Summary
Genie-girl Shantae is the self-appointed guardian of a small fishing village, Scuttle Town. Living life in a lighthouse rather than a bottle, she's constantly on the lookout for danger. When the nefarious lady-pirate, Risky Boots catches wind of the treasure that was recently unearthed in the village, she launches an attack. To get Scuttle out of trouble, it's up to Shantae to prove that she's the rightful 'Guardian Genie' to the best of her dancing, buying and hair-whipping abilities. Now crack that whip!

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero adds a whole new adventure on December 12 with the $7.99 Friends to the End DLC. Players swap between three of Shantae’s pals—Sky, Bolo and Rottytops—as they travel through remixed game levels to save the half-genie from dark magic.
Wayforward’s half-genie hero, Shantae, is available today as a free downloadable character for Blaster Master Zero on the Switch, and she is a delight to play. Side-scrolling is tough with only her signature hair-whip, but her animal transformations make the top-down segments a joy.
