There are four Win Screens for the base game, awarded for doing the following tasks:
-Finish the game
-Finish the game with 100% completion
-Finish the game in less than 4 hours.
-Finish the game in less than 4 hours with 100% completion.
-Note 1: Like Shantae & The Pirate's Curse, you can unlock multiple endings at once, even all four in a single run.
-Note 2: Time DOES NOT PASS when the Menu is open or if you are anywhere in Scuttle Town (this does NOT include the Gallery Museum! Time does pass in there!).
-Note 3: If you do this in Hero Mode, it is MUCH easier as you can get many items earlier than normal, saving you lots of time later.
100% Completion requires you doing all of the following:
-Collect all 12 Transformations (Some are required, some are optional; DLC ones don't count)
-Collect all 12 Heart Holders
-Collect all 10 Gallery Keys
-Get the Magic Tiara from the Mayor (Open all 10 doors in the Gallery then talk to the Mayor)
-Collect the Green Stone and Red Stone
-Purchase all Spells, Upgrades, and Dances from the Scuttle Shop and Tuki Shop (For the trade dances, you only need to have had it in your inventory and used it at least once ever in the playthrough)
-Collect all 9 Relics (Monkey Bullet, Elephant Stomp, Crab Claw, Mouse Bite, Harpy Talon, Bat Sonar, Mermaid Bubble, Spider Venom, and Waterfall Relic)
-Get the Magic Polarizer (Trade for all 4 of Risky's items and deliver them to Uncle Mimic)
-Win the final battle. (This one is the FINAL ONE PERCENT. You need to be at 99% beforehand to hit 100% afterwards.)

----------Walkthrough----------
Note 1: This guide is for Hero Mode (Since you start with the core transformations unlocked: Monkey, Elephant, Crab, Mouse, Harpy)
Note 2: There will still be some backtracking, as there are items that require other items or powers to reach.
Note 3: The Time Checkpoints are only ideas of about how long it should take to get to that point. At the pace shown here, you still have nearly 2 hours to spare for the speedrun time of 4 hours.
