Shantae and the Pirate's Curse/Walkthrough

The game is divided into separate islands, each with their own map. Some parts of the islands will not be accessible until certain key items are obtained. At various points in the game, you will need to talk to specific NPCs and collect and deliver items to advance the story. There are many hidden secrets in each map that contain gems or shortcuts to get pass enemies. Save rooms are colored red on maps. When outside of a labyrinth, you can use a Pirate Flare to quickly return to port. There are two main collectibles, Heart Squids and Cacklebats, that are displayed on the island select screen.
