Can You Beat Shantae and the Pirates Curse WITHOUT Using the Hair Whip?

[@AstralKat]

Thanks so much for watching everyone! What challenge run would you like to see next?

[@dacknostrum]

Loved the challenge run, but the sword is pronounced sim-a-tar.

[@AstralKat]

@dacknostrum not where Im from

[@dacknostrum]

@@AstralKat oh, ok, still a good run.

[@angeldoyle859]

I see the title and am IMMEDIATELY terrified

[@Wagungus2]

Ok this is my favorite challenge run youve ever done. I love how many really niche things or exploits you use to get around how impractical this is for the first like two thirds of the game. My jaw actually dropped when you revealed that you went that far out of your way for the POWER KICK just to keep this as legit is possible. Also you are a far stronger person than I for getting through Dagron and the last 2 phases of PM with nothing but the pistol/Kick respectively. Absolutely loved the vid and cant wait to see more!

It’s about time we got a challenge video focusing on the Shantae games. I’m surprised no one else has made one yet.

[@GeoSage1137]

Never played this game, but still watched the entire video. Seems like a fun challenge. Great job!

[@theamateurgamer7745]

This was a good watch, but to note, Super Shantae NAB does not exist on any version outside of the Switch and 3DS ones.

[@AstralKat]

Good thing this was done on the switch edition then!

[@dogryme6]

You must've had incredible patience to get through all that. Good job on beating all those bosses and surviving those levels! The only other thing I can say though is that Scimitar kept getting mispronounced. It's not a "skim-tar", it's a "Sim-eh-tar". That's all, though.

[@AstralKat]

This'll be talked about more in the Season 2 wrap up video (It'll be posted once all 15 eps of season 2 are out) but this took me well over a month just because of the three bosses and grinding Super Shantae Nab

[@dogryme6]

@@AstralKat Over a month! That's a TON of patience!

[@ProfessM]

I watched my cat kick his fav toy while enjoying this vid. He's all set for the final fight too.

[@perihelion1225]

This is great! And I found a new channel to binge! Happy new year!

[@AstralKat]

Happy New Year!

DO YOU EVEN WHIP? No! I don't! - Shantae: The Half Genie Hero Awesome vid

[@SuperJogador]

Basically this is how we would play the game if the Ammo Baron cut Shantae's hair. Nice video, I never thought I would see the power kick come in handy on some occasion kkkkk

[@PillowWillow007]

Yay, one of my favourite series!

[@DrRank]

Good to see a fellow Aussie challenge runner

[@SplatastictheRealOne]

kinda knew in my head before watching the video that you could beat pirates curse with items only (super pike ball) or with the pistol and pirate abilities (scimitar descend) without the iconic hairwip, just takes longer, still good video either way and interesting challenge that is encouraged to try.

[@Майрук]

Oh waiter!!! More Shantae challenge runs please!!!!

[@AstralKat]

@Майрук I'll most likely have another planned for next season! I initially tried this run in seven sirens but thought PC might be more fun. Ill go back to SS for a re-run at a later date

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

Whenever I play a game with a character creator, I always create Shantae. My favorites are Soul Calibur 6 (where I also created Risky) and Hogwarts Legacy (Shantae's bravery and the house's color scheme obviously makes her a Gryffindor).

[@leo24aqua]

Love your videos (especially the p5r intro) and awesome to see Shantae! Ret-2-go!

[@JaneyUwU]

Great Video💖 can't wait for the next Shantae game lol

[@Streetcleanergaming]

That pronunciation of scimitar hurt me physically but otherwise very impressive

[@AstralKat]

@@Streetcleanergaming Just the way Ive always heard its pronounced where I live

[@angeldoyle859]

This is one of my favorite challenge runs that you've done! There are so many twists and turns right up to the final fight and you do a flawless job carrying us through this occasionally agonizing journey with your commentary but this is what challenge runs are all about for me, experiencing parts of the game in a completely different light. The moment you brought up playing the shitty arcade game to buy the *Power kick* and realizing that's how you have to kill the pirate master, I knew this was going to be one hell of a ride! amazing job!

[@Liviuswildcard]

One question how do you get more gems on pc playstation or other platforms ? super shantae nab isnt on those platforms

[@AstralKat]

@Liviuswildcard The run is only possible on 3DS or Switch as theres no way to get 400 gems without using the hair whip

[@Oakley_2984]

please do you kai watch 2 next!

[@AstralKat]

I did make a public announcement a few months ago that YKW2 was far too easy and wasnt different enough from the YKW1 run I did for me to make a decent video on it, though I am still considering doing YKW3 at some point in the future

[@Anonymous01234]

Wait, how do you get the arcade?

[@AstralKat]

@@Anonymous01234 its on the switch/3ds versions only

[@Anonymous01234]

​@@AstralKatBruh, I played on Xbox. There should be a video on version differences since Nintendo is like this.

[@AstralKat]

@@Anonymous01234 it says so on the shantae wiki. This run is only possible on the 3ds or switch versions because of the arcade. Which I didnt even learn till after making the video

[@Anonymous01234]

​@@AstralKatI know the wiki. But honestly, I just like playing the games. Either way, this is a great video.

[@Bradorks]

I wanna play through the games myself first before watching other people play. Buuut a little voice in the back of my head spoke up when I saw this video on my for you page and it asked: Can you beat Shantae *without her pants*

[@skarloeyisyoung]

Can you beat Shantae bald basically lol

[@supershadowevil]

pirate mode is a thing

[@AstralKat]

@@supershadowevil im aware. Its more fun and challenging on normal mode though

[@Thecoolguy643]

i dont know. can you?
