It seems more chill and heroic in comparison to the original remix which I think fits Tinker Knight's personality better. Even after being forcibly recruited to being the Order's weapon manafacturer, he's the only member that's trying to do the right thing and at least rule benevolently. Then there's the ending of the main campaign where he starts building toys for children. He's a cool guy.

0:59-1:18 really hits me. I feel like that represents Tinker's sincerity, how he really is just a good inventor and he hopes that his inventions will be used for good.

Tinker Knight might be based on an old Story I read in a book when I was still a Child. It was called: The Toymaker. The Story was about a Guy inventing Toys for Children and anyone who liked having one. The Toys were very functional and could move on their own, sometimes they could speak and were sentient. That‘s were an evil Count was hearing about it and decided to meet the Toymaker to invent him an Army of armed Toys to usurp the King. At first the Toymaker was frightened about the Man and decided to do as he wanted, but when he saw the Machines he built and thought about what they would do, he decided to let them loose inside the Castle, burying the evil Count and himself among his Creations… I know to this day how sad I was when I read the Story and my Mom decided to put the Book away. The Illustrations in the Book were well drawn. At first they were very colorful and you could see happy faces all over. Then when the Count was introduced it became all grey and dark. Until the Story ended with the Sun setting above the Ruins of the Counts Castle, covered in mechanical parts of the Toymakers Creations…
It's amazing how changing the tempo and mixing around the melody of a song can change the whole feel of the song. Of Devious Machinations was fast but more linear, more driven and its melody had a lower pitch, giving it a more sinister vibe; by contrast, Tools of War is also fast, but its speed and percussion are arranged in a way that makes it sound like a different song altogether, and the higher, mixed melody gives it a more upbeat--almost heroic--feel.
This feels like it's more personal than Of Devious Machinations. This is Tinker Knight with a more heartfelt theme, doing what he loves. ODM is the chaos ordered by The Enchantress.
@@theivoryguy2476 and then that Definitely Intentional Trip proceeds to one-shot King Knight at the bottom of said cliff. Meanwhile, Tinker's just fine.
The original version in Shovel of Hope is strict and in order. There is rule and everything is under the control of the Enchantress. Tinker Knight works for the Enchantress during this time and does what she wants him to do. In Specter of Torment everything changes. Tinker Knight isn’t working for the Enchantress and builds what he wants to build and follows his passion. The original represents following orders while the remix represents following your heart.
this is so much more intense in the main game. this was before Tinker became the mechanic of the Order and just did his own thing...he did build his defense mech though just in case...which was put to use against Spectre who came to recruit him to the Order
the weavz Something interesting I noticed was that if you talk to Tinker Knight after beating him, he says he doesn't even want to use his machines for war.
mushroomdude123 Right? Its like Tinker Knight doesnt even want to fight. Hell, in his ending at Shovel of Hope, he makes kids toys! That guy's a sweetheart!
I used to work as an assistant to a group of construction workers in my teens to earn pocket money, and every day while on the site I'd play this through my earbuds. Boosted both productivity and morale while I was there.
You know i tend to imagine that as more DLC gets released for a game different renditions of the same song would go from better to worse,but yet Shovel Knight always manages to make almost every theme it has even better with each installment, like bloody good job Yacht Club, You did a damn good job, Kudos to you all.
Hands down one of the best songs of the series. Plains of Passage was always my favourite but this track just awakens something in me. It feels dramatic and heroic. By the time 1:00 comes around, it's hard not to have some clenched muscles and gritted teeth.
'Of Devious Machinations' was probably one of my favorite pieces from the original soundtrack, and my favorite of the Kauffman composed Order of No Quarter level themes. This is different, but epic in a different way from the original.
sounds like if shovel Knight was a turned based rpg and you fight your way through the clockwork tower only to face tinker Knight and his mecha mech as the big boss
this is the one where the difference with the original is visible the most. while the SoH sountracks were more dark, SoT sounds more like a knight level soundtrack should, with faith and glory
It's been my personal theory that the SoT tracks are meant to represent the knights before they were forced into the Order, and the SoH are meant to represent them under servitude of the Empress. Like Propeller's theme having a more whimsical feel on SoT that is lost on SoH or Plague's being more chaotic on SoT than SoH
I love how Plague and Tinker's stages have my least favorite themes in the original game (I still like them, just not the best to me) but in Specter of Torment they're by far my 2 favorite stage themes, lol. I''d love one last set of arrangements for King Knight's campaign but it's understandable if it doesn't happen.
I presume it is a Metal Man reference. And probably also the reason you fight the easy version of him first. They didn't want the weakness to spoil the battle, but they also wanted the reference.
im getting a mega man x vibe with the beats in this arrangement of tinker knight love it im on this stage now and I'm so distracted by the music its too good.
I must be trying too hard to find Castlevania related themes on this campaing's OST. Because I can't help but hear a similarity with "Opus 13" from "Rondo of blood / dracula X". This is fucking great by the way.
Tinker tank was pretty hard. For reference always beat treasure,then get the curio, propeller , repeat,then tinker. Judgement rush and hover plume are your best choice
This is my least favorite game in the series, I just found it way too easy but that's my only complaint the gameplay is great, the story is like the best of all the other ones and its soundtrack is also good. It was just honestly too easy for me

I honestly thought that specter of torment was better than the base game.
DoubleBoostLimit SAME
Do you mean soundtrack or gameplay cause gameplay was the best and story 2 and soundtrack was good but only on certain songs such as this one
nah I think it's just as good as shovel knight in gameplay but story and music are better
Or maybe it was just easier.
DoubleBoostLimit Oh fuck you men

Goddamit evertime I hear shovel knight music I can't help but think that Jake Kaufman is an unappreciated genius
I can tell that after Plague of Shadows that Yacht Games just told Jake Kaufman to go all out for the level music
I think this is actually better than the original and the original was great. Jake Kaufman is amazing.
All of them are better except for plains and pridemoor keep imo.
@@seniorshrek6197 pridemoor keep has two- which one?
And plains is very good,I think it is your perspective

Old news, but Capcom finally did it!
The little transition motif at 1:34 is my favorite part of the whole song. Super good transition!

Except for pridemoir keep.
Pridemoor keep is in all honesty one of my favorites because of the massive shift in style and why that shift in style is done.
I think King Of Cards will reuse all the Specter Of Torment remixes.
How Kaufman switched the verse and the chorus of this song for this variation is beyond me, hot dang.
Hello modern shovel knight fan
@@Sweepypuppy Hello :D
It’s super rare to find people who enjoy shovel knight as well!!! super glad I came across the osts because most of everyone came for the nostalgia
I cannot describe how amazing this remix is. Reminds me so much of Metalman.
I just love Specter of Torment.
The only thing I have ever played until 100% was specter of torment.
Funny because both are weak to their weopon since kill tinker with mobility gear
I was not expecting this campaign to be as good as it was
*Angry duck noises*
"Sorry, that was a terrible noise."

God, why does the Clockwork Tower have all the best level tunes?
sounds like if shovel Knight was a turned based rpg and you fight your way through the clockwork tower only to face tinker Knight and his mecha mech as the big boss
*SPOILER ALERT* that's pretty much what happens...
Mobile Gear Solid: Tactical Shoveling Action
shovel knight pocket dungeon comes out in the future
this is the one where the difference with the original is visible the most. while the SoH sountracks were more dark, SoT sounds more like a knight level soundtrack should, with faith and glory

1:10 best part this song slaps so hard
Before I heard Specter of Torment's Soundtrack, I thought Propeller Knight had the best level music, I have changed my mind.
Jake Kaufman is a freaking God.
Same rhythm as "La Danse Macabre."
YoshiAngemon it's a bit faster
Yeah I realized it too. Specter was like you know what? Gimme them notes (takes tools of war, gives to bard, and get his own theme).
Danse Macabre and Devious Machinations had a tempo swap in this game. Don't know if that was intentional, but it sure is interesting.
funny story, ive never actually played the original shovel knight. only specter of torment
i should probably get around to playing it sometime
Honestly probably my favorite track in the whole game.
That bassline though.
It's... So... Amazing...
My god, this remix is sooo badass.
I honestly forgot this was a remix of devious machinations and thought it was its own original track for so long.
*Tinker Knight's mech appears*
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun supah fightin' robot! XD
HOW THE FUCK DO I GET UP AND THIS FUCKER KEEPS THROWING GEARS AT ME

i love this remake of the track
this was the first game of the series i completed, it was just way more fun than the others

hip indeed it probably will if king knights takes place before specter knights
Cakeyeater king of spades or whatever its called will most likely take place after all of the campaigns

I can't wait to hear king of cards' version of this masterpiece

Change my mind
This song is awesome
My brain is currently seeing specter knight do the Belmont walk.
Me in my room at 3am.
I died many times in this level,but hearing this song while playing didn't made me rage.
Me: I love Of Devious Machinations. There's no way this song can get better.
Jake Kaufman: Hold my beer...
After 0:08 the song is amazing.
This so good
HOw are you supposed to pick a favorite song from this soundtrack?
Canonical name in the Sound Test is "Tools of War"
This music plays when the bullied gangs up against the bullies
Best song in the game :D
I may have preferred PoS's gameplay and KoC's sense of humor, but SoT's music and story got me right in the dick, dude
literally so good
Best song out of every campaign.
Tinker knight have litterally built the thing that can beat him in one hit, but only himself know everything about the mobile gear !
I presume it is a Metal Man reference. And probably also the reason you fight the easy version of him first. They didn't want the weakness to spoil the battle, but they also wanted the reference.
GOOD SHIT
La música de este juego te hace entender la gran odisea que tiene cada personaje junto con su historia. Y Specter Knight no se queda atras

Because I can't help but hear a similarity with "Opus 13" from "Rondo of blood / dracula X".
This is fucking great by the way.
Only remix I liked better then thr original which doesn't say much cause I like a the songs
This is more upbeaty since Tinker Knight didn’t join the order yet so he’s just having fun making tools with his pals.
He enjoyed making anything like real world tech nerds. I would personally enjoy tinkering with my machines rather than doing something productive.
King of Cards Stage
Torque Lift Torsion

Is there an extended version of this? No? ....I'll wait.
Is it weird that I like this more than the original tinker knight stage theme?
Perfectly natural.
No.
I get the vibe of F-zero on this one.

Megaman debe pensar: Por que esta mierda tan epica no esta en mi nuevo juego? pues si es ña debilidad del MM11 no tiene musica como esta.... lastima
best track of entire shovel knight series
As of now i agree completely
I listen to this while watching power tool restoration videos you guys should try it.
sounds like a remix of bob the builder.
an epic one
This is dripping with megaman sound
What are you, some kind of ghost? Get out of here, I have work to do.
I think i butchered It
Serious question, am I the only one who beat this Tinker Knight on the first encounter? Also, did anyone touch the Mobile Gear spikes just to confirm?
