- Beat Dr. Kahl and his giant robot

- React to cannon fire from Captain Brineybeard's ship
- Are about as fast as explosions from Werner Werman's bombs

- React to laser-fire and large blasts of fire, whether from a stream or as fireballs
- Can continue to react to these types of projectiles even while flying their planes

Durability:

- Tank the explosions of their planes turning into a giant missile with no injuries
- Resist being transformed into stone by Cala Maria
- Can negate the damage of some projectiles, including the likes of fireballs and giant peppermint rolls, with their parry ability
- Regularly take being burned, crushed, and stabbed by giant enemies and continue fighting
- Take being run over by a roller coaster
- Tank attacks from the Devil, who should theoretically be above a good majority of the enemies they face in power
- Cuphead has shown to be able to grab his head by the handle and remove it from his body
- Mugman can take the straw out of his head and use it to drink from whatever is in his head.

Abilities:

Parry:

- The ability to maneuver past projectiles by essentially bouncing off of them
- Can give them an extra boost upward
- Negates damage from the attacks
- Objects that they can parry are usually marked as pink, however you could argue they are not limited to just those
- When one dies, they can "parry" the other's spirit to revive them

Dash:

- A dash that can be performed any time mid-air
- Used for dodging projectiles or clearing large gaps

Charms:

- Special tools that boost them in some way
- In terms of gameplay, can usually carry one.
- However this is up to whoever is using them

Heart:

- A charm that increases the maximum amount of damage they can take in battle
- However, their attacks deal a bit less damage as a result

Sugar:

- A tool that allows the duo to automatically parry the first parryable object they come in contact with

Smoke Bomb:

- A tool that makes the duo invisible during their dashes
- Because of this, they seemingly disappear and reappear a bit in front of them, almost like teleporting
- Can not take damage during this dash, so they can go through enemy projectiles

Coffee:

- Makes their super meter fill up quicker
- Will still power up normally, but just also acts without attacking at all

Whetstone:

- Adds on an axe attack for their parry maneuver

Twin Hearts:

- Allows even more extra damage for the duo to take before they die
- The amount of attack power reduced is less than regular Hearts

Shots:

- The weapons in which Cuphead and Mugman use to fight
- Take the form of projectiles being shot from their fingers
- In terms of gameplay, can posses two during combat
- However this depends on whoever decides to use them of course

Chaser:

- Fires shots that home in on opponents
- However, they deal less damage

- Medium range
- Good damage
- Slow rate of fire
- EX Ability: Kablooey
- Launches a large shot forward that explodes upon landing

Roundabout:

- Great coverage
- Decent damage
- The attack curved behind them, so they would have to fire backwards for the best use
- EX Ability: Jumbo Rebound
- Launches a large, buzzsaw-like projectile forward that hits multiple times before flying back like a boomerang

Charge:

- As the name implies, every shot needs to be charged, thus a slow firing rate
- The damage, of course, is really high because of it
- EX Ability: Radical Barrage
- Creates a short range explosion for high damage

Supers:

- Attacks they can use when they are at full power
- In terms of gameplay, they can only have one equipped at a time
- Of course the writer can do what they want with this

Cuphead-Mermaid-Medusa-Screen-01 by Unserious-Sam

Plane:

- A plane that each one of them can use for aerial combat
- Possesses a ranged machine gun for combat
- Also has the ability to launch bombs for enemies below
- The plane can shrink itself to maneuver past obstacles
- Can fire a large missile for multiple hits instead of an EX Ability
- Instead of a super, the plane transforms into an even bigger missile for extremely heavy damage
- Can parry much like the duo can on their own
- Seems to posses the same durability as the duo

Weaknesses:

- Do not have many feats of physical strength, instead preferring mobility and long range for combat
- As such, do not have many options for close range combat
- Cuphead can be rather brash
- Depending on how you handle them, can only have specific abilities equipped at a time
- Both need to be present in order to revive one another
- Reviewers who can't beat the tutorial
