** Techno Baron has never been invited to anything before and is uncertain about fitting in, so Shantae says he can bring a friend. He does - [[BaitAndSwitch not the Giga-Mermaid]], but his Techno Granny.
** Holly ''wants'' to come to the party, but decides to check her schedule to make sure she doesn't say she'll be there and then finds out she can't make it.
** Ammo Baron hears that there's going to be pillow fights and is immediately so pumped up he decides to give the entire Ammonian army drills.
** Hypno Baron is ''also'' surprised to be invited, but makes no objection. Squid Baron wants there to be chips and dip, and when Shantae says she'll do a grocery run on her way home, he assures her he'll bring his own supply.
** Not wanting to make the Tinkerbats feel left out, Shantae amends Risky's invitation to say "and guests".

* 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.
** When Shantae extends her invitation to Risky a second time, the pirate refuses, saying she'd rather spend the night alone, on her ship. Shantae misinterprets, and promptly decides to bring the party to Risky by hosting it there instead. Risky's naturally frustrated, but at the very end of the game, she actually shows up at Shantae's lighthouse and leads everyone off to her ship. D'awww~!

* Risky gets a few more moments like this in ''Pirate's Curse'', too:
** When she confronts Shantae about her missing Tinkerbats, she fusses over the one stuck in Mimic's workshop like a frantic mother.
** If you chat with her on Spiderweb Island, but refuse to get on board the ship, she says, "Find the next den of evil. I'm counting on you." This is only the second island she and Shantae have found together, and she's ''already'' stopped regarding her arch-nemesis as a mere annoyance.
** For most of the game, she's adamant about staying with her ship, but actually goes looking for Shantae on Tan Line Island when she thinks the half-genie is taking too long. Later, she helps Sky and Rottytops get back home after the outfit incident in the temple (albeit off-screen), and goes out of her way to reassure Shantae that they're all right.

** The first time Abner and Shantae meet in ''Risky's Revenge'', Abner's very dismissive and rude, and Shantae doesn't trust him in the slightest. Then the aforementioned quest in ''Pirate's Curse'' happens, and by ''Half-Genie Hero'', they have a much more sibling-like relationship. It's very sweet to see.
