What the fuck?!

I definitely got the Hurry Up feat! It said so at the top of the screen when I beat the game! My final time was 1:29:03! But it's not highlighted on the Feats screen!

Why??? I'm about to cry. :(

Did you leave the credits? I had a similar issue with Again! because I posted on miiverse and the game froze, so I had to power off the credits. Everything looked fine, but the achievement was missing.
Somewhat fortunately, the game doesn't recognize you as having the achievement, in this scenario. This means you can still get the achievement, but unfortunately you must do it again.

I just had to beat the NG+ enchantress again. Your process will be a lot more painful. Good luck.

Thanks! Never dawned on me to do that for whatever reason lol

I was driven near mad about the same thing. Asked about it in the thread about 30 pages ago. Seems like we're the only two with the issue, but at least I don't feel as stupid as I did when I thought I was the only one!

Oh fuck :(
I hope YCG knows about this.
 
Damn, the last three stages go full on retard mode. Everything I hate - enemies knocking you off into bottomless pits and one-hit kill spikes.

Shame, game was SO FUN before that.. Now I just want to finish this damn game and get it over with.

How about trying the momentum armor? You take practically no knockback.
It's one of my favorites for learning levels.

No! I waited through all of the credits until The End.

It's right there. Right there. I don't know why it didn't register and I don't wanna do it again. :(

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with 34/45 feats done...

I'm sure they store the clear time of the file somewhere. Shouldn't be too hard to check it and reward those who didn't get the feat. I'd make sure they were aware of this, though.

I was looking at that. But there was this thing about not being able to slow down. I figured it was going to emulate the ice-ground effect in MegaMan games if I put that on, so I never bothered.

Regardless, I'm on the last stage now where it's all black and I have to summon the blocks to walk/jump on as I move forward...and it's not fun, at all. Can I PLEASE just fight the enchantress now =p It's almost like I feel the game is about two stages too long.

The sliding is barely noticeable. It's about 1/5 the slipperyness of the game's actual ice tiles.
RE final level:
it's very short, probably only 30 seconds of actual platforming

Butt Mode has been leaked/cracked with the codes.

I kind of feel bad for the development team about all the cheat codes being cracked right away, especially if they were saving a few things for surprises a little later.

Part of the fun with the old 8-bit and 16-bit cheat codes were the rumors about what cheat codes exist, and slowing finding them and trying them.

Somehow having all 300+ cheat codes dumped all at once just days after the game was released takes some of the fun away, at least for me it does.

Yeah, that's what I meant, thank you.

I play on PC with a 360 controller, whach has A and B by the way, but swapped, if you compare it to Wii U.

So what is the default key setup on Wii U and 3DS?

And which button works as back on the menu, and which as confirm?

Y is Shovel and B is Jump in default Wii U controls, which makes Y the Cancel Button and B Accept. Wish there was a way to assign separate Accept/Cancel buttons, but that wouldn't be tru to the real NES setup.

I agree. I was looking forward to slowly writing them down in my 3DS game notes.

What the fuck is butt mode?

Butt mode is an enigma, known by name only. The first surfacing of Butt Mode was a mention as the mythical $350,000 stretch goal in the game's final days. It eventually rose to in-joke status among the final 24 hour stream participants.
As to what it exactly entails, has remained a mystery. At least until now, with unplanned early unveiling. YCG planned to release the code somehow to the backers at some point in the future, whether it be publicly or dropped through a stream of sorts. This leak has ruined that plan completely.

I'm looking at the code list now... none of them seem like they're real. They don't include any punctuation or numbers like in the Super Jump and Iron Man codes.

They work. And they have the listed effect too.

The guy that cracked it explained it as

Sparktail25 on Gamefaqs said:
Those are ALL the codes. The three already revealed are among those too, just using a different code. The magic is that the game doesn't store any code in text, instead it transforms the name you enter into a single 32 bits number, and if that number matches one of the codes, then you unlock it. The thing is, if you enter a random name, you only have 321/4294967296 (or 0.00000747386%) odd of unlocking a code, which is roughly the odd of winning the lottery.

However, there are more than 600000000000000 actual names you can enter as your profile name, which gives roughly 150000 UNIQUE name that could in theory unlock each code. The method I used to calculate code only gives one of those 150000 names for one code. So no, they don't look like the official codes, but to the game, they may as well be the same code. In fact, the first code I found while testing my algorithm was a replacement for the iron man code (I used that code in my testing). It's not the list because I didn't note it anywhere, but when I tried it, it unlocked the iron man mode.

This game! THIS GAME

Is amazing ! :)

Just the whole B to confirm is a little confusing.... are they going to patch it?

So there are multiple versions of the same code?

I still fucking hate the guy but that is somewhat interesting.
yeah multiple codes for the same effect.

you can see the Super Jump and Moon Jump listed on the cracked codes
Considering the pattern, assuming what you people say is correct (I refuse to look at them), I think we will be able to somewhat easily distinguish between officially released codes and codes discovered via the crack.

yeah it will probably be really easy to tell the difference between official codes and the cracked ones.
EDIT: YCG HAND FORCED, OFFICIAL BUTT MODE CODE SHOWN

yep that code is way better compared to the cracked one.

So far Butt Mode is as useful as GAF Gold. If there are any changes, it isn't to Shovel Knight himself.

EDIT: AHAHAHAHA, it's a dialogue edit.

So... is there some trick to this last boss?

I really haven't had much trouble up until this point, but I've been banging my head for like 15 minutes now. What a shitty boss and bad way to close out an awesome game.

???

Bounce on the shield and then on her head. You can use the propeller dagger to get some extra hits while doing this.

Yeah, I managed to finish it just now.

Still thought that was a horribly frustrating fight. I really enjoyed all of the other boss fights, but that just sucked.
 
As far as I can tell, all Butt Mode does is replace certain words with Butt. So far I've noticed Shovel and Knight. So Shovel Knight is just called Butt Butt, and King Knight was called King Butt.

Amazing.

I think we need a butt mode title change after this earth-shattering revelation.

While playing New Game +, I noticed
the Propeller Dagger destroys Black Knight in the final fight. I managed to somehow beat him before he even sprouted wings.

I bought this game this morning just beat treasure knight. What a great game. We need so much more of this stuff.

Trying to get that feat where you bounce on that hoop for 5 seconds. Uggg!!!

That one was so weird for me. I tried and tried and just couldn't get it. Then one time I just decided to bounce on the hoop for the hell of it as I was walking by and got it.
