Unused Graphics#
The overall art style (namely the sprite art) is reused from Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, but the character portraits for all select returning characters from Half-Genie Hero were redrawn and (alongside those of new characters made specifically for the game as well as the Squidsmith from Shantae and the Pirate's Curse) don't necessarily reflect the proportions of the in-game sprites anymore, instead having them be mismatched like in Shantae: Risky's Revenge, which had Shantae herself wear a vest in the sprites despite not wearing one in her portrait art until Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.
Several unfinished portraits (including ones of Rottytops, who originally just used finalized portraits of her Fillin persona) were left in the game's data, and were eventually colored in for the release of part 2 of the iOS version in March 2020.

Unused Shops#

|
To do: |
While the game normally only has three shops, five are defined in the shop.ltb file. The two unused shops (Underwater and Haunted) do appear to also have fully set up inventories.
Interestingly, the Bikini Armor is present in the Haunted shop inventory, but only has the item name defined. No description or price appears to be present.

The Backdash available in the previous games is present, complete with an inventory item and description. However, the sound that was previously used in Half-Genie Hero is no longer present, rendering the move silent.

An unused How To Play item that simply brings up a controller overlay when used.
Nuggets#
The image files have several different kinds of Nuggets, including an Electric Nugget, a Fresh Nugget, a Ghost Nugget, and a Sleepy Nugget. Most of these seem to line up with the kind of Fusion Dances that Shantae has in the game. However, only the "generic" Nugget appears in the game, and it's unclear what purposes these other Nuggets would have served.
