Sex & Nudity
-
- Cala Maria Looks A Little Sexual But Overall No Sex Or Nudity
- Some mild suggestive innuendo.
- 1 or 2 bosses can have suggestive designs.
Violence & Gore
-
- All of the violence in this game is incredibly stylized and cartoonish, just like you'd see in a 1930's cartoon. Very little of it is graphic and most of the violence is meant to be humorous.
- During the Cala Maria fight, you can shoot her eels and they explode into fish slices.
- During the Werner Werman fight, a Tom and Jerry-esque battle, a giant cat eats the mouse. It is later revealed that the cat was a robot being piloted by the mouse.
Profanity
-
- The final battle is titled "One Hell of a Time."
- "Hell" is used a few times. Nothing mature.
- "Hell" is used frequently
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- One of the casino battles is against various living bottles of alcohol, some of them looking and acting like someone who has been heavily drunk.
- Another casino boss fight is against a giant living cigar, with cigarettes flying in the middle of the screen.
- Characters in the background are sometimes seen smoking or drinking.
- Djimmi the Great smokes from a pipe.
- Werner Werman smokes a cigar.
- Cuphead and Mugman can purchase different invigorating potion bottles that grants them different abilities. It's not mentioned they are alcoholic drinks, however one scene shows Cuphead jumping and changing shape after having one bottle. In one trailer it shows Cuphead pouring a bottle with xxx in his head.
- When entering Inkwell Isle Three, it is seen that the Devil is smoking a cigar, due to the game being based on cartoons from the 1930:s.
- Due to the game being set in a 1930s cartoon universe, alcohol and tobacco are shown being smoked by 8 enemies and bosses, including the Devil himself.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- While overall there isn't any content that would necessarily bother children it would be in their better interest to not be fooled by the 1930's tone as the game is best known for it's incredibly difficult boss battles, so much to the point that players have compared them to the difficulty of Dark Souls, Sekiro and Elden Ring
- Some of the bosses and enemies could be scary for younger players.
- The "bad ending" is rather disturbing.
- The devil is mentioned frequently and this may scare younger children. However, it is very mild.
- The devil might be scary for young children.
- Cagney Carnation has a disturbing knock-out animation.
- The Devil is the main villain of the game. However, he is very goofy but can be very scary.
- King Dice tends to make creepy facial expressions, it may disturb some players.
- If you get the bad ending and then enter the konami code in the main menu, the title screen theme will play in reverse and pitched down. If you view the audio through a spectrogram you would find eerie images of The Devil. This can be scary for some kids but this easter egg is not well known.
Spoilers
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- One of the levels (King Dice in All Bets Are Off!) is filled with references to alcohol, smoking and gambling. One of the mini-bosses that can be fought is called the "Tipsy Troop", who resemble three drunk people. They appear as bottles of alcohol with red noses, spiralling eyes and an unwelcoming look. Another mini-boss is called "Mr Wheezy", who is just a large cigar.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- When players enter the final level (The Devil in One Hell of a Time!) they get to choose whether to hand in the repossession contracts they collected throughout the game or not. If the player hands the contracts in then Cuphead and Mugman can be seen looking demonic with burning eyes and chips in their "cupheads". The credits play with macabre music and if the player skips the credits the game will restart and the menu theme will loop backwards. This is quite unsettling.
