History Headscratchers / Cuphead

So Dr.Kahl didn't make a deal with the devil but his robot did? How and why?

----

* So if all the bosses are on The Devil's pay role, that means they all at some point made deals with them. This begs the question; what did they ask for in return?

** Probably all the crazy powers, equipment and transformations we see them using. This would explain why they're so huge during gameplay, but look relatively normal-sized in the ending. They've been {{Depower}}ed due to their contracts being rendered invalid.

* In Beppi the Clown's battle, after his second phase, where he turns into a giant balloon man, he goes back to his normal form for the third phase before transforming again for the final phase. It seems like a mistake, but there's no way the devs could have missed that. So, why and how does Beppi go back to his normal form after transforming once?

* Cuphead and Mugman fight Ribby and Croaks in a high-class club...for flies. I have so many questions. For starters, what are the frogs even doing there? Looking for their lunch?

* Why do Cuphead and Mugman work for the Devil anyways? Apparently, all the other people who are in the Devil´s debt got away pretty easily if it weren´t for Cuphead and Mugman going after them. So if Cuphead and Mugman just -don´t- hunt them down and go their merry ways, what could the Devil do, given that he seemingly couldn´t collect all those other debts himself and also seems to lack other enforcers? It just seems like the Devil lacks a proper way of putting pressure on the Cupheads.

* In the last phase of Baroness von Bon Bon's battle, there is no transition between the Baroness standing on top of the castle and her going back into the castle, and vice versa. Considering how much detail was put into everything else we've seen so far, this single instance of LimitedAnimation is a little jarring. What happened there? That's not going to be in the final version, right?

* Where did Cuphead and Mugman's FingerGun power come from?

* Why do the main characters, Cuphead and Mugman, have cups for heads? Cups that they themselves drink out of, no less. Why didn't the devs create a standard Funny Animal character instead? Surprisingly, this has never been officially addressed.
