Mario, who isn't an echo: Slower, less mobile, but overall does more damage. She's otherwise basically the same.ĭark Pit: He has some mildly altered specials + side tilt, and a 'new' final smash, but he's exactly the same otherwise.ĭr. Lucina: Her only real big difference from Marth is the balanced damage on her sword. Clone fighters still have a variety of differences from their originals, Echo Fighters have just one or two 'big' differences, and are otherwise the same character. Speaking from my own experiences, Echo Fighters are in another class from simple 'Clone' fighters entirely.

On Fake Smash Balls, the vertical line is thin and the horizontal line is thick.

After trying to take things in and relax with a nice bubble bath, her nemesis, Risky Boots, traps her, because she believes Shantae has robbed her, since her crew and items are now missing! Risky Boots also mentions that her crew has been taken over by Dark Magic.

Soon, the town she lives in is taken over by the Ammo Baron. Basically, Shantae has lost her genie powers and is learning to live as a human.
