How to Play as Mugman in Cuphead

TL;DR To play as Mugman in Cuphead, ensure your game is updated to version 1.2 or later. Earlier versions do not allow Mugman as player one [1:1][1:2].

Game Version Update

Mugman was initially unavailable as a playable character in single-player mode at launch. To select Mugman, you need to update your game to version 1.2 or higher [1:2]. If your game is outdated, updating it will enable the option to choose Mugman as player one [1:4].

Character Preferences

Players have different preferences when choosing between Cuphead and Mugman. Some players feel a psychological connection with their chosen character, often due to familiarity or personal affinity [2:1][2:3]. Others enjoy playing as Mugman for his unique animations and aesthetic appeal [3:1][3:2]. Despite these preferences, gameplay mechanics remain consistent between the two characters [2:2].

Community Opinions on Mugman

Mugman has garnered a fan base due to his charming design and character portrayal in various media, including the show [4:3][4:7]. Players appreciate his role as the younger sibling and often relate to him through shared experiences of being the second player in games [3:3][5:6]. The community affectionately refers to themselves as part of the "Mugman cult" [5:9].

Gameplay Strategy

While there are no hidden buffs or advantages to playing as Mugman versus Cuphead, some players find personal success or comfort using one character over the other [3:1]. This choice can be influenced by individual gameplay style or the perceived personality of the character [5:6].

If you're playing a version of the game below V1.2, then you cannot select Mugman as player 1. (You can tell that the text for the file select screen, the word Cuphead is in all caps in V1.2 but versions below V1.2 only has the letter C capitalized)

at first i used cuphead while fighting hilda or cagney..? i dont rlly remembered and struggled so much so i used mugman instead for a bizarre reason and when i used mugman i beat hilda/cagney in the 2nd try. thats why i never used cuphead again. i know its unrelated but another reason i used mugman is his animation before the battle when he spin around is so cute lmao.

ResponseTall6948 · 3 years ago

Same, but each set of players adds different lore, cuphead as player 1, he is taking charge to get them out. mugman as player 1, shows cuphead can’t really get out of stuff well, so he relies on his brother. just cuphead, he takes the blame and gets them out by himself. mugman alone, cuphead always causes them trouble, so mugman has to get them out of it! Different lore for each set up

I really dislike how they labeled Cuphead as Near Pure Good, and they listed "Getting angry at Saltbaker when he mourns his bakery being destroyed" as something keeping him from being PG. I mean, HE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY AT THE PERSON WHO WAS GONNA MURDER ALL 3 OF THEM. They also say he's still arrogant after the DLC and the base game, and I HIGHLY doubt that.

Do you prefer Cuphead or Mugman? Who do you love more? Who is better?

I’d really appreciate it if you could also explain why because I’m curious about your reasoning.

By the way, both the game and the show versions of Cuphead and Mugman are included, so feel free to consider either or both.

I’m looking forward to hearing your comments, thoughts, opinions and critiques in the comment section.

I used to like Mugman more because i like blue and because i was in a Luigi phase and he looked a lot like luigi. But with time, i started to apreciate Cupheads type of character more and more ( the problematic yet carimatic type).

Nowadays, i like them both equally, leaning a little bit towards cuphead.

How to play as Mugman in Cuphead

Playing as Mugman in Cuphead: Key Considerations

  1. Co-op Mode: Mugman is primarily available as a playable character in the local co-op mode. To play as Mugman, you need a second player to join the game. The first player controls Cuphead, while the second player can choose Mugman.

  2. Character Abilities: Mugman has the same abilities as Cuphead, including shooting, dashing, and parrying. There are no unique abilities for Mugman, but he can use the same weapons and charms as Cuphead.

  3. Game Mechanics:

    • Shooting: Use the shoot button to fire at enemies.
    • Dashing: Use the dash button to avoid attacks and obstacles.
    • Parrying: Jump and press the parry button to parry pink objects, which can help you gain extra super meter.
  4. Reviving: If playing in co-op, if one player gets knocked out, the other player can revive them by parrying their ghost. This adds a layer of teamwork to the gameplay.

  5. Solo Play: If you want to play as Mugman in single-player mode, you can only do so by starting a new game after completing the game as Cuphead. Mugman will then be available as the main character.

Recommendation: If you're playing with a friend, make sure to communicate and coordinate your actions, especially during boss fights. This teamwork can make challenging levels more manageable and enjoyable!
