Item Shopkeeper

Item Shopkeeper is a character that debuted in as the shopkeeper. She resembles Mr. Game & Watch, with similar movement. She sells Wario items that can be purchased through Frog Medals. These items can used against bosses to make them weaker and easier to defeat. She was described as a "strange little dude", although she was actually a form of Princess Shokora, as her Black Cat form can be seen going into the Item Shop prior to Wario entering it, implying they are one and the same.

==Appearances==
===Boss Battles===
Item Shopkeeper appears in the Boss Battles mode of Boss Battles, only appearing if the player decides to take on ten or more bosses. She hosts her small item shop in the resting area after the first boss fight, where the player can purchase her help in fighting against the bosses. She has all the options from Wario Land 4 and acts pretty much identically.
=== Jake's Super Smash Bros. ===
The Item Shopkeeper makes a rather prominent appearance in Jake's Super Smash Bros. due to her true form, Princess Shokora, being a playable character. For the princess' taunt and many of her attacks, including her neutral and side special moves, she transforms into her Item Shopkeeper form.

==Trivia==
*When Wario purchases a item when going up against the final boss Golden Diva, the Item Shopkeeper explicitly transforms into the Black Cat to confront the Golden Diva. This is the most solid proof that they are the same being.
