Story[edit | edit source]
Following the events of Shantae: Risky"s Revenge, in which the half-genie girl Shantae was forced to defeat the embodiment of her own powers, Shantae has been adjusting to a life without genie powers. However, one day, Shantae is approached by her old nemesis, Risky Boots, who informs her that the Pirate Master, a powerful evil tyrant who was sealed away long ago by the genies of Sequin Land, was preparing to return and spell doom for all of Sequin Land. Despite not having her powers, Shantae strikes up a reluctant alliance with Risky to thwart the Pirate Master"s revival.
