Side special 	Elephant Charge / Monkey Bullet	Shantae transforms into a bulky elephant and performs a charging attack forward. It has a short range, but deals heavy knockback and damage. If used in the air, she turns into a monkey to do a dashing attack surrounded by a shield aura, which has more range than the elephant and is faster, but deals less damage and minimal knockback. If her Up taunt command is used (↓ → or ↓ ←), you get temporarily free control of her Elephant / Monkey form.

Down special 	Spider Venom 	Shantae transforms into a mythical Arachne and spits acid venom to the ground, acting as a slip trap that deals poison damage, staying here for 10 seconds. The acid can also hit them. If her Up taunt command is used (↓ + A), you get temporarily free control of this form, allowing her to climb on background walls in some stages by holding up. She is a bit close to being slow as her Elephant form, but is the only transformation that makes her crouch. 	
Command Input 	Mermaid Shantae 	Shantae transforms into a mermaid. In the form, she can swim at a indefinite amount of time and using Mermaid Bubble to shoot bubbles by pressing B, which deals heavy damage to metal opponents. Unsuprisingly, she is completely useless on the ground, as she can't move and makes extremely low jumps using her tail.

She can use a cutlass to swing it in a wide arc by pressing A, attacking her opponent below and above. The main drawbacks is that it has a short time of 6 seconds and very low defense, even lower than her Monkey form. The command input for her Up taunt is ↑ ↓ ← →. 	8% (acid venom), 2.2% (trip)
Command Input 2 	Blobfish 	Shantae transforms into a blobfish, which continously bouncing around as she moves, even in idle. The bouncing deals damage, but making one wrong move makes her damage herself instead, so it is no recommend to use this. The command input for her Up taunt is → ↓ ↘. 	10%
Final Smash 	Fusion Magic 	Shantae holds the Magic Lamp over her head as a vaccuum begans to suck up towards opponents. If done, the opponent will be trapped as Shantae began to attack it by using her Fusion Magic Quake Dance, unleashing a massive earthquake that makes a gigantic firewave rising from the ground before the Magic Lamp shoots the out. 	45%
