Mugman may have felt their bond slipping during the events of "The Devil's Pitchfork," and wanted to make up with Cuphead by turning their bikes into Tantum Bikes. Mugman bursts into tears when Cuphead asks if they really have to do everything together, but later forgives him when he tells him that there isn’t anybody else he rather go around blowing up stuff with. They would later spend the day causing chaos with the Devil's Pitchfork, after he left it behind. Just like how Cuphead is important to him, Mugman is important to Cuphead, as he was kidnapped by the Devil who wanted revenge on Cuphead for stealing his pitchfork. Makuch, Eddie (December 8, 2017).

Despite his cowardice, Mugman shows extraordinary bursts of courage whenever Cuphead's life is in danger. In the first episode, he prevents his brother's soul from being stolen by the Devil. In the episode "Sweater Off Dead", after Cuphead wakes up from a nightmare, Mugman decides to act and takes him to Quadratus. His brotherly love for Cuphead allows him to knit him an invisible sweater extremely effective against the Devil, and he protects him from all the Devil's attempts to steal his soul. At the end of the episode, when Cuphead thanks him for knitting the sweater, Mugman replies that "he'd never make a sweater for no other than his dearest sweet, sweet brother".Mugman has shown to be talented in the culinary arts, being able to bake pies, and cakes. He also shows other talents such as knitting, embroidery, and being able to build a log cabin with a stove, despite the limited resources he has. In the epilogue, Saltbaker is arrested for his crimes and sentenced to community service by assisting the Island's inhabitants with their various problems. Saltbaker soon realizes the error of his ways and, after serving his sentence, rebuilds his bakery and prepares pastries for everyone on the Isle (including Cuphead, Mugman, and Chalice), much to their delight.

While both of them are playful and, at times, immature, Mugman is much more of a worrier than his sibling. However, sometimes despite the fact that he has a more cowardly nature, Mugman always stands up for his brother and is happy for Cuphead to drag him along on their many adventures.Cuphead was nominated for "Breakout Game of the Year" in PC Gamer 's 2017 Game of the Year Awards, [82] and won the award for "Best Xbox One Game" in Destructoid 's Game of the Year Awards 2017.
