'''Sir Shovalots'''<ref name=MvDK>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' North American instruction booklet. Page 28.</ref> are enemies that wield a shield to push [[Mario]] away. Their name is a portmanteau of "{{wp|Lancelot|Sir Lancelot}}", a knight of Arthurian legend, and "shove", relating to their behavior.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)===
Sir Shovalots debut in the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'', first appearing in [[Stage 3-2]]. When [[Mario]] is in their line of sight, they stop to gradually extend their shield and then charge at him. They do not hurt Mario themselves, but push him away, and can only walk back if he is on a [[ladder]]. They can push Mario off the platform he is currently standing on, but they can also push him against a wall, flattening him and making him lose a life in the process. Sir Shovalots can also push Mario into narrow gaps while he is [[crouch]]ing, allowing him to access new areas.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''===
Sir Shovalots appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]] [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|of the same name]]. They seem to be redesigned, with feet being replaced by wheels. They show up in [[Spooky House]] and [[Twilight City]]. They act similarly, but they now charge as soon as they see Mario. Sir Shovalot and the true final boss are the only ways Mario can get crushed sideways.

===Other appearances===
Though Sir Shovalots do not appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', [[Donkey Kong's robot|monkey robot]] enemies named [[Crash Kong]]s are introduced, which behave similarly to them in that game, charging and pushing [[Mini]]s and potentially knocking them down or flattening them (using cymbals instead of a shield).
