'''Cuphead''' ({{ja|カップヘッド|Kappuheddo}}, ''Cuphead'') is the eponymous main character of the indie-developed run-and-gun platformer, {{uvm3|Cuphead}}. He is an anthropomorphic teacup whose design pays homage to vintage cartoon characters like {{s|wikipedia|Felix the Cat}} and {{s|wikipedia|Mickey Mouse}}. | '''Cuphead''' ({{ja|カップヘッド|Kappuheddo}}, ''Cuphead'') is the eponymous main character of the indie-developed run-and-gun platformer, {{uvm3|Cuphead}}.

Cuphead lives in the Inkwell Isles with his brother, Mugman, and their guardian, the Elder Kettle. | Cuphead lives in the Inkwell Isles with his brother, Mugman, and their guardian, the Elder Kettle. Despite the Elder Kettle's warnings, the brothers wandered far away from their home and found themselves at the Devil's Casino. Their winning streak impressed the casino's owner, the Devil, who tempted them by betting all of the casino's riches, promising to take away the brothers' souls should they lose. Blinded by greed and ignorant of his brother's warning, Cuphead rolled the dice, but ultimately lost the gamble. With the brothers pleading for their lives spared, the Devil cut a deal with them, letting them live should they retrieve the soul contracts of the debtors who previously gambled with him. After receiving a potion from the Elder Kettle that allowed them to fire bullets through finger snaps, the brothers set off to collect the soul contracts, encountering the Devil's cronies along the way. After Cuphead and Mugman returned all of the contracts, the Devil offers them the choice of handing the contracts to him and have them join his team. After refusing, they defeat the Devil and burn the soul contracts, releasing the debtors from his grasp. | ||

Cuphead serves as the basis of the Cuphead Hat and Outfit DLC Mii Costume for the {{SSBU|Mii | Cuphead serves as the basis of the Cuphead Hat and Outfit DLC Mii Costume for the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}. He is the second independent game character to appear as a Mii costume, following [[Sans]]. Upon downloading the costume, the song ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Other|Floral Fury}}'' is unlocked as an additional music track in the "[[List of SSBU Music (Other series)|Other]]" category. Like Sans, Cuphead appears as a fully modeled character; his "mask" is just his head, instead of a mask with the Mii's face visible like other character-based costumes. Much like in his game, his "gun" is simply his hand in reference to the myriad of attacks that Cuphead performs by making a gun formation with his fingers. He was revealed during the ''{{h2|Mr. Sakurai Presents|Mr. Sakurai Presents "Byleth"}}'' presentation on January 14, 2020. | ||
During the reveal trailer, the Mii Gunner representing Cuphead is first seen in the opening with an imitation of the storybook-style opening of ''Cuphead'', with the screenshot closely matching to its first "page".

The screenshot features a {{SSBU|Villager}} using a bug net on the [[Tortimer Island]] stage with Tortimer in the background, with Villager representing Mugman, the stage referencing Cuphead and Mugman's home on Inkwell Isle One, and Tortimer representing their caretaker, Elder Kettle. The Mii Gunner is next seen shooting his finger gun on the [[Dream Land]] stage, with the stage referencing the forest levels on Inkwell Isle One. The Mii Gunner is next seen battling {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}, a blue {{SSBU|Kirby}}, a green {{SSBU|Charizard}}, and {{SSBU|Falco}} on the [[Mushroomy Kingdom]] stage, with the first three fighters each representing Cagney Carnation (whose theme song, "Floral Fury", is the track included with the costume), Goopy Le Grande, Grim Matchstick, and Wally Warbles, while the stage references the sepia colour palette and grained filter of ''Cuphead''. The ending image features the Mii Gunner on the [[New Pork City]] stage, referencing the Devil's Casino, which is used in his spirit battle. | ||
The Mii Gunner's moveset in the reveal trailer is similar to the weapons from the game: [[Bomb Drop]] mirrors the Lobber, and forward smash and forward aerial both mirror the Peashooter. Additionally, the screen's scrolling, the Mii Gunner's usage of projectiles, and the usage of Stamina mode all reference the "Run-and-Gun" minigames that appear in the game. | The Mii Gunner's moveset in the reveal trailer is similar to the weapons from the game: [[Bomb Drop]] mirrors the Lobber, and forward smash and forward aerial both mirror the Peashooter.
