While Nega-Shantae herself does not appear, it is her scattered Dark Magic that turns Tinkerbats into Cacklebats, and leads to the Pirate Master's awakening. Shantae is left stunned by this loss, but is comforted by Mimic, Sky and Bolo, who tell her that they'll help her protect Sequin Land, thus ending Risky's Revenge on a cliffhanger.
With Shantae's other half trapped inside the lamp, Risky commands it to destroy Shantae, resulting in the birth of Nega-Shantae which does her bidding.Īfter a long battle, Nega-Shantae is defeated and explodes, thus resulting in Shantae's genie half being completely destroyed, and Shantae being left as a pure human, with her hair being her only weapon. Once the lamp's power is restored, Risky uses the lamp to enslave Shantae although since Shantae is a half-genie, The Magic lamp only captures her genie half, leaving Shantae as a pure human.
In the climax of the game's plot, Shantae is forced to surrender the three Magic Seals to Risky Boots so that she can restore and use the Magic Lamp's power.
