Shantae (シャンティ, Shantae) is the main protagonist of the Shantae series.

Origin

Shantae serves as the Guardian Genie of Scuttle Town, residing in a small lighthouse by the sea where she can spot incoming ships. However, she is initially afraid of the citizens discovering her Half-Genie status. In the original Shantae, she chases the villainous Risky Boots, in order to stop her plans.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Upon downloading the costume, the song Burning Town is unlocked as an additional music track in the "Other" category.

Rool and an army of Mr. Game & Watches, in reference to her arch nemesis Risky Boots and the Tinkerbats. She is then shown taunting, disappearing in the smoke from a Smoke Ball, and then coming out of the smoke wearing the Monkey Mii outfit, based on her home series's dance transformation mechanics and specifically the monkey transformation.
