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. 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. 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 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. When Cuphead dies, his head disappears, and he turns into a headless skeleton, but then the bones turn into a pile of ash. Throughout the entire battle, there will be a moving platform resembling a piece of candy which players can stand on.Peashooter- Cuphead’s primary weapon, light blue, long bullets that travel non-stop with long-range and average damage.

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). 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. 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.While not immediately apparent, the Baroness was made to resemble a soda bottle, with her head acting as the bottle cap. Her name may also be based on Chowder character Baron Von Bon-Bon, who was actually just Gazpacho in a play.
