and interact with the world around them in various ways, like trying to lift treasures, poking at enemies ineffectually, and mourning fallen knights.

Additionally, each fairy has extra unique interactions with the characters and the world around them. As an example, in Plague of Shadows, the Fairy of Alchemy in particular can get stuck inside Mona's Dynamo Decanter while she's processing an Essence.

Costumes[]

In Plague of Shadows, Specter of Torment, and King of Cards, when scanning the associated amiibo, Madam Meeber will also tell you that the fairy comes with its own special set of armor. These costumes are strictly cosmetic, only changing the set of clothes the character is wearing, the dialogue portraits, and the sprites on the Valley map. Any protective Gear they are wearing will stack up on top of the costume, changing it's proprieties according to the ones of the Gear. The costumes can be removed simply by asking Madam Meeber to do so. The fairy costumes are as follows:

  • The Boomtech set, for Plague Knight.
  • The Lich Lord set, for Specter Knight.
  • The Ultimate Supreme set, for King Knight.

These costumes can also be unlocked in Shovel Knight Showdown for them to wear simply by scanning the associated amiibo in the title screen.

Alongside the costumes listed above, there is a fourth costume set, the Baron set, for Shovel Knight to wear. Unlike the other three however, it is not tied to the Fairy of Shovelry or Madam Meeber, and can only be worn while playing as Custom Knight and after fully leveling it up. Said costume can however be unlocked for Shovel Knight to wear in Showdown in the exact same manner as the other costumes. Custom Knight also has access to two other costumes, the Body Swap Mode costume and the Fish Head costume, both of which are also available in Showdown.

Locations[]

In the Nintendo versions of each game, Madam Meeber appears in the corresponding hub zone, specifically in the following locations:

Appearances[]

Shovel of Hope[]

In the Nintendo console versions of Shovel of Hope, Madam Meeber appears at the Village. She offers to summon any of the four available fairies if one of the corresponding amiibo is scanned.

Plague of Shadows[]

In the Nintendo console versions of Plague of Shadows, Madam Meeber appears at the Potionarium. She offers to summon any of the four available fairies if one of the corresponding amiibo is scanned. If the Plague Knight amiibo is scanned, she also offers the Boomtech Set for Plague Knight to wear if he so chooses.

Specter of Torment[]

In the Nintendo console versions of Specter of Torment, Madam Meeber appears at the Tower of Fate hub. She offers to summon any of the four available fairies if one of the corresponding amiibo is scanned. If the Specter Knight amiibo is scanned, she also offers the Lich Lord Set for Specter Knight to wear if he so chooses.

King of Cards[]

In the Nintendo console versions of King of Cards, Madam Meeber appears aboard the Glidewing. She offers to summon any of the four available fairies if one of the corresponding amiibo is scanned. If the King Knight amiibo is scanned, she also offers the Ultimate Supreme Set for King Knight to wear if he so chooses.

In all versions, Madam Meeber also appears in an hidden location known as the Fairy Glade. When talked to, she asks King Knight to pick his favorite fairy.

King Knight can then run around in the field to collect a fairy by using his normal attack button. Almost every character with a dialogue portrait has a Fairy version of themselves, including the Fairies of Shovelry, Alchemy, Torment, and Royalty. Upon returning to Meeber with a fairy in tow, she will ask King Knight if this is the fairy he wants, unless it is the Fairy of Royalty in which case she will prevent him from selecting it and ask him to find another fairy. If he says yes, she then begins a ceremony in which she crowns the selected fairy as “The Fairy King”. King Knight frantically protests, complaining that he himself wants to be the Fairy King instead, and starts crying as Meeber continues to chant and praise the fairy. The scene is then revealed to be all a dream, with King Knight waking up in his room at The Homestead, confused about the whole ordeal.

After witnessing this scene, all Propeller Rats lose their propellers and instead gain orange fairy wings; these wings will disappear once the game is soft-resetted, needing to visit the Fairy Glade once again in order to make them re-appear. Amongst this, if the player hasn’t gone into King Knight’s room yet, the Feat Get Out of My Room! is unlocked, furthermore giving King Knight access to the Mom and King Knight Joustus cards hidden nearby.

King Knight can also go back to the Fairy Glade and choose the same Fairy or a different one. The last Fairy chosen will be shown in the end credits as "Favorite Fairy!"

Dig[]

In the Nintendo Switch Version, Madam Meeber once again appears offering her services. She can Scan one of the compatible amiibo, then Summon their corresponding Fairy companion, the same from both Treasure Trove and Pocket Dungeon, whenever wanted, or Dismiss said companion when unwanted.

Like in Pocket Dungeon, the Gold Edition amiibo functionality is not identical to the normal Shovel Knight amiibo, as it will summon a golden fairy instead of the standard blue one, the Gilded Fairy of Shovelry.

When summoning, a complete list of the possible Fairy Companions will appear, with a series of "?" hiding the name of any fairy whose compatible amiibo has yet to be scanned, as well as a description indicating which amiibo is required to scan to unlock said fairies; however, to see this list, first at least one Fairy Companion must be made available, otherwise Madam Meeber will protest about being unable to do her job.

Cyber Shadow[]

The hidden "Mecha fairy" from Cyber Shadow, a game published by Yacht Club Games, heavily resemble Madam Meeber. It only appears in Nintendo Switch versions of the game, and its lines mirrors' Madam Meeber offering a different costume and a small companion, in this case, a flying robot modeled after the fairy companions. However, it has technically no associated feature, as scanning amiibo in the game, directly grants its associated bonuses.

Trivia[]

  • Her sprite model is named "Fairy Grandmother".
  • Parts of Madam Meeber's design are inspired by the amiibo logo, such as the colors of her wings and on her bosom. Her name is a pun on the word "amiibo" pronunciation, particularly "Ma'am Meeber".
  • In Specter of Torment, performing the Cold Shoulder with the Fairy of Shovelry equipped will cause it to pose with Specter Knight if it isn't preoccupied.
  • While wearing the Boomtech set, Plague Knight has to do a completely different pose while entering the revolving wall in Pridemoor Keep.
  • The Fairy sprites from the Fairy Glade re-appear in Showdown, whenever the Fairy Wand item is used.
