The next Shantae game will have Risky use a 'secret subterranean device' to 'rotate and rearrange' the entire continent.

Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution announced for Game Boy Advance

Publisher Limited Run Games and developer WayForward have announced Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution for Game Boy Advance. The long-lost sequel to the original Shantae is back in development after…

Filling in the gaps between the original Shantae (2002) and Shantae: Risky’s Revenge (2010), Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution sees Shantae protecting Sequin Land from a twisted new plot orchestrated by her nemesis, the pirate Risky Boots. Using a secret subterranean device, Risky is able to rotate and rearrange the continent, plunging it into chaos and giving her more coastal cities to plunder. Fortunately, by harnessing this technology and the knowledge of the Relic Hunters, players will be able to turn the tables on Risky, giving Shantae new paths through environments and a chance to thwart the villain’s scheme.

Using Risky's Boots, Shantae can run with enough speed and force to shatter multiple large stone blocks.

The Techno Baron survives a direct hit from the Ammo Baron's cannon, which is strong enough to create a hole in the ground.

Earlier, Shantae has a large canister bigger than her with Bolo inside (which appears to be made of metal) land on her head (the above video at 0:18).

Using Risky's Sword, Shantae shatters a stone block.

The Pirate Master breaking free of his prison unleashes a huge amount of energy that causes boulders bigger than a person to float into the air, even while he's in a weakened state.

The Tinkerslug (Part Omni-Organic, Partially Titanic, Ocean-Optional Tinkerslug) moves through the sea at incredibly fast speeds.

Holly Lingerbean is a memory of an incredibly vain girl who perished centuries ago (when her town was destroyed in a sandstorm that lasted for centuries).

Spoiler

Wilber is a species of rare chilopoda of titanic size that feeds on neurotransmissions, and Holly plans to use Wilbur to feed on all memories that aren't of her.

Spoiler

Wilbur is unable to devour Shantae's memories, as she is a half-genie (Also as a note, Wilbur is able to devour the memories of everyone in town even from many miles away).

More confirmation that Risky will rotate the entire continent in Risky's Revolution (with a device known as the Tremor Engine). From the sounds of it, this may be a power Shantae is capable of too, as you must "turn the tectonic tables on Risky by rearranging the land itself".

Helmed by the original design team of Shantae creator Erin Bozon, series director Matt Bozon, and programmer Michael Stragey, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is the direct follow-up to the beloved original 2002 Shantae game. In this hair-whipping, belly-dancing action-adventure, Shantae's nemesis, the nefarious pirate Risky Boots, has a "groundbreaking" new scheme that will leave Sequin Land spinning — by rotating the continent, she can move any town to the coast for easy plundering! As Shantae, you must turn the tectonic tables on Risky by rearranging the land itself...shifting, swapping, and moving between the foreground and background to navigate mix-and-match multilayered levels.

Beneath Sequin Land is a massive cavern that spans for miles.

Spoiler

Risky will use the Tremor Engine to access the parts of Sequin Land that are usually landlocked, and will turn the tectonic tables on them.

There will be a Shantae comic, that will come with the Shantae Swimsuit Special (and from what I've heard, there may be a comic series proper after that).

Risky tricks Uncle Mimic into creating the inverter for her, which reverses the polarity of something, and can thus transform something or someone from good to evil (and theoretically vice versa). Risky plans on using the dynamo to corrupt the entire Genie Realm.

Risky Boot's Bomb Shots can destroy large stone blocks.

This is also the case when fired underwater.
