The '''Shake King''' is a [[List of characters|character]] in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' He is an evil pirate captain and the main antagonist of the game. His design parallels that of [[Wario]]'s, with a similar rotund build, muscular arms, and stubby legs, along with a blue tint ringing his eyes. The Shake King has a distinctive spiky blonde beard, as well as hair on his arms; his eyes are black, with his pupils depicted as reddish-orange in official artwork and shown as yellow in game.


The '''Shake King''' is a pirate first appearing in the game ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. The Shake King and his pirate gang, comprised of many [[Bandinero]]s, attempted to take over the [[Shake Dimension]]. In order to do so, they attacked the Shake Dimension and imprisoned its ruler, [[Queen Merelda]], and her loyal subjects (the [[Merfle]]s), on their ship. The greedy pirates stole the Shake Dimension's treasure as well (known as the [[Bottomless Coin Sack]], which could spit out an endless amount of coins every time it was shaken). However, one Merfle managed to escape from the pirate ship and got into [[Wario]]'s world, to seek help in liberating the Shake Dimension from the Shake King's rule (which Wario agrees toward, but mainly for the Bottomless Coin Sack itself). If Wario collected all of the Boss icons, Wario could locate the Shake King's ship where the final confrontation awaits against the Shake King himself.

During the events of the game, the Shake King and his pirate gang, of many [[Bandinero]]s, attempted to take over the [[Shake Dimension]]. In order to do so, they attacked the Shake Dimension, tied up its ruler, [[Queen Merelda]], and imprisoned her loyal subjects (the [[Merfle]]s), on their ship. The pirates stole the Shake Dimension's treasure, the [[Bottomless Coin Sack]], as well, which has the ability to spit out an endless amount of coins every time it is shaken. However, one Merfle managed to escape from the pirate ship and get into [[Wario]]'s world, to seek help in liberating the Shake Dimension from the Shake King's rule. If Wario collects all of the Boss Emblems, Wario can locate the Shake King in his ship to confront him.

==Wario's Battle with the Shake King==
{{spoiler}}
When [[Wario]] manages to obtain five boss emblems and gains access to the Shake King's ship, the final battle is split into three parts, as follows:


===Stage One===
====Battle====
Wario must jump on the Shake King when he uses his charge attack (very similar to Wario's) to make him crash into a wall. Next, he must use a charge attack on his bottom repeatedly until he falls out of the wall, stunned. After he does that, Wario should throw him into any wall, doing a large amount of damage. However, the player may choose to shake the boss before throwing him to cause damage, as this produces large amounts of coins. When the Shake King is charging any attack (other than the charge), Wario can use an Earthshake Punch to cancel the attack. If Wario does an Earthshake Punch when the Shake King does, his own punch has the possibility of countering it and granting a chance to attack.
When [[Wario]] manages to obtain five boss emblems and gains access to [[VS the Shake King]], the final battle is split into three parts, as follows:


===Stage Two===
=====First phase=====
[[Image:Purse.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork of the '''Shake King''']]
[[File:Shake King Fight1.png|left|200px|thumb|Wario fighting the Shake King.]]
Wario should repeat the same process as stage one, except now when the Shake King uses the charge, Wario will need to jump on him two times. However, the Shake King uses a new attack where he leaps into the air and hovers side to side until directly above Wario, and then uses a powerful Ground Pound. This also cause shock waves horizontally, so Wario must dodge these as well as the initial impact. Another difference in this stage of the battle is that while the Shake King previously threw a giant Bandinero as a form of attack, he now throws a giant [[Bumbleprod]], which must be completely avoided is it cannot be touched.

=====Third phase=====
The Shake King uses powerful magic which he did not use in the previous stages of the battle, involving many electrical attacks. In order to dodge the the thunderbolts he creates, Wario must stand in between them and move slightly to dodge the second wave which has a slightly different alignment. For the balls of electrical energy that he fires, Wario can just dodge them like a flying enemy. As for the large lightning bolts after the charge attack, he should dash under the Shake King while the lightning is temporarily stopped to charge up for a large blast. For the third blast, Wario should stand in close to avoid being shot by an energy ball.

==Trivia==
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
*His name is an obvious pun on the word "shaking". This is fitting to what he does; shake Wario.
The Shake King appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a Novice-class Grab-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}}. Equipping the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] boosts the user's throw power. In the spirit's battle, the player faces [[King K. Rool]] on the {{iw|smashwiki|Pirate Ship}} stage with earthquakes occurring periodically. Here, King K. Rool predominantly uses grab and throw moves in reference to the grab and throw mechanic from the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' series. The core obtained from Shake King's spirit can be used with a [[Bob-omb]]'s core to summon the [[King Bob-omb]] spirit.
*The Shake King bears a slight resemblance to [[Booster]].
*He resembles a [[Wikipedia:Viking|Viking]]. It's possible that his name is a pun on that word.
*It is interesting to note that he has the same tint of blue around the outside of his eyes like Wario. By the same token, his artwork shows him with orange eyes, but in-game, his eyes are yellow.
*The Shake King seems to have a romantic interest in Queen Merelda, but Merelda is not interested in the Shake King. This is similar to the scenarios involving [[Bowser]] and [[Peach]] in the main Mario series installments.
*The Shake King can use his own variation of each of Wario's standard moves. His versions are all slightly slower and have more power.
*In the second part of the fight, the background shows a, what seems to be, incomplete replica of the Shake King and three [[Bandinero]]s. This has lead some people to believe that the Shake King and the Bandinero group are robots. This is further supported by the explosion that occurred after the Shake King's defeat.
* His shoes and general body structure resemble Wario's; However, his legs are longer.

History[edit]

Wario Land: Shake It![edit]

The Shake King holds the Bottomless Coin Sack in Wario Land: Shake It!
The Shake King holds the Bottomless Coin Sack

During the events of the game, the Shake King and his pirate gang, of many Bandineros, attempted to take over the Shake Dimension. In order to do so, they attacked the Shake Dimension, tied up its ruler, Queen Merelda, and imprisoned her loyal subjects (the Merfles), on their ship. The pirates stole the Shake Dimension's treasure, the Bottomless Coin Sack, as well, which has the ability to spit out an endless amount of coins every time it is shaken. However, one Merfle managed to escape from the pirate ship and get into Wario's world, to seek help in liberating the Shake Dimension from the Shake King's rule. If Wario collects all of the Boss Emblems, Wario can locate the Shake King in his ship to confront him.

In normal levels, if the timer for reaching the exit with the saved Merfle reaches zero, the Shake King will take Wario to Shakedown Schooner, then grab Wario, take all of his collected items away, and throw him back to the checkpoint block or farther away from it.

Battle[edit]

When Wario manages to obtain five boss emblems and gains access to VS the Shake King, the final battle is split into three parts, as follows:

First phase[edit]

Wario must jump on the Shake King when he uses his charge attack (very similar to Wario's) to make him crash into a wall. Next, he must use a charge attack on his bottom repeatedly until he falls out of the wall, stunned. After he does that, Wario should throw him into any wall, doing a large amount of damage. However, the player may choose to shake the boss before throwing him to cause damage, as this produces large amounts of coins. The Shake King will then attempt other attacks - throwing a giant Bandinero, dropping fireballs, and even an imitation of Wario's Earthshake Punch. When the Shake King is charging any attack (other than the charge), Wario can use an Earthshake Punch to cancel the attack. If Wario does an Earthshake Punch when the Shake King does, Wario's punch will counter it and grant a chance to attack.

This stage takes place in Shakedown Schooner in which the Shake King shook Wario in the regular stages if the player did not make it back to the beginning before time ran out.

In order to counter the Shake King's charge, Wario will need to jump on him three times. The Shake King uses powerful magic which he did not use in the previous stages of the battle, involving many electrical attacks.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The Shake King appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Novice-class Grab-type primary spirit. Equipping the spirit boosts the user's throw power. In the spirit's battle, the player faces King K. Rool on the Pirate Ship stage with earthquakes occurring periodically. Here, King K. Rool predominantly uses grab and throw moves in reference to the grab and throw mechanic from the Wario Land series. The core obtained from Shake King's spirit can be used with a Bob-omb's core to summon the King Bob-omb spirit.
