Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment cheat code adds Mega Man X wall jumping

Posted on 7 years ago by Zack in 3DS eShop, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Yacht Club Games recently revealed a cheat code for Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment changes the way Specter Knight wall jumps to be more in line with the wall jumping from Mega Man X. There are two versions of the cheat, both of which are identical except for the color palette swap that comes with the changed wall jump mechanics. One will turn Specter Knight blue, and the other will change him to red, both of which are likely homages to X and Zero from Mega Man X.

You can find Yacht Club’s Twitter posts, in which they reveal the cheat code, below. For those of you eager to relive the glory days of Mega Man X, the cheat codes are as follows:

For the blue palette, enter C&MVRKHNT when making a profile.
For the red palette, enter S&CBHR when making a profile.

Want to climb and cling to walls as Specter Knight… but red is more your style? Use this cheat instead!
