Now that I know about it, I can't help but wonder. About how high the resolution is in the picture of Shantae in a bikini that you get for beating Shantae 2: Risky's Revenge in two hours or less, that is.
This reward for a speedy finish is definitely a reference to the same in Metroid. But in that game, the revelation of Samus stood as more of a shock, since female heroes in video games were unheard of at the time. Unfortunately, such is still the case now.
But, this curious award for gaming skill (and/or memorization) aside, Shantae 2 is a fun game, the three transformations (monkey, elephant,and mermaid) making for some neat exploration.
Taken as a whole though, I wonder who the game was really made for: boys or girls.
