About This Game

Shantae is the re-release of the 2002 Game Boy Color action-adventure platformer that introduced the Half-Genie heroine to the world. In her debut, Shantae uses her signature hair-whip attacks, belly dancing transformation magic, and acrobatic combat to protect the port town of Scuttle City from the ruthless lady pirate Risky Boots. The quest takes her across Sequin Land in search of four elemental stones — the only things standing between Risky Boots and the power she needs to carry out her scheme.
