Old-School, baby!
Complete Hard Core Mode!
As stated in the description, beat hardcore mode for this one

Here come the hard achievements that will take time and dedication to get. I will link video guides and other steam guides to most of them (if i can find them).

Theres 4 Endscreens in every gamemode:
For beating the game
For beating the game with everything collected (100% on the savefile)
For beating the game fast
For beating the game fast with everything collected

The required times for the speedrun endscreens vary between gamemodes. You can check the already elapsed time on the savefile.
Ive also timed my own attempts and put up assumptions on times you need to beat in order to get the speedrun endscreens (if someone reading this has exact times please put them in the comments, i will update the guide then to make it more accurate!)


Half-Genie, all Hero!
Achieve 100% completion as Shantae!


Have everything collected before beating the game. The save file has to show 100%
A few tips if youre stuck at 99%:
Open every door in the gallery and get the magic tiara from Mayor Scuttlebutt
Trade with the Snake saleswoman every alternate dance at least once
Have every food item in the pause menu

Heres a great guide from Demajen who made detailed maps with all the collectibles in the main game:
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1962448555


True Hero!
Obtain all win screens in any Shantae Mode!


For the speedruns i highly suggest to beat the game normaly first. Take notes on how to progress inbetween different levels (for example write down collectible chains to get a certain key item)
For the 100% speedruns you should use the maps from the guide ive listed above.
You can also watch glitchless speedruns to get a feeling for it (you can also play alongside while watching the video for the easiest time)

The times you need to beat are:
3 hours for the regular speedrun
4 hours for the 100% speedrun



The Pirate's Curse
Achieve 100% completion as Risky Boots!
Collect all the Dark Magic as well as all the Djinn Shards

Here are video guides by KitNashGaming for both:
Dark Magic:
https://youtu.be/ApJ_xk8rpKw
Djinn Shards:
https://youtu.be/ksRWSFOy6UE

Risky Revolution
Obtain all win screens in Pirate Queen's Quest.


Same as in the main game, learn the locations or watch a video alongside your playthrough.

Times to beat are:
1 hour 30 minutes for the regular speedrun
2 hours for the 100% speedrun



BFF's
Achieve 100% completion as Sky, Bolo, and Rotty!


In friends to the end you only have to collect 3 dream squids in every large area, you can get them all from the start so you dont have to backtrack. You can also check/select previous levels from the pause menu if youve missed some.

Heres a guide from Christopherweeblingjr which shows all the locations:
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2005809676


True Friends!
Obtain all win screens in Friends to the End.


By now you should have the hang of speedrunning shantae!

Times to beat are:
1 hour 20 minutes for the regular speedrun (Thanks to Legend Ice for the detailed info!)
1 hour 45 for the 100% speedrun (Thanks to khaosklub for the detailed info!)



The costume modes are very similar between each other with their item locations. After playing the game that many times you should know by heart where to look for collectables, ill link guides regardless so dont worry.

You're under arrest!
Achieve 100% completion as an Officer!


The Officer mode differs a bit from Beach and Ninja mode since you have to collect 5 prisoners per area instead of just 3 dream squids.

Heres another guide from Christopherweeblingjr which shows the prisoners locations:
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2293367064


The path of the Ninja
Achieve 100% completion as a Ninja!


Self explanatory, heres another guide from Christopherweeblingjr for the dream squid locations:
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2515032259


Summertime!
Achieve 100% completion in your bathing suit!


Beach mode is probably the worst mode since you need to constantly collect sunscreen bottles or else you lose lifes rapidly as well as your movement speed is slower than usual. I didnt find a guide with pictures so ill link a video:
https://youtu.be/UBDhfuZpG6M


Full wardrobe
Obtain all win screens while playing as Shantae in her Ninja, Beach, and Officer costumes!


Probably the most tedious achievement to get on here. Youll need to get all endscreens for all 3 costume modes. Just like in Friends to the end you can collect all squids and prisoners from the start and you dont need to backtrack. You can check and select levels from the pausemenu as well.

Times to beat are:
Ninja mode:
45 minutes for the regular speedrun
1 hour for the 100% speedrun (thanks to Porculeitor for the detailed info!)

Beach mode:
1 hour for the regular speedrun
1 hour 10 minutes for the 100% speedrun (Thanks to Мурыч and Kazz for the detailed info!)

Officer mode:
50 minutes for the regular speedrun (thanks to Tim for the detailed info!)
1 hour 10 minutes for the 100% speedrun (Thanks to Chullainn for pointing that out)

These are the remaining ones that require some sort of task to get. Ill split them between gamemodes once again for your convenience.


Sick Style!
Beat the game in color-swapped clothing!
Pick the blue color scheme when selecting the main game mode. You dont need to play the entire game with it, beating Risky Boots and escaping after is fine.

Dance through the Danger
Defeat 5 or more enemies with a single Obliterate!
Get the obliberate dance from the Snake saleswoman and use it when there are 5 or more enemies on screen.

Bouncing Around
Defeat 10 enemies as a Blobfish!
Get the blobfish dance from the Snake saleswoman and jump on 10 enemies. It does 10 damage surprisingly so this ones pretty easy.

Betrayal
Defeat Risky Boots while in Tinkerbat Form!
Get the Tinkerbat dance from the Snake saleswoman and defeat Risky Boots with it. Ive tried to deal only the final blows with the Tinkerbat but it didnt seem to work. It did work with doing the entire fight as a Tinkerbat (only dealing damage as one)

If you're gonna cut it...
Land the final strike on any boss with only a sliver of your own health left.
This one can be obtained on any mode as far as i know. Defeat any Boss with only 1/4th heart left.



Keep to the code!
Use your Tinkerbats to defeat 15 renegade Tinkerbats!
Risky can summon her own Tinkerbats to fight for her, use them at the main street to defeat 15 enemy Tinkerbats to get this one.

Give nothin' back!
Complete Pirate Queen's Quest with zero upgrades!
This ones pretty difficult. Youre not allowed to upgrade any of your items with dark magic. Some parts like the dual barons or the final stage can be quite hard since the base items are pretty bad in comparison to their upgraded counterparts. Also keep in mind that you only get 2 hearts total as well so you should stack up on healing items in advance.



Max Power!
Raise all three friends to Max Level!
You level up by collecting gems. Get all 3 friends to lvl 4 to get this easy one.



Patty Ache
Get crushed by a switch block.
Get in front of a switch block, then use the switch force!

Half-Genie no jutsu
Complete a stage without using your sword.
Quite easy as its not a total stage but just one screen. Just run through an easy screen with only your ninja stars. Notice that you arent allowed to swing it whatsoever.

My serve!
Defeat 20 enemies with the Beach Ball.
The beachball is the special attack in Beach mode so you should get this one very easily as well.

Any suggestions are always welcome in the comments, they already helped a lot with pinpointing the times for the speedrun endscreens.
