Background

Twitch & Vinegar are villains who appear in Shantae and the Pirate's Curse and Shantae: Half-Genie Hero.

The first time Shantae meets the two girls, they are on vacation on Saliva Island and are upset that there's no water in the pool. Despite this, they set up their picnic (a giant ham), which Shantae uses to open the Giga Lummox's (a giant dragon-like being napping above the pool) mouth to drool spit into the pool. As Twitch and Vinegar show off their "porcelin baby skin" and "cross the beams" they are able to help Shantae progress further by giving her the Petrify spell.

Later in the game, after they finish their vacation, Shantae learns that they work for the Ammo Baron, and finds them fangirl-ing on Bran-Son near Sequin Land Palace. After Shantae gives Bran-Son his enchanted blade so that he can transform, the girls run back to Ammo Baron in Scuttle Town, intent on revealing Bran-Son's secret identity to his archnemesis. Later, as Bolo has inadvertently sabotaged the Baron's cannon in Scuttle Town, the girls are unable to direct the cannon to face the Palace and shoot a large hole into Frostbite Island instead, revealing a hidden dungeon.

Twitch & Vinegar's last appearances are in a cutscene during Shantae's battle with The Pirate Master's true form in which they help Shantae, under command by Risky Boots, by firing cannonballs at the Pirate Master's head to finish him off and save Sequin Land. Afterwards, during the good ending, Shantae runs Ammo Baron and his army out of town.

Twitch & Vinegar return in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, still working for the Ammo Baron. This time, however, they are now named in-game. They give Shantae a quest to get them some Gator Steaks in exchange for a race ticket. Shantae later finds out they have been stealing magic carpets under orders of the Ammo Baron, and Twitch & Vinegar fight Shantae in their air assault vehicles as the Cape Crustacean mid boss. They are later seen again carrying away Ammo Baron after his defeat.

In the Officer Mode DLC, Twitch and Vinegar can be found dressed in Space Hooligan attire in each level, and need to be arrested for 100% completion.
