In his post-HeelFaceTurn song, Saltbaker sings "it's better to bake in heaven than to cook in hell". While this lyric is referring to his newfound realization that it's better to be good than evil, it could also have a DoubleMeaning about how he used to ''literally'' cook in Inkwell Hell as the Devil's personal chef, which would be fitting since he was an EvilChef.

[[WMG: the King of Games is God's right hand man]]
He is the GoodCounterpart of King Dice, he has a castle in the clouds and one of his champions is literally a Bishop. Whilst it might seem strange having an executioner as a champion at first, it makes sense when remember that executions were often done in God's name.

[[WMG: The angel in the hidden boss stage represents the Devil before his fall]]
In religion, the Devil was one of God's angels who was caste down into hell for rebeling aginst God. Who's to say that didn't happen in Cuphead's universe?

[[WMG: There will be a Cuphead 3]]
Since the Delicious Last Course was confirmed in 2018 after the first game of Cuphead was released in 2017, it is likely that a third Cuphead game will be announced later.

[[WMG: Possible Title Names for Cuphead 3]]
Since the second game of Cuphead was named Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, there are some possibilities of what title names for Cuphead 3.
* The Delicious Last Course isn't a sequel, it's DLC. The next game would be Cuphead 2 if anything.

[[WMG: The Devil is the one who's been (begrudgingly) bringing people back to life]]
Similar to Saltbaker's community service, this is part of the punishment for the Devil. Since he's able to give Ms. Chalice a physical form in the base game's bad ending, in the good ending Cuphead and Mugman could've made the Devil use this power of his for good, not just for Ms. Chalice but for the other previously dead characters like Goopy Le Grande, Wally Warbles, Esther Winchester, etc. too. The exceptions are Blind Specter and some others who may prefer to stay in their ghost forms.

[[WMG: King Dice was [[HeelFaceReturn redeemed off-screen]]]]
As bad as King Dice was, (at least from what we've seen of him) he's still nowhere near as bad as Chef Saltbaker. So with Saltbaker doing a HeelFaceTurn, who's to say King Dice couldn't do the same?

[[WMG: Some bosses ate super mushrooms before their boss fights. The ones Chef Saltbacker eats before his second phase.]]
Esther Winchester is shown to be human-sized in the epiloge, yet is giant in her boss battle. The Anteater is unusualy massive, considering the bugs are all human-sized. The Chess Queen could be useing mushrooms, or she could just be a size-shifter. Chef Saltbaker starts the figth being giant sized. Maybe he ate a shroom before the boss figth, then ate another before his second phase.

The reason most people don't use them is eaither because they are so rare, or the effects only work on certain people.

[[WMG: The entire game takes place in something akin to a Dark World from VideoGame/DeltaRune.]]
Given the number of obviously object-based bosses in the game, I'm surprised nobody's said this yet.
What each character is in the Light World would be as follows:
* Cuphead is a cup, Mugman is a mug, and the Elder Kettle is a kettle.
* The Root Pack is a bunch of vegetables in the garden, obviously.
* Goopy le Grande is a blueberry that rotted and got all mushy.
* Hilda Berg is a wind rotatey thing on the roof.
* Cagney Carnation is a flower.
* Ribby and Croaks are two Lightner frogs.
* Baroness von Bon Bon's castle is a birthday cake in the sweets drawer of the pantry.
* Calix Animi/Ms. Chalice is a broken chalice whose pieces were scattered around the house. The Mausoleums are the drawers her pieces were put into.
* Beppi and his horses are balloon animals put up for the homeowner's birthday.
* Grim Matchstick is a blowtorch.
* Wally Warbles is a cuckoo clock. His son is a smaller cuckoo clock.
* Werner Werman is a Lightner mouse, and the cat animatronic he gets captured by is a cat-ears headband with a metal reinforcing piece inside.
* The Phantom Express is a toy train set that got boxed in with Halloween decorations when the homeowner moved houses and didn't get taken out.
* Chips Bettigan is a stack of poker chips, whereas Hopus Pocus is one of the cards from a poker's deck. Pip and Dot are dominoes, Mangosteen is the 8-ball from a pool table, Mr. Chimes is a cymbal monkey toy that was won from an arcade claw machine (and it still has the tag on the back of its head), Pirouletta is a roulette wheel, Mr. Wheezy is a cigar, the Tipsy Troop is the contents of the liquor drawer, Phear Lap is a mechanical horse-racer machine, and King Dice is a die. These are all fairly obvious choices.
