(TV series) Shantae

My idea is what a TV show based on the Shantae franchise video games should look like. It's not exactly a direct adaptation of the game's adventures, it's more the story's environment: Shantae the girl half Genie decides to face the pirate villain, Risky Boots. In the story she has already dominated the city, and she tries to fight against that same domination with the help of her allies: Mimic, Sky, Wrench, Bolo. Usually she will not face the villain but all the antagonists who work for him. The characters will live and hide in a house that is a little far from the city and that is magically protected so only they and their allies can enter it. Shantae's uncle Mimic is going to work in the city, no one will know that he has any connection with her, and in this version the reason why he can copy any machine is because his glasses allow him to see the machine from the inside, that is, it's reverse engineering. He could, for example, copy a radio comm from one of Risky Boots' henchmen to intercept the conversations. Just like in the game Wrench, the SKy bird becomes giant and is used as a means of transport to get out of a place quickly, in this version the bird will be the group's spy, because although he doesn't speak, Sky can understand what he says. In this version Shantae won't do anything with her hair, she and the others fought normally and when necessary she will resort to transforming into a creature that would be useful at the moment (monkey, spider, harpy, mermaid, etc.). And this will be a moment that will receive a lot of focus from the audience's point of view, as if it were Sailor MOon's transformation sequence, she will do the dance that makes her transform, and it will be as if there was always time for her to perform the dance and no one is going to stop her, as it is with Sailor Moon's transformation, where it seems like the scene freezes and only returns to normal when it ends. Since Shantae has several dances in the game, so in the animated series it would always be a different dance rhythm that she does.
* In one episode the Tinkerbats arrive with a strange sword (the characters are seeing everything hidden in the harbor), after they leave with the sword Wrench starts talking to Sky that he thinks he has seen him and insists that this is important. The characters stay in the harbor while the bird tries to remember what was so important about the sword, but then another boat arrives and the Bran-Son (that parody of He-Man that appeared in the game) leaves. And he keeps asking for his sword and demanding to know where it is, the characters talk to him and discover that his sword (which was stolen) summons the power of a magical castle, and they realize that's why the villains took it. Their goal is to use the sword as a power source for a machine.
* In one episode the villains would get a genie from the lamp who is also a villain. They would use it to first make the magic barrier disappear and thus capture the characters, and once they were brought in it would be used to neutralize the Wrench's size-shifting power. Shantae would break free using her power of transformation, and when the villains tried to get rid of her power, the Genie would correct that one Genie can't do anything with another's power. So they would order him to attack Shantae, and he would first attack her with lightning, and Shantae this time would go from one form to the other in a second, and in a short time their fight would be with each one turning into one. thing and attacking each other like that. As long as everyone was distracted by the fight, Bolo would be able to break free and get to the lamp and would wish for Genie to be fully human, Genie would have to obey the wish and when he became a normal guy all he did would be reversed (Wrench would regain its power to grow and the magic barrier would reappear).
