*Castle Crashers* boasts an impressive lineup of 32 distinct characters, each unlockable through various methods including gameplay challenges and optional DLCs. Leveraging the game's co-op feature with friends is the most effective way to unlock the maximum number of characters.

It's important to remember that in a co-op lobby, each player must select a unique character for their playthrough. For instance, multiple players can't choose the Green Knight simultaneously. Characters are also not transferable between multiple profiles or within a lobby; each player must unlock them individually, though this can be done in a co-op setting.

Below is a detailed list of all characters in *Castle Crashers* and the specific steps needed to unlock them.
