Flight - While Cuphead cannot exactly fly himself, he is a master pilot and comes equipped with his own red fighter plane, complete with bullets Invincibility - As the second Super Art, Cuphead crosses the astral plane by transforming into a large, eyeless version of his head that spits out a gold, sparkling, complete version of himself. This makes Cuphead invincible for a few seconds before returning to his normal state. After each subject is defeated (except for the third one), the Baroness will appear from the gate of Whippet Creampup and shake her fist in anger at the player(s). The next subject then appears as Whippet rolls his eyes. After some training, Cuphead and Mugman went to go to collect the soul contracts, using their powers to battle bosses, run through levels, and save the Legendary Chalice. When travelling from Inkwell Isle One to Inkwell Isle Two, the Elder Kettle informs the boys that their strength is growing thanks to the power of the soul contracts, and soon it will be enough to defeat King Dice and even the Devil in battle.

Can't be resurrected without the help of Mugman (likewise, Mugman can't be resurrected without Cuphead). Upon the Devil's defeat, the boys accept his surrender and burn all of the soul contracts, releasing the residents from their eternal servitude to the Devil. The boys then went home and told the residents that they are now free from their debt. They are praised for their bravery, and an all-day celebration began. In their success, the boys promised to never get into trouble again—until the next time.The Howling Aces ( Pilot Bulldog • Yankee Yippers • Sergeant O'Fera) • Mortimer Freeze • Esther Winchester The cake itself is a combination of Funfetti and Strawberry cake mixes, which makes an incredibly sweet and almost Bubblegum-ish flavor. I then added pink gel coloring to a classic buttercream frosting recipe to make the pink frosting. The cake/frosting layers are reminiscent of the layers on the castle! In Inkwell Isle, Cuphead, alongside his younger brother, Mugman, lived happy and carefree under the watch of the Elder Kettle. One day, the boys wandered far from home and ended up in the Devil's Casino, despite Elder Kettle's warnings. Resurrection - When Cuphead dies, he can be resurrected when his heart, which is in the center of his spirit, is parried. As long as Mugman is with him and his spirit is still on screen, he can return to fight.

Rapid Fire Bullets - The default bullets for the plane. Like the Peashooter bullets, Cuphead can shoot multiple bullets and they have a long range. In these phases, although he’s one of the baroness’s minions, touching Whippet Creampup's body will not hurt the players.He may likewise have been influenced by the design of various sentient porcelain characters from the 1934 Silly Symphony The China Shop. Astral Projection - With the last two Super Arts involve him going into the astral plane, it can be implied that Cuphead has the special ability to enter the astral plane and have out of body experiences. Charge- An orange fiery horizontal spiral that can be charged to deal a massive amount of damage. Takes a long time to charge. In Simple mode, Bon Bon will appear to fire the candy cane shotgun endlessly without commanding Whippet Creampup to move, and the Jelly Bullies Squad will still be sent out. Also, in their simple KO, Bon Bon still cries like she does in regular or expert, but this time, instead of pounding its fists on the ground, Whippet Creampup will just sit still with a disappointed look in its eyes. The boss fight is also similar to that of Ado/Adeleine from Kirby's Dreamland 3/ Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, as both bosses summon a series of mini-bosses (one by one) to battle the players before confronting them themselves. Bon Bon and Ado/Adeleine also both make an angry and frustrated reaction upon the defeat of each mini-boss.

As seen in the introduction, Cuphead seems to have a somewhat greedy personality, apparently willing to risk anything to get what he wants, causing the infamous bet which he nearly cost him both of their souls. Despite his flaws, however, he seems to be kind-hearted and has good intentions overall, such as in the good ending where he and Mugman burn all the soul contracts, setting everyone free. Throughout the entire battle, there will be a moving platform resembling a piece of candy which players can stand on. Her death screen has an error on it, the fizz/ruffles on the Baroness' dress are white instead of a shade of red. Despite this, Cuphead goes to elementary school, according to Carnival Chaos, Cuphead goes to Inkwell Elementary. In the beginning moments of a boss battle, Cuphead will hoist his pants, smiling, with determination on his face. The sole exception to this is the fight with The Devil, where he seems to be terrified, reusing the sprites Cuphead uses if he fails to stop The Spectre Syndicate from reaching The Legendary Chalice's urn in the Mausoleum levels. After the update, he may sometimes pump his muscles with a more determined grin.The stage may be a reference to The Cookie Carnival, an animated Disney short with similar character designs. It also references the Fleischer short Somewhere in Dreamland. Made of porcelain: 3 hits can kill him (4 while equipped with the Heart Charm,5 while equipped with the Twin Heart Charm and 6 with the Heart Ring charm if Cuphead gets all 6 parries before getting hit). In the E3 2015 trailer, Cuphead seems to pour a beverage labeled "XXX" into his head, though he is never seen doing this in the final version. This along with Mugman drinking his soul in his intro animation lead to the infamous theory that their heads contained alcohol. The way she wields her candy cane like a shotgun may be a reference to a scene from Adventure Time in the Candy Kingdom, in which a citizen grabs a candy cane and fires it at Finn while making shotgun noises. The baroness herself may also have in part been inspired by Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum. I don’t know how I feel about those eyeball sprinkles. They’re always looking at me funny, no matter what angle I’m at!)
