When Cuphead dies, his head disappears, and he turns into a headless skeleton, but then the bones turn into a pile of ash. After taking enough damage, the Baroness is defeated as she and Whippet Creampup are seen crying with the latter slamming its fists onto the ground. 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. 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.
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 Baroness' intro is also based on the animation of the wolf slicing his head off in Max Fleischer's Dizzy Red Riding Hood (1931). Rapid Fire Bullets - The default bullets for the plane. Like the Peashooter bullets, Cuphead can shoot multiple bullets and they have a long range. The Baroness' character seems to be inspired by the French queen Marie Antoinette. This is indicated by her utilization of her cake castle in her final phase, referencing the phrase " Let them eat cake", commonly attributed to the queen. This is also suggested by her position of authority and her ability to detach her head and throw it, likely referencing Marie's execution by the dreaded guillotine in the French Revolution. This quote is wrongly attributed to Marie Antoinette, because it comes from the autobiography of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a philosopher from the 18th century. He remembers a story he heard a long time ago, about a princess who finds out that her subjects don't have bread and says " Let them eat cake". At that time, in 1765, when the book was written, Marie Antoinette had only 10 years.Cuphead loves his family and friends. He is very loyal to them, despite his flaws, and will do everything he can to protect them. Super Bomb Transformation - As a Super Art, Cuphead can transform into a giant bomb that explodes either on impact or the if duration timer runs out. Mini Bomb - Shoots missles in a downward arc that do above average damage to the enemy but have a slow fire rate. Lobber- Purple orbs that bounce twice before popping. Does a lot of damage but has delayed shooting. In these phases, although he’s one of the baroness’s minions, touching Whippet Creampup's body will not hurt the players.
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). Cuphead also seems to have a vengeful side to him. As seen in after Chef Saltbaker mourns the destruction of his bakery, Mugman and Chalice showed some sympathy for him, while Cuphead on the other hand, angrily states he got what he deserved, as he was still upset that Ms. Chalice/Mugman/he was kidnapped for the wonder tart, and duped by the chef. Whippet Creampup seems to have a childish and temperamental personality, as shown when it is pounding its fists on the ground when its mistress is defeated. It also seems to be territorial and ill-tempered by nature, as shown when the Baroness pulls on its towers to get its attention. It is also shown to be subservient to the Baroness as shown by her nonverbal cue to give chase to Cuphead and Mugman in the final phase. Whippet Creampup is a giant anthropomorphic strawberry flavored cake. On its sides, it possesses two towers made out of cake, which support eyes. It also has bars on its mouth. The top of its towers is made out of whipped cream. 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.Flight - While Cuphead cannot exactly fly himself, he is a master pilot and comes equipped with his own red fighter plane, complete with bullets Giant Ghost - As the final Super Art, Cuphead sends his spirit out of his body. Unlike Cuphead's spirit when he dies, his spirit is now larger and muscular. The direction the ghost goes depends on how Cuphead is moving (i.e if Cuphead moves left, the ghost goes left). The ghost damages any enemies he is near. He does this for approximately 10 seconds before he disappears except for his heart, which goes slowly goes up. His heart can also be parried. Similar to Captain Brineybeard and his ship, Bon Bon and Whippet Creampup are two separate sprites. Her name may also be based on Chowder character Baron Von Bon-Bon, who was actually just Gazpacho in a play.
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. While not immediately apparent, the Baroness was made to resemble a soda bottle, with her head acting as the bottle cap. 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. 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.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.
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. His ghost still has the cup-like head and gloves, but his appearance is now a ghostly blue. His shorts and legs are now replaced with a ghost tail, his straw is now a halo, and his expression is that of melancholy. In the center of Cuphead's ghost's chest, there is a pink heart which can be parried to resurrect him. When used as a Super Art, his ghost is muscular and his expression is determined. Her death screen has an error on it, the fizz/ruffles on the Baroness' dress are white instead of a shade of red.
In the casino, Cuphead and Mugman were on a winning streak at the Craps table. 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. Throughout the entire battle, there will be a moving platform resembling a piece of candy which players can stand on. 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! 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.
