"The Cuphead Show!" S1: E1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Inkwell Isles

Per the intro song's lyrics, the Inkwell Isles are located just up the coast nearly 29 miles. Prior to any DLC, the "Cuphead" video game included four overworlds, namely Inkwell Isles I-III and Inkwell Hell. In both the show and the video game Cuphead and his brother live on Inkwell Isle I.

Answer: Mugman

Cuphead and Mugman are both portrayed as anthropomorphized teacups. Cuphead is older and is red and white while Mugman is blue and white. The two characters were created and designed by Jared and Chad Moldenhauer while working for StudioMDHR.

Answer: Pancakes

The Elder Kettle quickly whips up some pancakes and tosses it to the table where Cuphead and Mugman are sitting. Cuphead easily catches his pancakes while Mugman's hit the wall and drop to the floor. Comically, Cuphead also takes all of the remaining syrup before passing it to Mugman.

Answer: Painting a fence

Not surprisingly, Cuphead and Mugman are not thrilled about painting the fence. Cuphead further voices his frustration about other tasks that Elder Kettle had them do before like milking the goat and patching the roof. To speed things up Cuphead puts the paint in a cannon and shoots it at the fence.

Answer: Carnevil

When Cuphead sees the Carnevil, he cannot contain his excitement and he coerces his brother Mugman to go with him. At first they have a great time gorging themselves on food and enjoying the rides. The pilot episode of "The Cuphead Show!" was titled "Carn-Evil" which is a fitting name considering that the carnival Cuphead and Mugman attended was not what it seemed.

Answer: Their souls have been taken.

After going on rides and eating, Cuphead notices a game called Soulball (similar to Skeeball) and he excels at it making numerous shots in the middle spot. However, at the same time Mugman notices others at the Carnevil walking around lifelessly. These characters had also played Soulball and once they lost their souls were taken by the Devil who proudly has a tracker showing that he has 'served' 6,299,465,117 customers.

Answer: His brother hits him causing an errant throw.

The Devil notices that his customers served tracker has stopped counting so he goes up to the surface. There he sees Cuphead constantly winning and showing off at Soulball. When Mugman sees the Devil he is scared and tries to get Cuphead's attention by hitting him.

However, when he hits him, Cuphead unintentionally throws the ball and it lands in the loser spot and Cuphead's soul nearly gets taken.

Answer: A pitchfork that shoots fire

After Mugman rescues Cuphead's soul the brothers run away from the Devil. The Devil chases them with his pitchfork and shoots fire at them as they run around the Carnevil. Mugman then has an idea to stand in front of the Soulball game in the hopes that the Devil will miss them and destroy the Soulball game releasing the trapped souls back to the lifeless Carnevil patrons.

Answer: False

Once the brothers arrive home Cuphead is confident that they have escaped the Devil for good. However, his brother Mugman is very worried and keeps stating that 'the Devil wants your soul'. While Cupman is rash and impetuous, Mugman tries to be cautious and patient.
