(→Names in other languages: For some reason, the Dutch portion appears to be missing for nearly all the GBA manual PDFs that Nintendo of Europe has provided on their website, despite the fact that it SHOULD be there in the original print. I don't have the European MvDK manual at hand, but given the page amounts, and all the names of this enemy being nearly the same across the board, I'm certain this should be correct.) |

Sir Shovalots[1] are enemies that wield a shield to push Mario away. Their name is a portmanteau of Sir Lancelot, a British knight, and the word "shove", relating to their behavior.
History
Donkey Kong (Game Boy)
Sir Shovalots debut in the Game Boy version of 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 crouching, allowing him to access new areas.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Sir Shovalots appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong and the Nintendo Switch remake 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, monkey robot enemies named Crash Kongs are introduced, which behave similarly to them in that game, charging and pushing Minis and potentially knocking them down or flattening them (using cymbals instead of a shield).
