Nov 29, 2017  For Shantae on the Game Boy Color, FAQ/Walkthrough by DEngel. About This Game By popular demand, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut is now available on Steam for Windows PC! This brand new version combines all of the award-winning content from previous releases – and adds even more!

Product Information. WayForward Technologies introduces a brand new character in a game that mixes classic platforming action with puzzle solving, rhythm and dance, and a variety of mini games. As the title character and heroine of the adventure, gamers become a multi-talented belly dancing genie who can use her moves to transform into different creatures, including a deadly spider, an agile monkey, a powerful elephant, or even a scary harpy. The talented genie can also fend off enemies with a flick of her long ponytail.

Cute but tough, little Shantae searches for the pirate Risky Boots, who has stolen important plans that may be put to evil use if not recovered.Originally conceived as a SNES title, a long and involved development has fashioned a game designed to squeeze big production value out of the little Game Boy Color. Bright colors, sophisticated lighting and transparency effects, and multi-plane scrolling give a sense of depth to the 2D presentation.

Like other cartridges created for the hardy Game Boy Color, this game is also compatible with the Game Boy Advance, and Shantae includes special programming designed for better, clearer display on the 32-bit handheld. The GBC game also includes a special area and other extras which are only accessible when it's played on the GBA. Shantae's First Adventure!Shantae is a half-genie girl in charge of guarding the small seaside town, Scuttle Town.

One day pirates attack, and the vile Risky Boots steals a prototype steam engine. What's worse is Risky plans to find 4 magical relics to power up the engine into a mighty weapon! Shantae will visit towns, and search labyrinths in her quest to stop Risky. Shantae's main weapon is her hair, which she can whip at enemies to collect gems and hearts for energy(that they drop). Shantae can find other tools at item shops, save the game, and learn info in the different towns.

Shantae will also learn magical dances to change into different animals needed to complete tasks, and to warp to the various towns. Never heard of Shantae? You're not alone. It came out near the end of the Game Boy Color's run w hen everyone was moving on to the Game Boy Advance. It wasn't out for long, and became a sleeper hit. I didn't get into Shantae until the 2nd game Shantae: Risky's Revenge.

It's fun to see how the series got started, but when attacking it's easy to take too many cheap hits. Graphics are very colorful and have fun animations, sound has nice tunes, and control is good.Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned.

Worth Every CentNow, if you cannot afford the original game, whether it be just the game or complete in box, you can buy it for next to nothing on the Nintendo eShop. Even if that was not the case, the game would be worth every cent buying an original copy. This game is amazing, with graphics and sound that could easily be mistaken as being on the Game Boy Advance. The story and the gameplay is amazing and never become stale. If you have not played this game yet, just find a way, because it is amazing! (:Verified purchase: No. Shantae: A GBC Swan SongWritten by NY Gamer (brother to Skygrinder, Thanks again for the buy!) I've heard alot about this game from various sources (GoNintendo.Com, Reviews, Etc.) and while I was a bit skeptical on how a GBC game grabbed all of this praise.

I dove in to pick up a copy.While the price on ebay may throw some people off (I mean, the game can climb up to a C-Note! Ihra drag racing 2 cheat codes. I was even thrown from this!!!) I did get a nice deal on it and I'm glad I went ahead with buying this game!Well, onto the meat and potatoes:Gameplay: 10/10 About 16 hours first time, Following Plays about 10 hours. Overworld, 5 towns, 3 money making minigames, 4 Dungeons, Final Area.

The game is a platformer and can be an unforgiving one at that with health dropped sparingly from enemies and 1ups allocated to dungeons.) The overwor ld takes place in 2 different times (Daytime - Enemies are Normal & Nighttime - Enemies have double health and I may be mistaken, but deal double damage as well.) Shantae starts out with 3 Hearts and Her Pony-tail attack. As the story progresses, she picks up 4 transformations (only the elephant can attack though) but fully Powered up, Shantae can collect 7 heart containers for a max of 10 hearts, can collect the 4 fighter items for additional attacks (you'll need alot of gems though) and 4 talismans to enable attacks for her animal forms (all optional pick ups as you can run the entire game w/ just her pony-tail.)Difficulty: 8/10 unless you rescale dungeons for additional 1ups. Your Pony-tail can only reach so far so you have to step up and get in close for connections. Bosses can be hard if you don't know what to expect or their weak spots.Graphics: 10/10 For a GBC game, this feels a bit more like a GBA game, just kicked down. Sprites are very fluid in animation and detailed greatly! This pushed the GBC to it's limits (you may see some slow down in the 3rd dungeon.)Music: 9/10 14+ Tracks. Each tune has a nice feel to it and fits in with the game.

You may pull a favorite track from this game.Overall = 10/10 For the GBC's Swan Song (just some really bad timing on Wayforward's part since their game was pushed back) this game is a very, VERY great game to own a hard copy of. If you wish to though, Pick up a DSi and just wait until Shantae's next quest hits before the year's end. ExpensiveThe game is beautiful and has alot of Colorful visuals and was considered those rare overlooked games that no one has heard of.The reason why the game is expensive as of now is because the amount of copies are limimted between 20,000 - 25,000.
