Despite not having powers, Shantae forms an alliance with Risky Boots to stop the Pirate Master’s revival.
In Pirate’s Curse, Shantae must now rely on pirate gear to traverse as she has lost her powers. Items include pistols, scimitars, and cannons. Many of these items have multiple uses.

The game was first revealed in the November 2012 issue of Nintendo Power. The Wii U version was revealed just before Nintendo’s E3 2014 presentation through the Nintendo Life online news outlet.
