*** *Friends To The End* features reprises of the *Half Genie Hero* stages from Shantae's point of view, which causes an epic bit of heartwarming, as they look at themselves, only for them to notice something unusual, namely that [[YouDontLookLikeYou Rottytops well,]] '''''[[YouDontLookLikeYou isn't dead]]''''', with them thinking that Shantae somehow knew Rottytops in the past, for Rottytops to clearly be surprised that Shantae ''doesn't'' see her as a zombie.

** When Shantae finds out Rottytops is stowing away in her pillow, despite her shock, she doesn't lash out at her. Instead, she realizes that Rottytops just wanted to help and was probably worried about being left out, and so she lets Rotty stay in the pillowcase.

* Risky Boots and Shantae's interactions, mainly when Risky was pretending to be the mayor, "he" praises Shantae if she goes back to talk to "him", and in the final cutscene, after Risky lays out her plan, and immediately after a dig at her performance on stage, Shantae still gives a happy "Risky, you cared about me!", and Risky is not wrong when she says that her and Shantae working together has made a difference in the world, with the defeat of Empress Siren, although she probably meant it in a more negative difference.

** When Shantae's friends speak to her mind to try to help her break free from the dark magic's control, Rottytops takes the opportunity to finally be honest, admitting that she hasn't always been a good friend and expressing how much she truly appreciates Shantae's friendship, and urges Shantae to remember the kind, compassionate person she is.
* After Shantae is freed from the dark magic and returns to normal, she's determined to go after Risky Boots. Her friends and her uncle all express concern about her doing so after what just happened, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness even Rottytops]], and resolve to help her in any way they can to make sure she's ready for anything Risky could throw at her.

* In "Officer Mode", it turns out Risky's reason for releasing the Space Hooligans was because she held a grudge for her and Shantae's days at the police academy, where the latter constantly beat her at everything. Shantae response? She only became first place because she looked up to Risky and wanted to be just like her. Risky is taken back and apologizes for her actions, and the ending has Shantae about to go to the gym with her so they can properly reconnect.

* During the Cape Crustacean level of Friends To The End, we see Memory!Rottytops...as her human self! The trio realize that this means Shantae doesn't see Rotty as a zombie, but as a normal girl who wants friends. Although Rotty makes a joke about it, she's clearly touched by this.
* The cutscene that plays before Cape Crustacean in the main game also has a moment, albeit a smaller one. When Bolo and Sky gang up on Rottytops to make fun of her, Shantae immediately jumps to her friend's defense, telling the other two to shut up. As minor as it is, when you know how much Rotty actually values Shantae's friendship, even something as small as that likely meant the world to Rottytops, reminding her that Shantae is on her side and meant what she said in Pirate's Curse.

*** Building on this, at the start of ''Friends To The End'', Bolo, Sky and Rottytops couldn't stand each other and were really only working together because they wanted to get Shantae back. However, over the course of the journey, they slowly start to respect each other and become almost as close to each other as they are with Shantae.

* Half-Genie Hero's 'Jammies Mode' is practically built on heartwarming. The premise is that Shantae wants to invite everyone, friend and foe alike, to a sleepover in celebration of her latest adventure. Aside from a disastrous first encounter with Risky Boots, literally ''everyone else'' she invites to the party is on board with the idea immediately.

Despite all their bickering, Sky and Shantae really make for a good team when the chips are down.

** Despite Sky's apathy and Shantae's will of heroism getting in the way of one another, when the chips are down and Shantae activates the Sunken City to rescue her friend, Sky and Bolo team up and manage the reactors to make sure none of them go prompt supercritical and blow the entire island to kingdom come.

* Shantae is understandably peeved at Rottytops' sneaking along for the vacation, posing as a half-genie, and getting herself captured. But when the Ghost Dog warns Shantae against restoring power to the Sunken City in order to save Rotty, her response is immediate: "I don't care if there are seven Sirens or seven hundred! I've got to save Rottytops!"

** Mimic and Sky, despite not wanting Shantae to save the Half-Genies, are only acting the way they are because [[AngerBornOfWorry they are worried about her getting captured too]].
* Once freed, the other Half-Genies all ask about each other, hoping their friends are okay.

** During the conversation with Nega-Shantae, she demands to know how the three of them escaped these gauntlets she created for them. She told them Shantae was defeated and they would never find each other, and is enraged when they still showed up alive and well and demands to know how they found hope when she took it all away. Bolo then just offhandedly mentions he assumed if he fell, Rottytops would make it as she's Shantae's loyal friend. Rottytops then admits she knew Sky wouldn't quit and if she lost herself, Sky would still save Shantae. Sky then follows up with assuming Bolo was too determined to fail, and he would inevitably find Shantae. Sky then proudly exclaims to Nega-Shantae that they found hope by simply believing in each other over the course of their journey, which created a situation in which they couldn't be hopeless.
