Shantae Gba Item Series For My
It sold out of its original print (which has become the holy grail for Shantae collectors) but never did a second print. The game was released a year after the Game Boy Advance and thus flew under the radar. It was developed by WayForward and published by Capcom and became somewhat of an underdog story. The game was originally released in 2002 for the Game Boy Color and later made available on the 3DS Virtual Console in 2013. It’s the last missing piece of my digital collection of the series for my Nintendo Switch, and I’ve had to wait that long because it’s only now become available on that console.Shantae for the Switch is a re-release of the original game of what would become one of the most beloved indie video game series out there. My journey through the Shantae series has finally taken me to where it all started for the half-genie hero.
Unless you get familiar with using the various items, talismans, or fighter’s gear, there will be some enemies that take seemingly forever to beat with the hair whip.Choose from the Game Boy Color or the enhanced Game Boy Advance versions.Let’s also talk about the leaps of faith in the game, hoo boy! Especially in the waterfall level. You also can’t increase Shantae’s hair whip speed like you can with the other games, and you can only temporarily increase the hair’s attack power using mints bought in the game. For example, it appeared that the attack range of Shantae’s hair whip was shorter than the other games, which makes sense considering the lack of real estate on the screen.I found that the range slightly improves if you attack while in a crouching position. I had to take into account the limitations of the hardware this game was designed for. Having played all the other Shantae games, I found this one to be particularly challenging, perhaps more so if I hadn’t had the benefit of save states. GameplayI played the Game Boy Advance version of the game for the better color palette and the ability to use the tinkerbat dance (though you can also play the original Game Boy Color version for a slightly more authentic experience).
Those leaps of faith…yikes! #Shantae pic.twitter.com/ohV8m40fVWThe save states helped me avoid some headaches here. Many expletives were said!Save states feel kind of cheap, but I can't imagine getting through his game without them. I had a few hilarious instances of taking big jumps and just barely missing the floating log as I fell to my doom each time.
You have to accomplish different feats to learn some of these dances. Unlike in Risky’s Revenge and Half-Genie Hero, the world around you doesn’t freeze to a halt, so you run the risk of being attacked mid-dance. What makes this especially challenging is if you’re trying to perform this in the vicinity of enemies. If you don’t time it right the sequence starts over. When you start your dance, you need to perform a sequence of arrows and buttons in rhythm with her dance. Not much can be done about it considering the game was originally designed for the Game Boy Color’s small display.The dance transformation mechanic is also different.
You first have to collect baby warp squids and bring them to their mother (there’s one located in each town). It combines the abilities of monkey, elephant, and spider in one).There are also dances for traveling across Sequin Land to specific locations. You can take on the form of a monkey, elephant, spider, and harpy (also tinkerbat in the Game Boy Advance version, which can be purchased in Bandit Town.
But similar to Breath of the Wild, the time of day matters depending on where you are. The time of day will change as you play along, and there’s no real way to track when it will happen, unlike in a game such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This is unique to the first Shantae game and doesn’t appear in any of the sequels. This brings me to the next thing…One thing that stands out to me in this game is the day/night mechanism. If you’re a completionist, there are also 12 fireflies for you to find throughout the game that will allow you to learn the healing dance (and don’t forget to collect all the heart holders).
There is the Gecko Chamber in Oasis Town where you can gamble for gems but is only accessible during the day (pro tip: if you want to farm gems fast, the Gecko Chamber is your best bet, pun intended. Even the towns have some rules of their own: Rottytops’ traveling caravan moves around at random but can only be seen at night. Nighttime is also the only time you can find fireflies, as they will disappear during the day.
If you don’t time your slide or jump just right, you almost certainly will lose the race and have to do it again. This race is notorious among the fandom because there’s little margin for error. When you first encounter Rotty, you have to beat her in a race in exchange for her help. If you want to dance for gems in Scuttle Town, you have to go there at night.Speaking of Rottytops, I have to say I enjoyed her mini-game.
These are all power-ups you can acquire throughout the game. Here’s a clip of the first try, with a Twitter thread of the other tries.Earlier I mentioned items, talismans, and fighter’s gear. Took me seven tries to finally beat it.
I didn’t use these that much, but the tiara’s attack is very handy for finishing off labyrinth bosses quickly. Each piece adds an attack to your arsenal, including a somersault kick and a powerful twirling dash. Then there’s the fighter’s gear, which consists of boot, sash, cuff, and tiara. The talismans you collect during the game allow you to attack while in animal form.I found the harpy form’s attack to be the strongest of the bunch, followed by the elephant. There are also the familiar mainstays of the series for magic attacks: pike balls, fireballs, and storm puffs.
And get lost I did quite a bit, including one time in Spider Forest where I forgot I was in a hidden area before I eventually found my way out. Thankfully the good people at WayForward recognized this and included pictures of Sequin Land and the various labyrinth maps in the Extras when you first start the game.I made it a point to screenshot them on my Switch and went back frequently to them when I got lost. Even though this isn’t the only Shantae game without maps (see Half-Genie Hero), this one is more challenging without a map due to it being a true Metroidvania, whereas Half-Genie Hero was more linear and didn’t have labyrinths the way the other games do.
But I did get a kick out of the sprites. There were occasional bugs where Shantae’s color scheme would change unintendedly but nothing that affected the gameplay. VisualThere isn’t a whole lot to say about the game graphics-wise considering it’s 8-bit.
