well, Mario, Obviously. But beyond that, The Shantae series has a couple shared elements- the prescence of Magic, strong female characters, empowerment by dancing, and much like how Steven's a half-gem, Shantae is a half-genie- and yes, both live in the legacy of their mothers, whom they inherited their non-human side from and who are no longer with them (though Shantae's Mother isn't actually dead). plus, both live in beachside towns, and have casts of very cute, likable, funny characters. they're not TOTALLY similar, but I think there's plenty of common ground for the two.
