[TAS] GBC Shantae by arandomgameTASer in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/5040M
TAS originally published on 2022-12-31
Shantae is an obscure Game Boy Color game released over a year after the Game Boy Advance came out. Because of this, it was released in extremely small quantities. It is notable for its impressive animation and scope.
In this run, watch as arandomgameTASer ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/a... ) improves over the previous run ( tasvideos.org/2685M ) by 09:11.13 thanks to new glitches and better optimization.

WayForward: *Doesn’t do anything significant for Shantae’s 20th anniversary*
ShanTAS: *Saves Scuttle Town in under an hour AND in time for the New Year*

I'd forgotten how good this game looked and sounded for a GBC game. It's impressive.

[@szymon6207]

New year 2023

[@HylianWindRider]

One of the last GBC games ever made

[@kieranstark7213]

But also the first game of an iconic franchise because Shantae be lookin THICC

[@HylianWindRider]

@@kieranstark7213 Yep it did kick off a good franchise with some visual appeal.

[@mrwillard95]

for a gbc game this looks really good!

[@KirbyGamerEX27]

37:37 a clutch moment dude..

[@deathblowringo4168]

Shantae will be always the best WayForward character.

[@TrueAgentZeroVT]

The master Gem of the GBC

20:09 That scorpion lady knew about a meme coming up in the future... but she went the wrong side

[@SeltonXD120st]

Shantae always my favorite character!

[@monster25man]

if there's one game that needs a remake badly
it's this one
this game has so many great concepts but is held back by the limited hardware of the GBC
the game needs more screen size and more buttons to work with
I wanna love this game to the fullest but it needs to reach it's full potential
that said tho, TASes of this game are fun to watch

[@HylianWindRider]

A DS or 3ds remake of this game would have been nice.

[@Wr41thgu4rd]

@@HylianWindRider Isn't there a sequel on the ds?

[@HylianWindRider]

@@Wr41thgu4rd Yes, Risky's Revenge

[@lazystudio5392]

Happy new year

[@shadowmaker8402]

That girl with the bird in the desert town has a really cool and good animation for a gbc game wow

[@filevans]

Nice capture

[@GlitchAGES]

Cause I can run through the danger!

[@Robbie1219lel]

Wait I played this game on switch it was very awesome & I love shantae

[@szymon6207]

Do you have extra lives ?

[@pikaplayer2870]

Shantae literally kicked Risky Boots ass at the end XD

[@DMMDestroyer]

0.5x speed during dialog to read the story if you've never played the game before. A lot of effort was put into this last GBC game.

[@jennasloan396]

You'd think this game would've gotten a remake by now

[@joaquintorres572]

Good game

i expect a non-TAS run to last less than 1 hour

[@elluciano5808]

A great franchise abandoned by its company...

[@Tinaphromad]

The last game was made 2 years ago and it was great wdym?

[@elluciano5808]

@@Tinaphromad i didn't say it was bad. I just said that its been years since WF made a new game.

[@Tinaphromad]

@@elluciano5808 there's always a gap between games. Well probably get the next one in 2023-2024.

[@Zonefire15]

Patience is key

[@omgman5745]

Why do you put cute anime women in other intros that don't fit the game but when you have a game that it would make sense to have a certain cute anime girl in it you use a pokemon that resembles a women?

[@Spikechive]

Because you're asking me. I only cycle two characters in a year.
Gardevoir always shows up when it's a Game Boy TAS.

[@omgman5745]

@@Spikechive just weird how you sometimes put characters from games in a Speedrun for a different game.

[@Spikechive]

@@omgman5745 Again. I cycle between two. I'm not despoa who cycles between Vtubers.

[@HylianWindRider]

@@Spikechive You make some good points.
