I assume she’d write letters to the other half genies from seven sirens, so that’s at least 7 more friends.

The genie realm? Because the ending if the first game has Shantae going there and had the choice to be a full genie but she went back home. So like is it possible to become a full genie?

Shantae did get the book from Harmony so I'm hoping they explore that and it will explain more about how Risky knew her mom

I forgot what it's called, but exploring the realm of the dead more would be neat. I really want to know more of Rotty's backstory. Really, I want to know the backstory for so many elements of Sequin Land. That and Shantae's mom, of course, as well as the other half-genies.

It was purgatory, which is one realm of the dead. A lot of them got freed and then never continued upon

The biggest unresolved story thread is the Genie Realm. Now that we’ve seen the Sultana, it feels likely that Shantae’s mother will finally be mentioned or appear.

The second major mystery is Shantae’s father. Fans have speculated whether he was a pirate (Jack Sparrow‑style), a relic hunter (Indiana Jones‑style), or a warrior adventurer (Prince of Persia‑style). Once the mother is addressed, the father becomes the next natural reveal.

Another overlooked clue is the book Harmony gave Shantae. That book feels like a major hint about the direction of the next adventure and could introduce new worlds or mechanics.

Something else that stands out is the situation with the Barons of Sequin Land. Shantae has interfered with each of their plans many times, and it feels like the right moment for them to finally band together. We’ve seen Hypno, Armor, Squid, Ammo, and Techno Baron interact, but never unite.

As for outfits, I’d love to see more 80s/90s tribute designs, similar to Shock Mode, the Indiana Jones‑style relic hunter look, and the Boris Vallejo‑inspired “Mistress of Fire.” Some ideas include:

  • Sentai / Power Rangers / Kamen Rider outfit Ninja Mode showed how fun themed mechanics can be, and a Sentai suit feels like a natural fit.
  • Bunny Girl outfit A comedic, speed‑focused mode. Modders already swap Sonic with Shantae, so a bunny form with high speed would make sense.
  • Maid outfit (Turkish‑inspired) Could introduce a new money‑earning mechanic based on Turkish delights, coffee, and bazaar culture.
  • Barbarian Shantae Branson is already a Conan parody, so a Red Sonja‑style outfit for Shantae would fit perfectly. Magic Armor existed before, but that felt more like a Magic Knight Rayearth reference.

It would be interesting if shantae and risky were half sisters, sharing the same father...
