Bolo (Shantae)
From The Codex
“ | Shantae, there you are. Look, I know you're just acting weird because of the dark magic inside you. But your Uncle really worried. We're all worried. I know you'd never give up on us, so we won't give up on you! Find your strength and courage! | „ |
~ Bolo to Nega-Shantae |
Background
Bolo is a fighter and a life-long friend of Shantae's. In Shantae, he helped Shantae once by opening the Dribble Fountain for her. In Risky's Revenge, he served as a guide, giving hints to Shantae. In Pirate's Curse, he gets unwillingly involved in misadventures, but he saves the day by unintentionally sabotaging a piece of Ammo Baron's cannon.
Bolo is an NPC for most games, but in Half-Genie Hero, he is playable in the Friends to the End DLC, alongside Sky and Rottytops.
