Story

Shovel of Hope

In Shovel of Hope, Skip can be found at the Armor Outpost, cursing about Treasure Knight and his salvaging operations with the Iron Whale scaring all the fish in the sea. In the 3DS version, Skip will offer 100 in exchange for a 3DS's Play Coin.

In the ending, he can be seen with Bag Fellows aboard the Iron Whale, emptying Treasure Knight's ill-gained treasures. He only leaves behind a single coin.

Plague of Shadows

In Plague of Shadows, Skip can be seen at the Armor Outpost, out of reach. He will flee aboard the Aerial Anvil after Plague Knight's attack.

Specter of Torment

In the ending of Specter of Torment, Skip can be seen fleeing the Armor Outpost during the attack of The Enchantress and her army.

King of Cards

Skip's trade has been running low for months since Treasure Knight started scouring the Valley's waters with his Iron Whale. He proposes to sell his Scepter of Swiftness for 9 Merit Medals to King Knight in order to come by financially. He can be found at the beginning of its Heirloom Course, the Sprinter's Shoal.

King of Cards Shovel of Hope At the start of the Sprinter's Shoal "Skip: Treasure Knight 'n his Iron Whale infest these waters. Ain't seen a decent catch in months. This Heirloom is the last trinket I've got to my name. Please, would ya' bail me out?" Refusing to pay "Skip: Oh, that's quite alright. I'll just wait 'round for a tug on me line. It'll come." After buying the Scepter of Swiftness "Skip: Oh, thank ye! I'll see ya' on the other side of the shoals. Oh, and Shoulder Bashes will roil the seas, so hold off." At the end of the stage "Skip: Well, ye've dredged the trench, but nothing's left here for me. Need an able-bodied crewman?" First time talked to aboard the Glidewing "Skip: Treasure Knight will be sunk some day. I'll live to see his vault picked clean like fish bones, mark my words! " When talked to again at the Glidewing "Skip: You look the wagerin' type. Shall we drop anchor and play some Joustus?" Accepting his duel of Joustus "Skip: I'm quite the card shark. You'll fall for my strategy.... hook, line, and sinker!" Before defeating Treasure Knight "Fisherman: We languish like lubbers while Treasure Knight sails, under the waves in his dread Iron Whale. His treachery scares all the fish in the sea - do us a favor and thrash 'im fer me! YAAAARRRR!" After defeating Treasure Knight "Fisherman: With Treasure Knight thwarted, me timbers are shivered! I tearfully thank ye with lips all aquiver!" (3DS version) after defeating Treasure Knight "Fisherman: My ways must be mended, and what better way, than sharing my profits -- now what do ye say?" "Fisherman: With 1 Play Coin for 100 gold, a bountiful trade, if I'd be so bold!" (3DS version) Give "Fisherman: My ill-gotten gains weigh no more on my soul, so thanks for the Play Coin, have fun with your Gold!" "Fisherman: Will ye trade me more gold for another Play Coin?" (3DS version) Not now "Fisherman: Curses! The thought of this burden upsets me, but that's what a life of adventuring gets me!"

Trivia

• In the 3DS versions of the campaigns besides Shovel of Hope, there is no NPC that fills in the same role of Play Coin trader as Skip, making this exchange feature unique to Shovel of Hope and unique to him.
• Skip was only properly named in King of Cards, going instead under the generic name of "Fisherman" in Shovel of Hope.^[1]
