Please tell me she still dances

Seriously please tell me that later in the game you get the dance button back.
I dont care if it even does anything i just want to be able to push a button have the music change and shantae dance =(.

Well, Shantae does dance depending which animation gets up when you use your lamp to suck up things and another thing, at the end of the game during the final fight at the giant Pirate Master fight, during the third form after a little cutscene she does dance while holding the lamp button but it serves no real purpose and you're still fighting the boss while having that option but the animation for the actual dancing animation is still there.

that makes me very sad. Then again i was kinda sad when they removed the freeform dancing that was in the gameboy game.
that was great

They'll be bringing the dancing and the transformations back in Half-Genie Hero.

Well yeah but they could still have just had a dedicated dance button in this game.
I dont think anyone would have cared if all it did was just make her dance a little.

Any other game and complaining about the lack of a dedicated dance button would be insane, but I can definitely see your point! (I never played the older games but I get that that was a big part of them.)

Well riskys revenge had some simplified dancing where you just picked the dance you wanted.
The original gba had both the best and the worst system. In that one pressing select would make the music change and shantae would start to bop around, the. Pushing any of the other buttons would make her do a dance move.
The idea was to chain the moves together to create the dances to teleport or transform. The timing had to be very precise so it could get hard. However. It was insanely awsome that you could just make her freestyle dance anytime/anywhere just for funsies ^^

Yeah, there was a lot of cool stuff about the old game that I kind of miss. I still can't believe neither RR or PC brought back the flip kick or the diagnal drop kick.

What I miss the most was the Harpy dance though. That same dance turns you into a mermaid in RR, which is kind of cool, but the harpy was the best! The talons did soooo much damage that once you got used to the awkward drifting walk and the flight system, there was no point in playing as a human. Personally, I thought she was pretty cute as a harpy too.

I think Wayforward knew their fans would be saddened by the lack of dancing, so that's why they added the princess escape level to make it up to them.
