I have 40 recipe pieces but this upgrade seems too good to be true (from what I understand it to be) from what I think it is: after every time you time travel all upgrades on the first page of the shop are maxed out (so as soon as I time travel elastic cables, rocket slam, cakesposion, cake eater, and all those upgrades are fully maxed out permanently)
This doesn’t seem right and something is off about this, please tell me what it actually does

August 29th, 2019. My birthday. I get a gift card from my friend. 20$ X-Box gift card to be exact. I had no hesitation what game to buy. I’ve been over at my friend’s house plenty of times by then, and there’s one game I always enjoyed playing the most. Cuphead. I have played with him only Forest Follies and the Root Pack by that point, so I had no clue what I was going into.

I instantly loved the game. Root pack, done. Goopy,(took me a while to realize the tree was a level but) done. Hilda Berg, challenge but done. Ribby and Croaks, Done. I got to Cagney and; failed. Miserably. I could not for the life of me get to the final phase with more than 1 hp and then I died anyways. A week into the game and I was already like “yeah this isn’t for me, too hard” and then nothing, for a year.

I’m sure you’ve all heard of this little thing we had back in 2020 called the coronavirus. It was the start of school, or it was supposed to be. Everyone and their families were stuck at home for full days. Boredom was at its peak. While people’s main game during this time was Among Us, I dug up through games I had installed on the X-Box and found Cuphead again. Amazing, I get to suffer in a fun way instead of suffer in a sick way. Surprisingly Cagney was no longer very hard. It took me a couple attempts to beat the flower. Onto Isle 2. After running through Bon Bon, I came into my biggest challenge yet, Beppy. It took me days to beat him, but when I finally did I felt victory. Like nothing else I’ve felt while playing a game. And then the same exact thing happened with Djimmi. Days upon days but finally I beat the bastard.

And I’m sure you know the 2 next bosses are no joke. Wally warbles and Grim Matchstick. I started with Wally because I heard he was easier. I think over 50% of the times I’ve heard the words “you died” in my lifetime happened in the next 2 weeks. And sadly, again, I gave up…. until the delicious last course

A long, long time after I gave up on Wally, I see a video about Cuphead, it was a video I’m sure a lot of you have watched. It was Potato King’s Ranking EVERY Cuphead Weapon. Obviously today I know this ranking as one of the worst on YouTube, but back then it opened up my eyes to the fact there is a massive community that loves this game, and that the game is getting an addition. I didn’t even think twice about it, I hopped on the game and started grinding. Wally Warbles was defeated a week after that. That “A Knockout” was the best 2 words I’ve ever heard. From then I crowned Wally Warbles as my least favorite boss.

Grim was tough as well, but nothing could stand in the way between me and the devil. Grim, Brineybeard, Rumor, Sally, Phantom Express, Werner Werman, and even Cala Maria went down relatively Quickly. I got to the infamous Robot around a month after I beat Wally Warbles. I started with determination to finally get to the devil and bust him up.

Unfortunately we can all predict what happened. This guy felt unfair and impossible. I kept dying on the first phase and if I somehow made it through the last phase always got me. I tried for probably around 7 hours and saw no signs of progress. So I wanted to quit yet again. I went to scroll on a bit when I saw a gem of a video, one that will always have a special place in my heart. The video was based around the topic of the savior of the game, the one mechanic that changed lives. The Djimmi cheat.

First try. First try after using the Djimmi Cheat I beat Dr Kahl and his robot. It gave me motivation like no other to keep going (aka just use the cheat on King Dice and the Devil to beat them up fairly easily, 5 attempts max for each).

I have beat the game happy ending NO WAIT THATS 100% I HAVE 200% LEFT AND MUCH MORE MENTAL PAIN. So I take a small break. I’ve had enough Cuphead for the last month.

When I came back (I would say around 4-5 month later) we all know what it is time for. The DLC. I gotta say it was fairly easy. Chalice, heart ring, and crackshot were overpowered. Obviously king dice was a massive challenge but eventually I finished the game.

It was finished. I beat every boss in Cuphead (I also did the Paladin quest). Every run and gun, every mausoleum, every level in cuphead was completed. I soon learnt you need to beat all bosses on expert mode to finish the game, but I tried a couple and I was like yeah no that’s too much bye cuphead you’re one of my favorite games ever, but I’m gonna retire now.

Until the great July 2026. In 2024 I moved countries, and I came to visit my friends 2 years later. The same friend who introduced me to Cuphead was very welcoming and we had a great time. We wanted to play some games so we were like why not let’s play Cuphead. 3 days. 3 days we grinded so hard. And we beat every boss in grand 3 days. It was amazing. Anyways I come back home, and I had so much fun playing Cuphead that I decided I want to truly finish it once and for all. Unfortunately I lost my save file with all the bosses beaten, so I had to do it again. Wasn’t a problem, i probably beat all the bosses in a couple days. Now it was time for expert mode and 300%. I gotta tell you it was challenging. Way harder than normal. Took me about 3 weeks but it was finally done, I beat all the bosses on expert mode.

However, I still felt unfinished. Like it wasn’t enough, like it was too easy. So on August 18th I decided it’s time. To beat cuphead to its fullest. Everything S ranked, everything P ranked, all filters, all achievements, all everything.

P ranks were easy up until isle 3, but with determination I got all P ranks after 2 days. Isle 1 S ranks were easy, as well as some Isle 2 and 3 ones.

Fast forward a couple days to August 29th. Yesterday. My birthday. Exactly 7 years after I first got the game and I only have the Howling Aces, Chef Saltbaker, Cala Maria, and the one and only; Wally Warbles left to S rank. I think to myself I’ll do an S rank to finish up my birthday well. So I go to do Howling Aces and woah, second try. I’m like okay… sure, let’s do another one. Cala Maria. 4th try. I go to Chef Saltbaker and holy shit I’m on a roll. So I’m down to the last one. I started around 1 hour before midnight. I keep going and keep failing. I’m having no success. Is Wally gonna make me give up again?

2026, August 29th. 23:59/11:59PM. The picture that is in this post was taken. I’m straight up not lying. I can’t fucking believe this was even real. I beat the boss that was by far the hardest for me in all my playthroughs one minute before my birthday is over. And finish cuphead for good. With everything unlocked and achieved.

This took me so long to write, I started immediately after I beat it (so around an hour to write this). Thank you for reading this if you did you’re a legend. I’m still shaking from the fact I not only finished my favorite game of all time on my birthday, but also in a dramatic last minute S rank and a generational night that I will never forget.

I know the basic stuff like going up to avoid Cala Maria’s lazer and stuff like that but actually real helpful tips that only get used at a high level.

I also added the king of games bosses (all are the same so the knight represents them)

First of all wanted to mention that the bosses are NOT organized within the tiers. Sally could have taken me longer than Ribby and Croaks although she’s lower on the tier.

I gotta say I’m not surprised I first tried those 5 bosses. Easy as hell.

I was SUPER proud of myself I beat king dice after only 1 stupid death. I used heart ring and I was like hm this isn’t working so I switched to divine relic and it was easy. Not surprised at the rest of the tier.

Third tier is CRAZY I did NOT expect Beppy to be as hard as he was and The Devil and Dr Kahl took me way less attempts than i anticipated (I S ranked Dr. Kahl without even trying to get the S rank). I also expected Esther to take a bit longer. Rest of the tier makes sense.

2nd tier is also mental. I expected Chef Saltbaker to take WAY longer and Howling Aces to take like 3 attempts max. Howling aces became one of my favorite bosses because of expert mode. Wally and Grim make sense. Grim was really fun but fuck Wally warbles.

Now the biggest surprise to me, CALA MARIA TOOK 21 ATTEMPTS DUDE. I was not expecting that at ALL. I always thought the boss is stupid because it literally takes away your ability to move, while 439 eels shoot 73 projectiles at you (each) (numbers not exaggerated) I thought she would be the boss that would end my run but out of nowhere I just got to the final phase with 5 hp and won. (Fun fact my friend suggested listening to stupid ass music to calm down and relax so I can lock in better, so I put thick of it by KSI and beat it the first try after that 💔)

I was having my doubts recently but it’s solidified for me now, Cuphead is the greatest game of all time!

This game is up there for me in my top 5 and probably even top 3 favorite games ever. The music the story the vibes the looks the music the movement the music THE MUSIC.
Everything about this game is near perfect. A lot of people told me Will of the Wisp is better and I find that hard to believe because it doesn’t get much better than this.
This game rivals some of the best games I’ve ever played in basically every category.
I can’t wait to play Will of the Wisp, try both games on hard difficulty as well as 100% both of them.

Most enjoyable p2 push I ever had. Didn’t feel like a chore at all, just felt like playing a sick ass brawler

I fear my obsession with getting all the hypercharge icons for my favorite brawlers is gonna lead me to be broke

I think the name Bolt has more meaning than what we think. I think B.O.L.T means:

B=?
O=one
L=last
T=Tree

I think the tree ornament on bolt has a deeper meaning. Perhaps bolt is somehow connected to a tree in some way.

The B could stand for something like beloved (maybe bolt is originally made from a sacred rare tree but was evolved into a super high technology robot made for destruction by speed.)

Or maybe the B stands for bound (maybe bolt has a secret connection to a certain tree which is why he has to wear the ornament.)

Or it could mean something like blooming (maybe bolt is the last hope for trees in Starr Park or maybe for a special type of tree that can potentially also has lore into it.

It could also be stuff like beacon, beyond, or even something more dark like broken. I tried thinking of any word with B that could have lore. What do you think?

BREAKING WALLS WHILE IN SUPER FARM. FREE KILLS

Overall: 7.5/10

I thought it would just be some goofy family friendly tv show made for kids to bring new players into the game. Luckily it wasn’t like that, and I think it nailed it in terms for the audience I’m part of (teens that have been playing since lockdown).

I think it did everything either good or decent, but barely anything was amazing. It’s not that different from any normal murder mystery (except the among us part)

The plot twists were good but weren’t anything special, I enjoyed them but I didn’t have my hands up in the air like the picture.

I think the relationships were good. I enjoyed brown and yellow a lot, and I think black and cyan was good too. I think red and purple was pretty good tbf, but the backstory was a little lackluster to me.

The voice acting wasn’t bad at all (I feel like that might be controversial)

The characters themselves: most of them I would say are a solid 6-8/10. I think the only characters that I would rate below a 6 is white and blue (cause we didn’t see much of them) and brown because except that walk of defeat after yellow’s death he barely had voice lines. The character that stuck to me the most and one of the only 9/10 imo is yellow. I think there were very minimal small flaws with yellow and had better characteristics and moments than most characters.

I liked how the show has lore. That was a very big plus for me.

Moments I wanna highlight as very good: Orange getting caught and voted, purple realize it’s green, lime’s weapon and salt, the very beginning of the first episode, the intro, black working with cyan after death, and some more I probably forgot.

I have more I want to say but I’ll just leave it to questions you ask me. I will try my best to answer to all of them.

So why a 7.5/10 and not an 8+? Simple: like I said, it wasn’t anything super special. I’ve seen better murder mysteries that I would give 9s and 8s. (If I never would have watched a murder mystery in my life this could easily have been a 8 and higher)
