Overworld (Shantae)

The following is a list of 'overworld' locations in Shantae and a list of various enemies, items and other features found therein. Since most locations are not given names in-game, they are given names based on whatever features distinguish them from other locations.

Since Sequin Land is a ring-shaped continent and the game's overworld comprises a circular loop around this continent, terms like "east" and "west" are useless due to the lack of an in-game map. For this reason "leftward" and "rightward" are used to specify adjacent territories.

Special items found in each area are listed in the Items box and will have the skills and items necessary to obtain them in parenthesis to their right.

Because caves for the most part just link two overworld areas together, they are not given their own location box. Caves containing special items are considered part of the area that lead to them.
