Her arsenal? Her Prehensile Hair and her magical belly-dancing. It's up to Shantae to track them down before she does. With it, she plans to build an enormous machine with which she can use to take over the world-but in order to do so, she needs the Four Elemental Stones. One day, the evil pirate captain Risky Boots raids the town with her army of Tinkerbats and steals the Steam Engine, one of the creations of Shantae's Gadgeteer Genius uncle. The game stars the eponymous Shantae, a sassy half-genie who works as the guardian of the town of Scuttle Town. Released in 2001 near the extreme end of the Game Boy Color's lifespan, Shantae is Way Forward Technologies' love letter to the Metroidvania genre. In the quiet Port Town of Scuttle Town, in the far-off Magical Land known as Sequin Land, a cute purple-haired half-genie with magical dancing powers at her disposal fights off evil.
