The entire King's Leap challenge has direct inspiration from what the Airship was going to be: A series of minibosses that are defeated by parrying in some form, and are somewhat a form of training so you can get used to the mechanic.
Me seeing the Light concept for the first time: "A boss that just stands there with six lazers, pfft, that's silly, I can see why they scrapped it." Me seeing the second phase of Moonshine Mob: "Oh my God it's a better concept than I thought!"
One of the skills of a game designer is being able to look past incompleteness and see what something would actually be like when finished. It takes practice.
@@benma1116 To be fair, the original concept was meant to be one of the mini-boss fights in the King Dice battle, so in that context I'd say it would've worked. The issue, to my knowledge, was not finding a good thematic look that fits a casino
Did you know that if you talk to the cactus girl, she gives you a “quest” where you have to fight all the bosses in order of their names on the list, and when you beat all the bosses and talk to her she gives you a color filter only for chalice
It's always awesome whenever developers bring back unused/cut/beta content! I really love it, since it's great for the devs who get to finally implement their darlings instead of killing them permanently, and it's great for the fans who are interested in said content being restored 😄 I hope more devs do this in the future 🥰
@@Anubonek Actually, no. "Kill your darlings," or "Murder your darlings" is a phrase used in certain creative spaces when you have ideas that you love and have worked hard to create or flesh out but are actively harming the project simply by being kept in, usually because they don't fit the overall theming and would be better fit for another work. The phrase is particularly used in writing, but applies to game design as well. In this case, these unused bosses or charms or what have you that didn't make the cut are the "darlings" that were "murdered," but brought back by being fully fleshed out and added as DLC.
This is the studio's first game. In their final cuphead interview before the DLC launch they said they're moving on from cuphead. But they are still keeping the boss formula moving forward, just wanting to bring light to underrated art styles. So we still may see some of the boss ideas
Personally I think that the unused king card bossfight was reworked into the entirety of the chess-themed tournament and I think that Pachi-Pachi had some elements reworked into the anteater phase of the mafia bugs bossfight
I’m pretty sure Pachi-Pachi was reworked into the the final phase of Mortimer Freeze. Look at the eye color, and how it functions with the lasers. It’s the same as Pachi-Pachi.
I watched EasySpeezy's stream of him playing the DLC for the first time and when I saw the spider, I was so excited! And the record/sound wave attack too!! Gosh, I love this game, I'm so happy this stuff came back.
Me seeing the Light reimplementation for the first time: "Oh, it's a bee girl with a record player." "Oh, you can't touch the red notes, that's cool." "Wait, wasn't that an unused boss?" "Oh my god, they managed to make it an actual thing."
I remember watching that video about unused stuff in Cuphead. So when I saw both the spider and light boss in the dlc when I played it I screamed for joy and almost cried, I was so happy to see them return
I don’t know why but it makes me so happy how they added stuff back Also the animation in this DLC is incredible! And I was not expecting to see the Ice King immediately when I clicked on this video lol
Besides the appearance, they also made the fight from being another plane fight, to a more unique one with multiple floors, and the repurposed light boss makes it even more unique and cool too
Throughout the fight against the demon and the angel, the skeleton of the devil can be seen in the background. The skeleton is actually holding up the platform that you fight on in the battle with his hands, just like in the unused devil animation!
I think the delicious last course was meant to be just another part of the base game originally but all of it was scrapped and has now been remade and polished
I actually had a thought of chess bosses in the dlc had pawns, knight, bishops, rooks, and a queen, the reason there was no king piece added was because of the unused boss “King”
I wish Coin-Op Bop came back, too, but I guess it was sort of irrelevant with the DLC, also, the Pachinko Boss would have never come into the DLC anyway, because pachinko machines didn’t even exist back when Cuphead was set. That’s also why he was scrapped.
Pachi-Pachi is most likely never gonna be used as himself, a reskin is a maybe, but just himself, prob. not. Unless, they make a DLC where the head into the future or something, remember, the time period the platter heads are in is before the time of arcade machines, so... that lil' blue tent might hold a time machine or something else entirely.
i despise run n guns, but MAN, i REALLY wanted to see coin op bop in the dlc. the idea sounded so cool and would’ve been a huge shift from what the usual run n guns are. but with flying gentleman, the light, and the airship with a lot more than just jelly the octopus being added to the game, i can’t complain.
I noticed the reuse of the flying gentlemen and the light boss the first time I saw the Moonshiners Edit:Same thing for Jellyfish being the predecessor to the Knight
A intresting thing with the knight is I believe to a extent it is a redesigned boss Back when the DLC was still in the early works I recall the cuphead insta doing a contest for people to make a boss that was themed around Fortnite for a collab And I believe the knight is that boss redesigned if we look at his defeat text as it does feel out of place for a old fashioned knight but if we acknowledge it potentially used to have ties to Fortnite it makes sense
I’m pretty sure Pachi-Pachi was reworked into the the final phase of Mortimer Freeze. Look at the eye color, and how it functions with the lasers. It’s the same as Pachi-Pachi.
As someone who has watched your videos for a long time, I noticed the Light, Flying Gentleman, and Jelly similarities almost instantly. Please be proud of me
How MHDR made some of the DLC fights MHDR: We’re out of ideas, let’s bring back some of our concepts. Concepts: You’re really gonna bring us back? MHDR: Yes but on 1 condition, you change your designs. Concepts: We’ll do anything to return.
The first few phases of mortimer freeze acts very similarly to what we saw of the bat boss, not to mention the fridge is literally just a reworked coffin
I’m loved this game but I hate that I have been so excited for it for a long time just to beat it in 3 hours😂 but I still got a lot of stuff to do in the dlc
I already knew about all of the reimplemente content in the dlc and trust me we never thought we see light become real but the triple laser and converge power was probably a noticeable one since both the new version and the unused version have the same properties between the 2 and someone said that the arena for the secret boss in the graveyard might be a new version of the bat demon somewhat but I'm not so sure
What I also think is that the 2nd phase was a reference to the frog boss fight! And he walking to the side was meant to be the devs head or the barrels! Edit: nvm I see he mention it in the game
I didn’t know this until today but during when I was fighting Cala Maria I used a special with the bomb (secondary) and it has a different special than the other one
Wide shot =converge Turret=crackshot ex attack Shield=Shield pal The flying gentleman=moonshine mob The light=gramophone moonshine mob The King's leap=the airship
What if they made a new dlc With a new island called "poker night isle/game isle" that adds an arcade stage, patchi patchi, that wierd card boss, and unused weapons and charms. (And maybe a surprise return from king dice 😮) It feels like a good idea to me, what about yall? What do you guys think?

Theyre also both in the air
Or chess?
@@marioplushonyoutube1484 chess and airship
3:27 I think the entire concept of the King's bosses, not just the knight, all revolving solely on parries was inspired by the unused octopus
The first one sucked on co-op
Nah, all of them are based on a game called chess
@@thedumbass2943
yes ofc but that’s obvious, the “only parries” was inspired by octopus who went unused
@@catalyst539 did you read his name?
@@thedumbass2943 it's possible for things to be two references at once

They put the lasers from the light

I would like them rather do something new (like they mostly did in DLC) than rehashing old ideas tbh
@@flyingdoggy9613 but pachi pachi was so late into development
The spider looked familiar but when they made those lazers it was unmistakable that "the light" was not forgotten.
Insert hollow knight reference here
I was so happy when they added a lot of the unused content it was really fun to look and see how they were implemented

Art really changes games
One of the skills of a game designer is being able to look past incompleteness and see what something would actually be like when finished. It takes practice.
Also cause it’s a part of a boss instead of being a boss itself. A boss which only has 2 ways it can damage you is boring.

Another 2d game, MapleStory has a similar boss with rotating lasers in phase 1

YO THATS SICK! I cant wait to see what kind of bosses they will make for their next game!
I wonder what other styles they'll mimic next. 80's cartoons? stopmotion animation? Superhero Comic Books?

At 3:19, the lady bug is dancing in sync with the background music
2:39 also in cuphead dlc. they named him charlie left leg. this close to the name poppy playtime chapter 2.
3:47 It's likely that the concept of a parry only boss lead to the entire King's Gauntlet as a whole
Me seeing the Light reimplementation for the first time: "Oh, it's a bee girl with a record player."
"Oh, you can't touch the red notes, that's cool."
"Wait, wasn't that an unused boss?"
"Oh my god, they managed to make it an actual thing."

Can't believe they re-added The Light, the Triple Laser, the Airship, the Flying Gentleman, the Turret, and the Shield.
2:33
I knew something about that character felt familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it until you pointed it out in your video.
It's a massive shame that Pachi-Pachi and Coin-Op Bop never made it back into the game, but oh well.
I don’t know why but it makes me so happy how they added stuff back
Also the animation in this DLC is incredible! And I was not expecting to see the Ice King immediately when I clicked on this video lol

That didn't take long! Great work as usual, Tetra.
This was my genuine reaction to the second phase of the spider boss, "HEY ITS THE MECHANIC I KNOW!!!!"
I wonder how Flying Gentleman felt when he heard he was finally being added back into the game
My man was so angry about getting scrapped that he literally joined the mafia 😔
But then he basically gets plastic surgery and gets a different outfit.
@@Jethcon LMAO
@@JethconDitto on the light.
when i saw the boss in the bug boss, i was pretty happy that the unused boss was added
Throughout the fight against the demon and the angel, the skeleton of the devil can be seen in the background. The skeleton is actually holding up the platform that you fight on in the battle with his hands, just like in the unused devil animation!
I think the delicious last course was meant to be just another part of the base game originally but all of it was scrapped and has now been remade and polished
Now is the boss saying hey or tetrabit 0:04
I love how synced this is 4:33
As soon as I saw the first and second phase of the spider fight, I KNEW that this video was on the way and I couldn’t be happier honestly.

RIP unused characters.
hey, has any body noticed that the "delicious last course" literrally has an acronym of DLC?
I’m glad the devs added the content into the game that was unused! The content is really good too, keep it up!
Pachi-Pachi is most likely never gonna be used as himself, a reskin is a maybe, but just himself, prob. not.

"Coming in 2019"
2022 : The new Cuphead DLC thats in short its DLC is so nice

Gonna be honest as soon as the dlc came out I instantly said “tetras gonna make a video about it.” So I freakin called it!
A reason why its called bootleg boogie is because it uses a few scrapped attacks and animation like the dancing fly wasp thing!
The old 2nd phase for the devil was added, but it was just a skeleton in the background in the secret boss fight in the dlc.
I’m pretty sure Pachi-Pachi was reworked into the the final phase of Mortimer Freeze. Look at the eye color, and how it functions with the lasers. It’s the same as Pachi-Pachi.
When I first saw the light return, I couldn't wait for this video to come back
You might have a point with the Jellyfish Knight connection. I just wish MDHR figured out a way to reincorporate the Airship theme.
the converge weapon previously used a unused sound before the dlc (you covered it in your lost bits video)
As someone who has watched your videos for a long time, I noticed the Light, Flying Gentleman, and Jelly similarities almost instantly. Please be proud of me
When I first saw Grayfruit go through the cut content like over a year ago, I instantly recognized the three layered spider fight. It’s so cool
Honestly I get why it took so long, I think they said they draw everything BY HAND. Even with hundreds of animators that would take forever
OML how did I not even notice that the unused stuff got used
Glad you made a video on this!
How MHDR made some of the DLC fights
MHDR: We’re out of ideas, let’s bring back some of our concepts.
Concepts: You’re really gonna bring us back?
MHDR: Yes but on 1 condition, you change your designs.
Concepts: We’ll do anything to return.
Fun fact: Parrying the Crackshot Turret shoots the turret toward the closest enermy
The first few phases of mortimer freeze acts very similarly to what we saw of the bat boss, not to mention the fridge is literally just a reworked coffin
Gentlemen is back
And he has a better fancy suit
Imagine they made a dlc called “Lost lunch” and it’s add finalized versions of unfinished content.
Cup head can be heard saying : Aw come on in the plane Bit when he drops the cookie
Mugman can be heard saying: Oh Ha!
One found bit: The Converge shot's sound effect is one of the sounds you showed in the original first lost bits video
It's such a shame that Pachi-Pachi, Card, and Jelly the Octopus never made it in the DLC :'(
Yeah 😭
Technically jelly did or at least the mechanics did
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed that the king’s challenges were a redo of jelly the octopus mechanic
I feel like Moonshine Mob is the easiest out of all DLC Bosses
When I saw the spider in the DLC I was sooo happy😁
He was my favorite design for the game. When he was scrap. But now he finally in the game.
I think the air castle was a rework of the airship
You didn't mention that converge uses a once scrapped sound
I’m loved this game but I hate that I have been so excited for it for a long time just to beat it in 3 hours😂 but I still got a lot of stuff to do in the dlc
Honestly the light really got me, this game is on crack bringing back crazy wired stuff and I love it
I thought the bootleg boogie was awesome. We got the spider and the light reused for a real level! Fantastic.
The unused weapon sound is also re-added with the triple shot if you listen closely
It’s so cool to see some bosses made it in the dlc that were cut
I already knew about all of the reimplemente content in the dlc and trust me we never thought we see light become real but the triple laser and converge power was probably a noticeable one since both the new version and the unused version have the same properties between the 2 and someone said that the arena for the secret boss in the graveyard might be a new version of the bat demon somewhat but I'm not so sure
Hope this dlc is loved enough for a new game/second dlc
I'm just now seeing this Cuphead game, and the mountain man guy is awesome! I remember reading a cuphead book on him
Even though this is a year old, the sound for the converge weapon was originally gonna be unused aswell, as tetrabit already covered
Can you post a full version of your outro song? Its honestly a bop
theres previously unused sounds that are now found with using the converge weapon
If you talk about everything in the DLC,you gotta mention Game Djimmi,who gives you 9 LIVES.
Flying gentleman my beloved
although he isn't flying anymore
hes just gentleman
I'm happy I remembered the squid because I thought of all the fights that reminded me of lost bits
StudioMDHR is truly a blessing
Hear me out : the smaller spider is the flying gentleman's son
What I also think is that the 2nd phase was a reference to the frog boss fight! And he walking to the side was meant to be the devs head or the barrels! Edit: nvm I see he mention it in the game
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.
I didn’t know this until today but during when I was fighting Cala Maria I used a special with the bomb (secondary) and it has a different special than the other one
There is also another thing that got reimplemented. The arc shots stars are now in the chaser ex.
Wide shot =converge
Turret=crackshot ex attack
Shield=Shield pal
The flying gentleman=moonshine mob
The light=gramophone moonshine mob
The King's leap=the airship
I immediately recognized the Light boss in Moonshine Mob phase 1 right away!
The crackshot’s ex move is called P. Turret.
What if they made a new dlc With a new island called "poker night isle/game isle" that adds an arcade stage, patchi patchi, that wierd card boss, and unused weapons and charms. (And maybe a surprise return from king dice 😮)
It feels like a good idea to me, what about yall? What do you guys think?
