"the liquid in their heads are their souls"
So basically all this time the Devil just wanted a sip of Cuphead and Mugman?
(snorts in amusement)
*Ohohohoho*
Devil can have a little sip, as a treat
I thought It was moonshine
The devil:👿
"What is in those cups? Well, the creators have an answer: It's the essence of Cuphead and Mugman's souls." *Oh.*
*CupSouls*
Well at least it wasn’t blood or pee
So that is why Mugsy drinks it...
EnderLove it’s confirmed it’s milk lol
EnderLove some say it’s milk but it’s actually moon shine you can see in a trailer cup head poors some into his head
This is no game. This is a masterpiece.
True
2D darksouls
@@pmdchi it isn't anything like dark souls except for the fact that it has bosses, and that it's hard
@@shimmipenguin1764 I'm pretty sure thatd why he called it a 2d dark souls.
*[I find it funny how they named Cala Maria’s. And was based off of calamari]*
I just finished playing this game, and it's one of my favorites. It's amazing that the brothers remortgaged their home and worked so hard to get the game into the finished product that it is today. What an amazing success story
I thought you were talking about Cuphead and Mugman for a second and I'm mad at myself
I have a crush on calamaria
I’m not joking
@@salmonfrogs8480 Stop it. Get some help.
Here's an interesting fact. The singer for Die House, the theme that plays when you're in one of King Dice's Dice Houses, is actually sung by a woman.
SaiyanGamer95 And sally stageplay is voiced by a dude
Would it be possible to raise the pitch of the vocal track of that song in the game just high enough to make King Dice sound more female?
David Dyer I guess it would be.
I know it was sung by a woman
Marianely Velez
haahaa.. wait what..
Actually there is another fact about Cuphead. If you don’t fight the devil (like you said) you go back to the start screen where the main menu song is (Ya know The song we are familiar with:Well" Cuphead and his pal Mugman they like to roll the dice") It gets reversed
I thought it was when the game gets pirated
I fear my soul
Daehpuc
vibecheck_png Its disorted not reversed
@@dontask619 Namgum lap sih dna
5:43 I don't know why but I really like Goopy Le Grande's dizzy animation. His eyes spinning in opposite directions and his head, or "body" I guess, swaying side to side. It's very cartoony, simple & effective. Now every time I think of a cartoon character being dizzy or knocked out, this face comes to mind every time.
my first time going to that pool to see how many times i’ve died he said it was 666 so i turned my tv off.
I died 4'748
@Wyatt Smith press x to doubt .
when I beat the game it took me like 500 attempts the bosses are easier than the run and guns but that’s just my opinion
I never died in the game because I never played
@Wyatt Smith nice
"Wallop" was always a word to hit something, wasn't it?
ProjectMiles me too, I thought it ment "to strike or hit" something
The mandela effect could be happening you might live in an ulternate universe
Very late to the party here but; Wallop can be used as a other word for drinking to much and passing out, or having a bad hangover. If something packs a punch, it has a very powerful effect. It's not the mandela effect.
breipgnosis oh ok thanks I just wanted to bring it up...
@@NG_Tree no, wallop means to strike or hit, I just looked it up again to make sure.
Much respect for those two going all in and commit to the project 100%

"The actual character, Cuphead was inspired by two cartoons, The China Shop and Picnic Panic."
[Mickey Mouse cries on the backstage]
Im drawing that
Sowy micky
I believe Mickey is younger than Bimbo and the other Silly Symphony/Merrie Melodies characters that defined the style.
@@noor-rx1ij But Cuphead resembles Mickey so much. Just make mickey wear a Cup (and lose his tail) and you get Cuphead.
@@sharif47 Agreed, Cuphead himself reminds me more of Mickey than anything else. But Disney adopted the style from earlier works :-)
Old cartoons and movies that were drawn on paper were the absolute BEST! It feels so different and looks a lot more polished if drawn because it catches people's eye more and had an actual ''style'' of art towards it. (At least for me) That's why Cuphead was such a good game to me. And the characters and sound effects just took it to the next level.
I adore this style
@@shadow_shine3578 yes I agree the were smart with this game and did not rush it
@@tripi7906 yeah!
in ireland to wallop means to beat someone
like hit them
i think that is what its supposed to mean here
Just FYI "wallop" isn't just an Ireland thing, I think most of the English speaking world is familiar with it being slang for "hit someone really hard"
it’s not an irish thing lol
Same in Scotland
It is trust me I’m Irish ☘️
@@Inkypencil22 it is
So... Mugman drinks his soul? O.O
Self cannibalism.
No he does not did you watch game theorists he puts beer in he’s head and drinks it cuz if you see triple x means it’s beer or drugs or somthin
Did you watch the whole video? The creators specifically said it was their souls.
...what would the benefit be if he drinks his soul... it would just... end up back in his cup? I thought it was moonshine, Liquid Courage, if you will...
English viking kaden did you watch game theorists
"this glitch is also known as: THE ONLY WAY I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO BEAT THE GAME"
XD XD XD XD
First
Hey Bill Cipher how you been?
By the way I love your bow tie
@@sarabaker4662 mone
yet another
@@sarabaker4662 cringe.
I just realised, when the Devil calls out 'snake eyes' then slams his hand down in the prologue, has anyone made the correlation between that moment in the prologue to that of the scene in The Nightmare Before Christmas when Oogie Boogie rolled 'snake eyes' then slammed his hand down (though in that scene he slammed his hand down to change the numbers from double 1 to the combined total of 11)?
In fact, that entire moment when the Devil offered Cuphead one more roll of the dice made me think about that scene in TNBC.
Enjoy this food for thought folks
Lol
The devil always making deals, especially musicians.
I have a crush on calamaria
I'm pretty certain those dice were loaded and/or cursed. Why?
A) Instead of allowing the boys to roll the dice they usually rolled (white with black dots, I think. I may be wrong.), the devil held out very different dice.
B) The devil is kinda like the embodiement of evil, so cheating wouldn't be too out of place.
19:17
Wait so mugman is drinking his soul?
That's why Cuphead is the mean child in the family, cuz Mugman drank his soul and kept some of his sanity
It returns to his head... I think
Eww
SLURRRRRP
I need a good meal
The thought of drawing all that makes me cry....
There's still glitches, I was fighting Hilda but then she flew off the screen and died which made me win. It made me laugh so much
Loool
"Comment how many times you got killed by Grim Matchstick"
Me: You think i'm that good?
I dident beat him yet
ariana gondal I just beat the game!
10 I barely fought him until I got charge
@@King-ef2hj good job
My first try I only really got killed on phase 3 and 1 time on phase 2
i thought "wallop" means something like "go at 'em!"
AdaraTheShallot I thought it meant fight
Mike Rotch same
Mike Rotch nice name
Here in the UK "Wallop" means to hit something.
yeah something like that.
I only died 2 times in grim matchsticks
....but full of restarts
Man beppi and grim is hell
I never died on grim
Grim matchstick is the hardest boss in my opinion, it was kind of everything I’m bad at rolled into one.
@@bongoeworld7234 do you have no seen the robot than
@@koni.K to me it was Grim,Sally and Dejimmie 😱
Wait wait wait
“International animated film society”
FILM?!?
CUPHEAD GOT A *FILM* AWARD?!?!?
I’m impressed
the dance that Cagney Carnation does in his battle (the one with the hand movement thingy) is a direct copy from the one Ghost's dance in "swing you sinners"
And by the way, I have died 0 times from Grim Macthsick because I CAN'T GET PAST THE ROOT PACK!!!
:/
Me too I suck at da game
Grim matchstick’s name is a reference to animator Grim natwick (or however you spell it) and the studder at the end screen when you die you the dragon will have lines that studder, just like grim natwick
This should be in more of the Cuphead fun facts videos (I have only ever seen it in the comments), because I find it to be a cool fact, and some good trivia. It's pretty cool, in my opinion, that they not only took inspiration from the animation, but seemingly checked out the credits of the cartoons for inspiration as well.
Dr. Kahls robot is as well. Milt Kahl was also a very influential animator
Wally Warbles has a lot of resemblance to Woody Woodpecker.
HeheheHAhe
Jershloaf HEhehaHeHAH huhuhuhuhhh
the one wood pecker from treetop trouble looks more similar imo
This game has a lot of 1930’s references and extra 40’s 50’s references and extra video game references as well
Everytime I learn more about the production of Cuphead, makes me appreciate it much more and become one of my new favorite games!
King Dice has 9 extra bosses excluding himself, not 8
Unicornicornucopia :3 you had 8 likes now you have 9 your welcome
I've died too many times on Matchstick to count. All hail Cagney Carnation.
Extreme pollination and total domination!
Fools who attempt to fight this will leave with allergic rhinitis!
U need charge its op
did you beat it yet
Flowey
“What’s in those cups?”
“The essence of Cuphead and Mugman’s souls.”
Then why does mugman drink it all the time
It probably just goes back into his head🤷♂️
The game also uses old slang not just "wallop", like "swell" meaning great.
I had not idea about the story behind the creators. I'm glad their dreams became true.
Excellent info Leaderboard!

Cuphead: Hold my beer
@@patrykpiekarz1263 in MARVEL history, that is.
If the the beer is MugMan he means soul.
This should be called, “The history of cup head”
And I thought it was milk inside Cuphead and Mugman’s head
Thought it was liquor. R.I.P. MatPat.
thing is..... creepy because mugman drinks his own soul??? wtf
oh wow, turns out it _was_ That Deep
paul gonzalez I think of him drinkin' the contents as a pacifier of sorts. I mean, it goes directly back in his noggin, right? No harm done!
Heh, they're drinking spirits

I just recently realized that 'Grim Matchstick's name is probably a reference to Grim Natwick, an animator who helped Max Fleischer come up with a female counterpart to Bimbo since Natwick was one of the very few animators at the time who specialized in animating and drawing the female form. That female counterpart soon became Betty Boop.
So Mugman sucks his own soul before engaging in combat?
I thought the dragon was one of the easier levels! The queen bee, carnival clown, and calamaria we're the hardest for me...
I thought the dragon was pretty easy too. The bee and the robot were the worst for me.
Lol I’m stuck at the dragon level right now😂 So far the hardest one for me was the clown
The fact that you didn't use any of the bosses names make me think you haven't even played the game
@@DynastieArtistique I'm stuck on grim too but beppi only took 3 hours for me
Grim was the hardest boss until they found out the robot dude
12:23 wait the diamonds are literally going through him
So much respect for the brothers! What an awesome video game, animations, soon to be animated series on Netflix, etc. I love that they never gave up on their dream & made it happen!
Have you noticed #34? 34 hrs worked straight in a row... wow
...
Better than rule 34
Mugman drinks his own soul essence before a battle
That’s the thing with Cuphead it’s got SO MUCH behind the scenes info that you instantly feel like your playing in an actual 1930s cartoon along side with 3 props for the background like Jimmy the great or Grim Matchstick
Something I love about cuphead is that although it’s a deathly hardcore game, it’s one of the few I’ve played that don’t try to be impossible. Also, I think I died about 200 times to dragon 🐉 dude
This really makes me want to buy a record player and the soundtrack on vinyl. This game has a BEAUTIFUL art style, and an absolutely stunning soundtrack!
11:56 "touch fuzzy get dizzy"
YOSHI'S ISLAND REFERENCE ANYONE
yes
Nanda I Kadek yep me
Yep, that's the fact. Good job.
Yes, that's the point. Excellent job there, buddy.
This was great the only thing incorrect was the “kamehameha” at 10:06 it’s called Hadouken. LOL
PRXJEK I caught that lol
I was triggered
Super love this game! I haven't finished it yet but when it came out, I bought it right away because of the amount of work that was needed to produce this game. I'm a 90's kid so playing the game even if its really difficult was really nostalgic.
Being born 1990 gives you nostalgia for 1930s cartoons
@@zylloz1830 I was born in the late 80's. And yes, it gives me nostalgia. When I was kid I used to watch 1930's Disney cartoon on TV. Bear in mind I don't live in the US. So the cartoons we were watching growing up were Betty Boop, Popeye, Mighty Mouse, Cookie Carnival, Felix the Cat to name a few.
:talking about Rumor Honeybottoms:
"a cool rumor"
"a cool RUMOR"
"a call *R U M O R* "
I have not played the game yet but I so want to. Also, Grim Matchstick is freaking adorable. I just want to give him a big hug,
GamingFanactic911 when you have to fight him. THAT WILL CHANGE!
Oh never!! He is too cute and just wants a friend; he also just doesn't know his own strength so he doesn't really mean to do you any harm.
GamingFanactic911 wtf are you saying?
Fun fact: porkrind is the only character that can be seen outside a boss fight that talks
7:17 the swing you sinners is a achievement you get when you beat the devil I think

The dragon boss at THE BEGINNING of Megaman 2?

Hate to break it to you, but King Dice has 9 court members, not 8.
There. Now you have 9 likes, not 8.
Now you have 29 likes, not 28
*There. Now you have 69 likes, not 70
Chad and Jared didn’t have to do so much, this team didn’t NEED to be hand drawn, they could of just done it digitally, but they took time and effort to make a game that will go down in history, thank you studio MDHR.
16:52 The Mugman army glitch might’ve inspired the “and his pal Mugman” meme
Dude why isnt cuphead on nintendo switch??????????? Cuphead and mugman are literally red and blue joy cons!!!!
"literally"
seeing as its xbox and windows exclusive im guessing they have a deal with microsoft which is why there is no switch/ps4 port and why they are having trouble with the mac and linux port.
DeadMaunix I got it on xbox. Microsoft partially funded the game
Because Nintendo Switch Is Freakin' Released in 2017 and Cuphead Is Released in 2016
Cuphead was in 2017 ...
"a cool Rumor that it was all intentional" hehehehe
Grim Matchstick is definitely my favorite boss. I also really like the Phantom Express and King Dice. But all of them have animations I adore.
I'm glad I bought this game... It's so beautifully animated
#67 I love The Iron Giant!!
You can see the bender in him
Khalid Henry why?
#8 i love super meat boy!
I actually rewatched it yesterday. I hadn't seen The Iron Giant, since at least 15 years ago. It was good when I was 7 and even better as a 22 year old.
Khalid Henry he was hacking that part
YES! I’ve been waiting for this one since the game came out. Thanks leaderboard!

Wait- if the things in their cups are the essence of Cuphead and Mugman's souls, how come Mugman's literally DRINKS IT everytime they go into battle?
Watched this the day The Cuphead Show came out on Netflix!! They really weren't lying when they said more was to come! :D
I knew 7 facts wasn't enough.
Fact 107 debunked MatPat's game theory. He needs to see this.
Also another fact is on King Dice's song, i heard from rumors a woman was singing it.
The Mr. King dice WAS sang by a woman, her name is Alana Bridgewater and she can do a male voice.
Search: Mr. King dice song LIVE so you can see it.
Just an artist kitty X3
I thought the tone was edited to a lower pitch
Dezy Bear Nope, she can do it all by herself, she's very talented!
omeqaflowey
Its not that i was tryna be above game theory, i was tryna help. If something needs to be fixed its gotta be fixed. I doubt at this point there'll be another cuphead theory but i tried to help. I dont want to be above anyone
Hey, a fellow theorist! Cool!
This game actually really inspires me to create a game, 2D is more my style so this gives me hope for my own game ideas!
Watching this 1 hour before the cuphead show releases. Shows how far we've gone.
Well Cuphead and his pal Mugman
They like to roll the dice
By change they came on devil’s game and gosh they payed the price
Payed the price
And now they’re fighting for their lives on a mission frought with dread
And if they proceed but don’t succeed, well, the devil will take their heads
Kavaskon the Beta Cuphead who Gambled away his last dime.
Entered a tournament to buy him time.
If he can win his head will be sworn.
This is how the adventure was born!
Cupheaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!
@Andrew Clarke Song Machine Broke
Patryk Piekarz uh what
Ok, now I seriously need to play this game! I can't wait for the sequel to Cuphead to come out!
Sees thumbnail: oh just some cuphead facts
Sees you should know: goodness I should know I have to close class this
Also, if you want to have a bit of an easier time with the Phantom Express, try using Roundabout, and chaser. Don’t forget P. Sugar. That will make it easier if you want to move the platform or parry the bricks.
it is from canada then
funtime Mary nawww its chinese
Dude it's a joke XD
Not actually, if they are from Canada it doesn't mean that, if that did all the work and action here than it belongs to the U.S and if they sold it here then yeah..
Diva gurl it was a joke lol
froggy frog oh 😂
Diva gurl lol
Definitely the best looking game from the past few years, especially considering the obsession with 4K 3D graphics.
Huh
I love this game because of those silly symphonies like the old mill and funny little bunnies. This game is so genius.
The amount of references to video game, and old cartoons in this game is staggering.
Honestly Cuphead is probably the best game ive ever seen. The animation is beautiful. The music is so lovely and unique, especially the intro song with the quartet like sound. There are so many amazing cameos. The main plot line is so unique and its actually challenging. Increadible game. Absolutely love it!
Also, everyone thinks the Cagney Carnation final stage things he shoots are pollen, but to me they look like dandelions
Popplio WinsAll BTW, there’s a common thought among gamers that Cagney Carnation is inspired by Flowey.
ITH Productions
I thought Cagney was made first? Cuphead was announced before Undertale, wasn't it?
Skullynx Yep

18:55, and now we have an entire new dlc
Great video I enjoyed learning about the game
Ok but more than anything Rumor Honeybottoms feels like a shout out to Donkey Kong Country 2. The level design and even the scrolling and platforming mechanics are so similar to the bee levels and boss from that game.
The Essenes of Cupheads and mugs soul dose that mean mugman drinks his soul
...I.... guess? I thought it was moonshine
*slurp*
TerraCraftFun yup
I seriously love this game! I bought that 4 vinyl soundtrack as well as a funko pop of King Dice!
Me too!
There is a funko pop of King Dice o-O?
I can imagine how happy those animators
and producers of CupHead
were when they finally finished making the game
An artist is never done or finished with his art.
Fact Checks, it wasn't called "Evil Mickey Attacks Japan" the actual title is "Omocha Bako Shirizu Dai San Wa: Ehon Senkyuhyakusanjuroku Nen", much like Turkish Star Wars, the bootleg title has become SO synonymous, that it's simply the official title for the movie now, also it was from 1934, WWII hadn't started yet, and Mega Man was the 80s, not 90s, and Kamahamayha is from Dragon Ball, not Street Fighter
i love Cuphead and Mugman they're my favorite characters
Just watching this Video brings me to tears on how much work was put into Cuphead, Best games ever~
Same, also I love your pfp!
This game REALLY shows, how much love and work went into it.
107 facts about getting over it
8:13 How did you parry that?
