Risky Boots (Galactic Battle)

Risky Boots (危険なブーツ, Risky Boots) is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Galactic Battle. 
In the Shantae series, Risky Boots is the pirate archnemesis and rival of Shantae, although the two have worked together on several occasions. Risky Boots often considers herself the Queen of the Seven Seas and spends time treasure hunting and terrorizing Scuttle Town with attacks that Shantae puts a stop to.
Much like Shantae, Risky Boots is voiced once again by Cristina Vee, her voice actress from the Shantae games who reprises the role with new voice clips. 
==How to Unlock==
*Complete Home-Run Contest with 10 fighters, including Shantae.
*Complete Classic Mode with both King K. Rool and Captain Syrup.
*Get her to join your party in The Galactic Battle.
With the exception of the final task, completing one of the above will lead to Risky Boots challenging the player to a battle on Scuttle Town. Defeating her will unlock her for regular gameplay.

Up Special 	Cannon Fodder 	Risky places herself in her cannon, and shoots herself towards the nearest opponent.

Final Smash 	Tinkertub Attack	A cinematic scene plays where the stage suddenly becomes flooded with water. Shortly after this occurs, Risky's Ship appears on the stage. Risky then begins shooting out cannonballs from the ship's cannons, hitting all opponents automatically while laughing intensely. After 7 seconds, Risky hops back onto the stage, while the water and the ship disappear.

==Role in The Elemental Labyrinth==
Risky Boots was among the many fighters that appeared during Master Hand and Crazy Hand's ceremony congratulating the fighters on another successful tournament. During the attack on the coliseum by Hearth, Risky was one of the witnesses who saw Master Hand attempt to attack Hearth, only to be frozen by Floe. Upon the battle of the six deities, Risky Boots is seen helping Shantae attempt an attack until Balder is seen giving her a nod, to which Risky decides to place Shantae into a cannon, and finally launch her into the path of Hearth's fire, vaporizing her instantly. Shortly afterward, Risky willingly lets herself be vaporized by Pura's water attack and falls under her control in the Water Realm alongside both King K. Rool and Captain Syrup. 
==Role in Classic Mode==
Risky Boots will appear as an opponent in the 3DS, Wii U, Ultimate, and Galactic Battle styles of Classic Mode. She can also appear as a random ally in all of the other variations of Classic Mode.
===Seafaring Smash===
Risky Boots' Ultimate style Classic Mode is named, Seafaring Smash, and features Giga Mermaid as the final boss. Risky Boots' opponents are all characters that have something to do with the sea, with the exception of her rival Shantae, who is the first battle in the route. All stages are near water or placed on Water-based stages. The battle with King K. Rool and Captain Syrup is a free-for-all, while Daisy's fight uses Daisy Cruiser as the music on Big Blue. Finally, both Akari and Ricky use their Wave Race designs for the 5th Round.

==Fighter Spirits==
Risky Boots' Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Risky Boots in The Galactic Battle allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Galactic Battle.

==Trivia==
*Risky Boots is the first villain in the Super Smash Bros. Series to share her voice actress with the protagonist of the series she represents, being Cristina Vee, who also voices Shantae in Galactic Battle.
**Although Mario and Wario are also notable for this trait, Wario is considered more of an anti-hero rather than a villain since the debut of the Wario Land series.
*Risky Boots fights Daisy in her Classic Mode Route. This is notable for several reasons;
**Daisy notably owns the Daisy Cruiser within the Super Mario Series, which has served as both a racetrack in both Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart 7, as well as being a playable stadium in Mario Super Sluggers.
**Furthermore, Daisy also served as the Puppet Fighter for Risky Boots' spirit in World of Light in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
