She's at least an entire generation older considering who she's fought and who she used to work for. Considering she exposes herself to Dark Magic I wouldn't be surprised if she ages slower or doesn't age at all. Also her eye color varies so much. She used to have pure red eyes, now her pupils are red in art but her eyes are pure yellow in her sprite.
I swear this just reads as Shantae playing pretend and everyone just going along with her, and imagining that headcanon is adorable. Mimic's her contact back at "headquarters", supporting her as always. Risky, being a pirate, would probably have plenty of experience with law enforcement or she's just going along for the sake of going along with it. For Techno Baron, he's "technically" running a semi-legitimate business so she can't nail him on that, but it feels like she just picked an arbitrary reason to instigate a fight. Holly is likely to just be happy to be remembered again, no matter the circumstances. As for Ammo Baron, he's been shown to be a militant man but not entirely adversarial to Shantae, so he probably wouldn't mind playing as a rival character in her pretend world. Hypno Baron has openly declared he's evil but possibly decided to dial it down to more childish mischief to humor Shantae, which makes the entire "crime" even more hilarious since he and Squid Baron are not only adults, but Squid Baron is a parent himself. And Squid Baron? Well...he's just Squid Baron, he specializes in crazy hijinks.
"And we'll stay up *WELL PAST CURFEW*!" Me: Weaklings. You need to stay up later than THAT. Like say, 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning? Maybe THEN I can look at you.
I like how the only thing considered wrong with Techno Barons operation was the out of season fish. Not the fake mermaids Not the dumping garbage into the ocean Not the kidnapping innocents The out of season fish.
I like how holly tried to make Shantae put Holly into records, wanted posters, everyone’s memories so she could be effectively immortal and Shantae just said “no, that was centuries ago, your free to go.”
So here’s my idea on how helpful each costume does as I’ve seen them so far. Shantae’s pajamas give the best climbing ability, the ninja clothes make you impossible to hit, and the space patrol uniform gives amazing defense because those platform blocks can change position quickly.
If Shantae had a bonus costume called "Robo/Mecha-Shantae" This has her to have a jetpack, a cyber-Shield, a few gun-based attacks, and almost everything like her normal self. If Shantae could also have a ghost outfit. This has her possessing any enemy, and even could be given an ability to ignore physical damage. One final costume is "Angel/Devil Shantae". This let's her to fly, use blessing and curses, and even make enemies force each other to fight
Name identification please Risky: ....seriously? Shantae: Eye color? height? weight? Risky: Not telling, not telling, indeterminate Shantae: 3 sizes? Risky: >:C I HAVE RIGHTS TOO YOU KNOW Shantae: don't mind if I cop a feel ewe
The bosses were easy mode, but the actual platforming maps are fun with the block switching. The auto scroll Wilbur tower in particular was very well designed.
all these cool new stuff coming out for just one game title and I still wanna date the giant mermaid...not gon hapo Wow they even used the cop's theme at the end
Technobaron: I run an counterfeit company Shantae: its fine Technobaron: I use mackerel Shantae: *Ÿ̸̢͖̪͈̺͎̖̟̙̗̲͓̪̲̥́͌̑́̏́̀̓O̸̟̙̭͋͂́͛͌̃̐̿̑̀̏̽̒̓̔͌̏̆͘͝͝͝ͅU̸̡̨̡̟̭̲̭͇͎͕̣̟̬̮͖̼͓̤̭̰͂̿͂́̀́̿̂̉͘̕͜Ŗ̸̧̧̡̢̞̭͇̠̯̜̀̀̿̈́́̇̈́͆̚ͅ ̵̬̺͓͍̗̮̙̱͕̭̮͗̂̓͆̍́̌̾͑̒̈́́̇̇̊̎̈̾̕͜͝F̵̨̦͓͉͈̝̩̳͔͇̲͕̜͓̫̯̲̀̿́͌̍̀͜͜R̷̨͚̂͗͊̔̓͗̿̈́̎̈́̉͗͑͗͜ͅE̸̛̙̲̭̭̣̺͂̐͑̓͐̈́̀̚̕Ĕ̷̻̯̟͓̬̟̳̘̼̼̣̺̟̀͋̋̇̃͊̚ ̷̧̢̫̖̮͔͙͇̟͈͙̖̩͚̼̗̻̑͂̔̌̎̅̚͘͜P̸̧̨͙͎͖̥̪̘͔̪̲̺̓̓̓̑̌̏̄̿͌͐̂̃̈̌̑̑͋̂̃̄R̸̤͇̝̳̳̫̲̰̩̗͒̓̈́̃̀̑́̏̑̑͑̒̉̐̚ͅÍ̶̧̨̢̱̳͈̖͔̼̝̩̼͚̰̦̌̃̅͌̄̚ͅV̶̯̯̩̝͚̖̼̻̙̖̠̩̤͉̒̈́͊͜͝I̷͖͉̍̓̀̂̄̋̊̀͗̒͊̅̈́̕͘̕L̸̫̭̳͍̘͍̰̔̄̂̀̑͒̅̀̄̈́̆̍̂͊̈̐̇̚͝͠͠͝Ę̴̛̜̮͉̪̖̘̥͈͚̗̱̟̻̬͇͕͎̬̅̽͠͝ͅͅͅG̷̡̠͎̜͔̪͈̮͇̼̫̪̹̝̫̠̀͆́E̴̡̛̦̲̝̯̝̫͎̲͔̲̝̞͗̌̍̀̿̃̀̐̃̀̉̈́̍͑͒͑̊̿̚̚ ̴̛̟́̀̅̑͑̑̈́͂͊̓̉̓͂͆̾͠͝͝O̴̜̭̣͙͉̻̫̝͙̙̥͔̠̤̟͐̊͜ͅF̴̨̟̼͖̟̙̼̤̩̞͚̺̰̟͇̖̲̲̬͚̟͚̈́̿̓̑̓̕ ̵̡̡̨̛̥͎̺̼͍͓̭̼̤͓̱͔͚͎͖̺͆͛́̏̈́͊̈́̑̊̔͊̅̕͜͝Ļ̵̱͍̻͎̮̯̦̜̱̳̳͔̥̝̎̇͐̊͐̆͛̔̀̃͊̽͒̕̚̚͘̚͠͝Í̶̡̡̢̧̛̼̭̲̝̫̻̭̖̺͖̘͎̹͔͕͂̏̔̌̈́͂̂̽̌̑́̕͝͝V̷̝̞͔̩̮̖̰̤͎͔̿Į̶͉̗̳̠̹͛͜Ṋ̶̢̦̬̰̺̤̤̮̋̓̍̏̈́̋̍̓̅̐́̀́̔͗͛̒̕̕͝͝G̸̮̭̏̒͛́̓͋̓̔̇͊̄͋̍̋̚͝͝ ̸̢̢̨̢̻͉̜̪̲̳̫̬̣̟̱͛́̑̓̾̐̓̀̉͆̈́͊́̄̚Ḩ̶̢̡̟͙͉̤̙̦̺͙̲̩̥͇̖̇̆͒ͅA̴̰͎̎̏̅̈́̔͒͐͛͊͗́́͆͛̈́͐̚͠͠S̵̢̰̝̤̱͚͔̬̺̻̥̠̜̗͂̈́͋͛̑̿̂͋͋̏̄͛̽̒͊͘̕̕͝ ̵̡̟̳̭̦̺̮̬̺̿͛̆́́̍̓̎́̋̎͜͝Ẻ̶̼͉̿͌̈́̈́̈́̊̀͋̇͂͑͜͜X̵̖͇͉̗̤̯̪̝͍͎̂́̿̈́̆͛̎̾̀͆̃̃͘̕͝P̴̧̡̭̪̻̻̮̬̥̹̲̭̦̭̗̺̽̽̀̒̏͒͜ͅI̶̧̯͔̮̱̼̼̰̪̓̈́̒͐̆͒̆̈́̒̔̚͜R̴͕̙̳͕̦̭͔̞̬̔̃͗̊̈́̆͝͝E̷̢͇̦͓̥͂́̍̇̊̆̈̓̄͌̀̈́͗̉̑̐͒̇̎͗̚̚D̴̢̡̬͓̠̼͛̋̈͒͂̈̾͆̎̇͊͆̓̎͑̚͜*
