    I lovre Saltbaker's character, honestly, even for how simple he is. He seems like he was always just a good guy, a humble baker. He states in the epilogue that the "power got to his head", implying that the idea of baking the wonder tart, allowing him to take over the astral plane and become the "greatest baker in the lands", drove him insane. Great character arc at the end, if even a small one. Glad that damned wondertart doesn't have hold over him anymore.

      Let us compare shall we?
      Devil's attacks that use his minions are smiling, needless to say they enjoy working for their boss.
      Saltbaker's attacks fully consists of the ingrediente you collected, and they are all seen screaming, crying, or suffering in agony.
      The Devil is evil and he keeps that persona throughout, not bother to hide it.
      Saltbaker is dark in the inside, but is nice outside, showing he is manipulative and can get anyone to do the work for him.
      The Devil peels off his own body to enter a bigger body. Needless to say he hates you to the bone.
      Saltbaker, even after you managed to shatter his body, the salt around him can be seen as his very soul, and if that isn't enough his heart later comes up, which in the Cuphead universe, is seen as their soul. The salt is the ghost, the heart is the soul. So he hates you, even after death and to the soul. It makes it sound like a Kirby Soul boss.
      So who sounds more heartless?

And they way your supposed to think he’s the good guy trying to help all this time turns out to be a sadistic salt shaker. Props to MDHR for this BEAST of a boss!

It's freaking amazing.

    2. The second phase, he’s slowly cracking both psychically and mentally.
    He’s got you in the palm of his hand, laughing maniacally. You’re in some serious shit now.
    3. Phase 3, his bakery is destroyed, his body is destroyed, but his insides are still out to kill you.
    Phase 4 a hole opens signifying that this is the last stand, you lose and it’s over. His very heart and soul are out to get you due his pride being too great! The music has changed to a sense of hope and courage. You have the fate of the world in your hands, it’s up to you to make it a good one.
    When you beat him, the fanfare signifies you conquering the ultimate foe. It’s over. You’ve finished Cuphead. The final chapter concludes as the future of Studio MDHR looks bright, and your excitement awaits for what they will do in the future.
    Thank you. 🙏

    One thing I wish was implemented into the game was Saltbaker’s final heart phase to be a parry-a-thon. You could only damage him by parrying. This would be a nice callback to the king’s challenges.

    I never though a 1930’s cartoon could be so epic yet here we are 90+ years later.

    The fact the embodiment of salt is more powerful than Satan himself is hysterical

    It’s sad seeing live food getting ready to die by this mad murderer.

    I have a really hard time identifying the music behind all the sound effects, but for the fight(exclusively the parts in this video), are both of the songs 'the finishing touch' and 'baking the wondertart' included or just one. If just one which one, and where does the other one play, and if both where is the transition between the songs here?

      From what I can tell its ONLY "Baking the Wondertart" but it seems it loops and transitions parts according to which phase.
