Top 10 Best Cuphead Bosses

You agreed to my game and you lost!
You accepted the odds, now you'll cough up the cost!
Don't screw with me kid, or I swear
I'll take my tea from your skull like cheap chinaware!

He's a jerk for acting like you betrayed him. Like, dude, you said nothing about me joining you! But I love him.

Best boss of the game. And definitely the best final boss of an indie game next to Asriel Dreemurr via Undertale's True Pacifist Run!

He's hard but fun, and too adorable to hate! Expert mode, which appeared to be easier, made him my favorite boss! I just love how he stutters when he wins, proving he's actually a nice and cute boss.

I just love this fight. It's hectic but fun at the same time!

Very fun and definitely the coolest character!

Ah, yes, Bepis the Demented Clown.

Jokes aside, Beppi the Clown was annoying. So annoying I wanted to break my console halfway through the fight. But what I like about Beppi is his personality. He was charismatic and kept a smile until his final knockout.

Not to mention he survived falling off a horse and bumper car and had his face split open and survived (he's right and dandy in the good ending). Also, in the third phase, he has the time of his life on that horse, and I can't get enough of it.

His theme? Eh. I don't care for it, but it's not the worst. I'll listen to it, but it honestly creeps me out. Anyway, at the end of the day, Beppi was just...annoying...but he was a fun clown that I felt engaged in watching.

This is the best air fight in the whole game! Her design is super cute and pretty. She'll use her ghosts that home in on you, and that's always fun. Her fish cannons are really neat, and I love how she tries to look like a leader when she summons the seahorse, turtle, and pufferfish.

When the second phase began, I felt really bad that she got shocked. But then she went from super pretty to absolutely beautiful! The Medusa phase is simple but tough. She'll try to stun you with her stone eyes and then get you with the eels.

Her last phase is really hard. She'll lead you through a thin corridor, attacking with eye beams and a lot of spikes. Why did I have to kill her?! The ending is sad, but she will live another day! You know you're a cutie. I don't know if I should catch and release.

The most interesting fight to me because he isn't just one boss but is technically 13 bosses in one. You've got 12 "minibosses" that you may or may not need to fight depending on what you roll (the dice-rolling mechanic that determines the boss you fight is interesting in itself). There was no other boss fight that worked like this one, making the King Dice fight the most unique one.

I just love King Dice. He's challenging but not too hard. He has really nice music, and it is so fun to parry the cards! Plus, he has a cool knockout animation.

A really fun boss that is the perfect balance of difficult and doable. And there is a reason Floral Fury is in Smash Bros.

So hard to beat! The variety and speed of his attacks are overwhelmingly awesome! His idle animation is the best!

Watching his dancing has now made me dance like him on a regular basis. Also, his music is the best in the game.

Honestly, one of my favorite bosses in all of video games, and that's saying a lot. When you first begin, you have to deal with three different attacks that fit well together. Dodging them requires skills from parrying to staying alive, and always preparing for what attacks will come at you next.

After you beat one section, a whole new attack begins. This adds variety and allows different players to choose which set of attacks they want to deal with first. All this happens at the beginning of the battle, so you don't have too far back to go if you die.

Then the second phase begins. It acts as a sort of minigame break between the two hard phases. It also demands the use of bombs to make it easier, without making it too hard to normal gun him.

Then the final phase begins, where Dr. Kahl gets angry and stops playing games. This phase reminds me of the days of Clown Car Bowser, where the car would try to crush Mario in the final phase. Dr. Kahl laughs crazily as projectiles flood the screen, some of them parryable. This is where you let loose your anger with EX attacks. I can't find anything more satisfying than grinding through the last phase and winning right as you wonder if you're missing something.

Did I mention the music and atmosphere are amazing too? Amazing boss. My only complaint is that the tracking bomb radius is a bit too big. More of just an annoyance for me though.

Ah, yes, German Rat.

Jokes aside, Werner Werman, although painstakingly easy, was really, and I mean REALLY, fun to fight. His cherry bombs were fun to dodge in his first phase, and the second phase had me scrambling to not get hit.

Then poor Werner gets chomped, and we fight the cat that ate him. Dodging everything that the cat threw at you was a challenge, but you can end up knocking the cat out in no time.

And we realize, the cat was Werner the whole time! I felt so betrayed. But the fight kept me engaged, and I felt as if there was always some new creative aspect in each phase. Not to mention the theme. It SLAPS. At the end of the day, Werner is a good way for me to let off steam by satisfyingly flying by him.

He's ten times better than the Devil! I love a good twist villain, and he's probably my second favorite next to Magolor.

He is a really cool and evil boss.

Let it be known that he didn't die. If you look at his eyes, he's clearly faking the knockout to prevent any further injuries. After they took his contract, he jumped up. Assuming this is true, we all know he can easily overpower the paramedics, who can only spit pills and are far smaller.

This is my favorite aeroplane boss. The insanity of the boss on Expert makes it even more fun for me.

Sky-high violence is what Cuphead has in store!

He looks like Bluto from Popeye the Sailor meets Sinbad the Sailor.

Who's the most remarkable, extraordinary fellow?

Found a lot of fun with this one!

So dope. I just love him. His animations are phenomenal, and I love his secret phase with Puphead.

Hilda's last phase animation, when she transitions into the moon, is SUPER satisfying (seriously, you should go and watch that in slow motion). The animators once again did a really great job with flawless animation.

She is my favorite because she's red, and I love red. I also love her moon phase.

Hey! He's comin' this way, so beware!

Her over-the-top facial expressions are hilarious! The angry grimaces whenever you defeat a miniboss, the smug smirks as she fires her rifle at you, and that psychotic grin right before the final phase...they make her so entertaining. The angry fist shakes are the icing on the cake!

Speaking of cake, I am in love with the candy theming! It's just so colorful and creative. I also love her intro animation. The decapitation in general was an interesting, if somewhat nightmarish, aspect of her level. For these reasons, I can't help but call Baroness von Bon Bon my favorite boss.

This is definitely one of my favorite bosses in the entire game. He's got so many cool attacks. Also, am I the only one that thinks he looks kinda like Ice King from Adventure Time?

Ah, yes, Frog and Toad.

(They seriously remind me of Frog and Toad.) All jokes aside, Ribby and Croaks were so FUNNY. Their Street Fighter references make the whole thing better, not to mention I love their design as frogs.

The fight itself was fun and engaging. The first phase was easy enough, but it only got more challenging (ahem, tigers in phase three). But I loved these guys. The fight put a smile on my face the whole time. I found them so amusing. (Especially frog plus toad equals slot machine.)

Not to mention the theme. It's my favorite one. EVERY bit of Clip Joint Calamity is good. At the end of the day, my favorite fight, hands down.

While I call in the cops to come bee support!

The second phase with the babies throwing their milk and the rats was a fun addition that made the fight go from another boss to something I honestly found to be really cute. The following weather round and then standing ovation made it feel like I was taking part in a play rather than tearing my hair out over a fight. (I did this right after Dr. Kahl's Robot.)

I don't know, but I always love boss battles taking place on a stage. Also, her attacks from the 1st and 2nd phases didn't feel cheap (yes, including the baby bottles). The 3rd phase takes the cake since the whole thing is a reference and parody of Kefka from Final Fantasy.

This boss is very cool-looking, and every single phase of his fight is creative.

I love his design and knockout animation (where he gets stomped by King Dice). RIP Mr. Wheezy.

Some people say he is FREAKY, but some people say he is CUTE. Correct answer? He's a little creepy. His block minions are cute, though.
