Added DiffLines:

* In the DLC, you fight the Howling Aces, Canteen Hughes (The one responsible teaching you to fly) actually steps up to the plate and helps the Cup Brothers and Ms. Chalice in the fight, taking care of the flying for you while you focus on the enemies. One of the few, if only, times you have a resident willingly step into the line of fire to help you in your journey.
** Not only that, he's not initially from that island, meaning he went out of his way to arrive to help.

Added DiffLines:

* The DLC bosses have some surprisingly friendly minions. Glumstone's gnomes, for example, back him up with no question, and eagerly cheer him during the puppet show portion of the battle; by the same token, it's sweet to see Mortimer's followers cheering him on every time he switches phase. Even the Moonshine Mob are kind of heartwarming; criminal bugs that they are, they support each other throughout the fight!
* During the Howling Aces fight, the female Saluki will fly by in the background while you're fighting her husband and children, firing off homing hydrants to act as artillery support. Furthermore, while she takes her defeat in her normal phase very gracefully, during the secret phase version of her fight, she's much sadder- because her kids are there, and also got hurt during the fight! She really loves her family.

** The heartwarming cherry on the top of this game that can be seen is that [[spoiler:Ms. Chalice is shown in her living form while celebrating, not in her ghost form. She said that she would find a way eventually to get back to living, and she apparently did]].

Added DiffLines:

* At the end of "Delicious Last Course" [[spoiler:Ms. Chalice is more than willing to stay as a ghost if it means no one else has to die for her to live again. She also proudly says that Cuphead and Mugman are her two bestest friends.]]
* The Epilogue of the DLC [[spoiler:Chef Saltbaker is given community service for his crime. During the course of it, he slowly but surely makes an honest attempt to reform, and it sticks in the end, realizing that his baking skills can bring people together. In the end, he rebuilds his bakery and invites everyone, including Cuphead, Mugman and Ms. Chalice, to a celebration, now completely reformed.]]

* In the final phase of Wally Warbles’ fight, Wally is takes over the fight once his son is defeated. Even though he’s on a stretcher and probably exhausted himself during the first half, he’s still willing to come to his son’s aid when called upon. The paramedics also assist him in the fight and judging by the look they give Cuphead, they probably think him beating up Wally Warbles Jr. is terrible.

* Captain Brineybeard made his terrible deal with the Devil. [[SapientShip His ship]], enraged that you've come this far to claim his contract, fights on his behalf. This happens as well with Dr. Kahl, except [[PerspectiveFlip he's not the one who made the deal]], his giant robot was. So the mad scientist is fighting for his mechanical creation's sake.

Fortunately, in the third phase, he's back as Bacchus, nodding and smiling as she does her best to smite you]].

* Another meta-example is that when ''Cuphead'' was announced as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8agz7O5DxRM the winner for Best Art Direction at The Game Awards 2017]], the Moldenhauer brothers arrived to shake hands with Creator/GuillermoDelToro and Creator/HideoKojima before delivering a speech that is both SugarWiki/{{Funny|Moments}} and Heartwarming.

* Ollie Bulb is the one member of the Root Pack who will not directly attack you even as you pepper him with bullets; almost makes you want to spare him, huh?

The radish that follows, however, is far less friendly...]]

* The fact that the majority of ''Cuphead'' was the Moldenhauer brothers paying homage to the style of cartoons and videogames they grew up loving, because they genuinely had fond memories for them, is simply beautiful, especially when viewed from their perspective - surely you have at least one specific thing you love that inspires you?

** The same happened when the game was announced as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcCsVszwwOQ the winner for the Best Debut Indie Game award]], but this time, the Moldenhauer brothers brought along their entire family for the award. Once again, Chad delivered a heartfelt speech thanking the staff at Microsoft and everyone for their help into making the game, after which Jared added a hint about buying indie games, which is a bit of a Funny Moment in itself.

* In good ending, the boys then went home and told the residents that they are now free from their debt. They are praised for their bravery and an all-day celebration began. The boys promised to never get into trouble again and succeeded until the next time.
