Version differences?

Hello! I'm new to the SpeedRun community, but have lurked for a while. I am a huge Shovel Knight fan, and considered running it since I purchased the game a year ago. I've never "speedrun" a game before, so this is a new endeavor for myself. Shovel Knight is the only game that can "hold" my attention long enough to learn the runs. I'm interested in learning Any% primarily (started watching BustahWuff & Maestro tutorials), and the new Custom Knight looks like a blast to run with the new items.

So my question - are all versions of Shovel Knight now at the same point? I know in the past, the PC version was the superior version to run it because of version differences, and fight changes (e.g. Specter Knight). I ask because I only have Shovel Knight on the 3DS, as it's the most convenient for me to practice on and play. I also prefer a controller on this game vs KB/M, so 3DS works well.

Looking forward to chatting with everyone - have a great day.

p.s. Do you guys have a Discord server?

as up now every platform has the same version. Custom Knight might not be that much runnable since the order you get your new items is random every time. I would probably suggest Wiiu (since you can coop in it now which can be fun to do) or PC .

Thanks for comments!

Ok cool, I'll keep working on it on 3DS for now. I was thinking of Custom Knight purely for fun runs, but yeah, the random items can be tricky. I'm working through it now, and not having the Chaos Sphere 5 bosses in is slower than I expected.

Exploud, Custom Knight runs are starting a new file with a full Lvl 50 Amiibo. You don't erase your amiibo's memory to play it lol.

Ah right, full level 50 Amiibo - makes more sense :)
