History

Pirate gear replaces genie magic, and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is WayForward's half-genie adventure about that swap. Risky Boots' pistol covers a gap the hair whip cannot, which is why the genie is borrowing pirate tools.

Risky Boots' items, a pistol and a hat among them, give the jumps and the attacks while Shantae's hair whip still handles close range. Islands hide dungeon routes back toward the curse that binds the two rivals.

The 2014 release covered both the glasses-free handheld and the successor console. Scuttle Town and the pirate ship's map are the hubs between those islands.
