His colors are a little more duller, his gloves are yellow all the time, and his skin has a tannish tint to it. In The Cuphead Show!, Cuphead's appearance is the same, with a few differences. In some artwork, he is also shown to have fire rising out of his head.
His red colors change to purple and he now has a biten straw and evil-looking yellow eyes with black and red pupils, a maniacal smile, and sharp teeth. If the answer "Yes" is chosen in the cut scene with the Devil before his battle-triggering the bad ending-his appearance dramatically changes. When used as a Super Art, his ghost is muscular and his expression is determined. In the center of Cuphead's ghost's chest, there is a pink heart which can be parried to resurrect him. His shorts and legs are now replaced with a ghost tail, his straw is now a halo, and his expression is that of melancholy. His ghost still has the cup head and gloves, but his appearance is now a ghostly blue. As an anthropomorphic cup, his skin is a light gray and made of porcelain, so enough hits could break and kill him, leaving behind his apparition. To emulate the way characters were drawn in the game’s time period, his coloring is inconsistent he is sometimes depicted wearing red or yellow boots, and/or yellow gloves instead. He is mostly seen wearing a black, long-sleeve shirt, white gloves, red shorts (slightly similar to Mickey Mouse's iconic short overalls), and brown shoes. He always has a determined expression in the face of danger.
His face consists of eyes that are very close together with black pie-cut pupils, and a small red nose. As his name suggests, Cuphead's head is a wide cup with what seems to be some sort of liquid inside, topped with a red and white striped straw.
