Story[]
Shovel of Hope[]
The Passmaster guards the entrance to the arena. According to a human Adventurer outside the arena, he is the undefeated champion of the arena. In that regards, the Passmaster says that through consistent training, Shovel Knight may one day live up to his glory. He also offers Shovel Knight to view or record his Battle Ghost.
"Passmaster:You now stand within the StreetPass Arena! Here, we compete as battle ghosts using StreetPass! Would you like to record a new battle ghost?"
Asking "Explain?"
"Passmaster:The StreetPass arena works with other Shovel Knight players tagged through Streetpass! First, enter the arena alone and show off your winning strategy! This exhibition will create a ghost that mimics you. You'll automatically exchange ghosts with other users you tag with StreetPass, even in sleep mode! Finally, leave and return to the arena to watch the battle play out using your battle ghosts. Winners get prizes!"
Answering "Begin!" without enabling StreetPass first
"Passmaster:Before we can begin, you must activate StreetPass. Activate StreetPass for this software?"
Answering "Yes" to enabling StreetPass
"Passmaster:Well then, warrior, it shall be enabled for you! Wonderful! You can now participate in the StreetPass Arena! Would you like to record a new battle ghost?"
