Cuphead and Mugman begged for their lives, and so the Devil sent them on a mission to collect his debtors' soul contracts by midnight, saying he would consider sparing them. When the Devil came to the table, (which was a surprise for the boys) he offered a bet: if the boys won, they would get all the loot in the casino, but if they lost, the Devil would take their souls.Ĭuphead, blinded by easy riches, rolled the dice and landed on snake eyes, losing the bet. In the casino, Cuphead and Mugman were on a winning streak at the Craps table. One day, the boys wandered far from home and ended up in the Devil's Casino, despite Elder Kettle's warnings. In Inkwell Isle, Cuphead, alongside his younger brother, Mugman, lived happy and carefree under the watch of the Elder Kettle. 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.

In addition, 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 will cost him his soul and his brother. His personality was mostly inspired by the "charming, yet trouble-making" character archetype, as seen in the protagonists of early cartoons. He (in contrast to his twin brother) often takes quite the amount of risks. He is shown to be the more confident, fun-loving and slightly cheeky type. Although his confidence and drive for adventure can lead him to appear devious or get him into trouble, at his core, he is a kind-hearted soul who wants to do good-but has the tendency to leap before he looks.Ĭuphead seems to be a daredevil. Overall, Cuphead's appearance is reminiscent of character designs from classical 1930s cartoons, of which the game's art style is designed around.Ĭuphead is typically a nice person alongside his younger twin brother Mugman, enjoying an easy-going and good life, but is relentlessly optimistic.
Cuphead sonic enemies skin#
His colors are a little more duller, his gloves are yellow always, and his skin has a tannish tint to it. In The Cuphead Show!, Cuphead's appearance is the same, with a few differences. In some artwork, he is also shown to have fire rising out of his head. His red colors change to purple and he now has a bitten straw and evil-looking yellow eyes with black and red pupils, a maniacal smile, and sharp teeth. If the answer "Yes" is chosen in the cut scene with the Devil before his battle-triggering the bad ending-his appearance dramatically changes. When used as a Super Art, his ghost is muscular and his expression is determined. In the center of Cuphead's ghost's chest, there is a pink heart which can be parried to resurrect him. His shorts and legs are now replaced with a ghost tail, his straw is now a halo, and his expression is that of melancholy. His ghost still has the cup head and gloves, but his appearance is now a ghostly blue. So enough hits could kill him or break him. As an anthropomorphic cup, he is a light gray cup and is, made out of porcelain. To emulate the way characters were drawn in the game’s time period, his coloring is inconsistent he is sometimes depicted wearing red or yellow boots, and/or yellow gloves instead.

He is mostly seen wearing a black, long-sleeve shirt, white gloves, red shorts (slightly similar to Mickey Mouse's iconic short overalls), and brown shoes. He always has a determined expression in the face of dangerm but like all creatures can change expression. His face consists of eyes that are very close together with black pie-cut pupils, and a small red nose. As his name suggests, Cuphead's head is a wide cup with what seems to be some sort of liquid inside, topped with a red and white striped straw.
