The ones you've likely been melting down with the Squidsmith for health, specifically. The Squid Baron is looking after his sister's kids on Paradise/Siren island, and tells Shantae to let him know if she finds them.Quite useful for refilling on Gems, Hearts, or Magic. Using the Refresh Dance near a skull will result in the now resurrected head to scream before dying again.Big Bad Ensemble: While the Seven Sirens are in charge of the island and have abducted the half-genies, Risky doesn't care about what's going on the island and is looking for something in it.Bag of Spilling: Shantae has none of her skills from the previous game, but now must build a new set combining her powers with the other half-genies and getting Fusion Coins.Her new body was rotting from the inside as soon as it was created. Unfortunately for her, the fifth "half-genie" was actually Rottytops, and from her she took the "life" force of the undead. By taking the magic from five drops of genie life force, she would have true immortality and become unstoppable. Assimilation Backfire: The Empress Siren restores her physical form by consuming some life force from the half-genies Risky Boots delivered to her.A kid in Arena Town informs Shantae about the animals she can transform into and the various impossible things they do that shouldn't be possible for their species. Artistic License – Biology: Lampshaded.For example, a Plink icon will pop up in a room with Seer Dance objects, a Vera icon will appear in a room with Refresh Dance objects, etc. The "Spectacular Superstar Update" added icons of the Half-Genies that appear at the top of the screen when Shantae enters a room in which their respective dance would be relevant.Notably, this doesn't happen in New Game Plus. Any other kind of pick-up that falls down a pit just vanishes. If a monster card falls off-screen before Shantae can reach it, the player still collects the card anyway.Antagonist Title: The game's main antagonists, the Seven Sirens, have their name in the title.However, they can still talk, and once they're freed they do manage to wiggle free. Shantae and Sky are sold as life-sized action figures to Squid Baron, while stuck in the armor Armor Baron made for them. Ambiguous Situation: Apart from Lobster Girl and Empress Siren, it's not shown what happened to the Sirens in general outside of a win screen.This ultimately wound up being pointless, as Shantae's battle with the Empress Siren ended up destroying it. All for Nothing: Risky's latest elaborate scheme was done solely so she could claim the Sirens' airship as her own.Air-Dashing: The point of the Dash Newt transformation beyond Wall Crawl.Advertised Extra: Only two of the Sirens have any significant relevance to the plot, yet they're all present on the cover art nonetheless.Except that Shantae was looking for Rottytops, who was hiding before she could get a chance to get invited. Adventure Rebuff: Rottytops assumed this was the case, and hid into Shantae's luggage and later dressed up as a half-genie to make up for not being invited.Added Alliterative Appeal: In the Spectacular Superstar Update Trailer, the Definitive Mode is called the "Seven Sirens Sirector's Cut", instead of "director's cut".Actually, I Am Him: The Ghost Dog that Shantae comes across is highly implied to be Harmony's dead genie mother, who was responsible for sealing the Sirens in the first place.Naturally, none of that happens in the game proper, and since Studio TRIGGER animated it, no big surprise there. Action-Hogging Opening: The game's opening has Shantae, Rottytops, Bolo, Sky and Mimic defend Scuttle Town from Risky and her Tinkerbat hordes in a huge battle.Achievement System: The Win Screens are Cosmetic Awards awarded for completing the game under certain times and with 100% items or not, or wearing the Hula Costume gotten by completing the game.30-Second Blackout: In the midst of the half-genies' performance, the lights suddenly go out with all of them save for Shantae vanishing.The game also received a free update in November 2021 that rebalanced the difficulty and added new game modes.
