“Oh my God, there are many! It’s probably one of the most fun things about creating games. They’re everywhere. It’s actually one of Jared’s favorite things – one of our creative partners, because he likes to respect his favorite games. It’s not even necessarily “Being something huge, but maybe just something like a background element. When people find themselves, it’s so fun to see their expressions,” says Molenhauer.
“People are axles”
Aside from Street Fighter, the original Cuphead is known for all sorts of references, from Final Fantasy VI to Dragon Quest and even Kirby. Molenhauer’s remark that “they are everywhere” made us wonder if there might be Easter eggs that have not yet been found.
“There’s a couple. People are bastards and they found out I would say 90 percent of them, but there’s a couple we’ve never heard anyone mention,” Moldenhauer says.
However, Moldenhauer refuses to give us any reference to what these unfounded references may be. “No clues! I’m a safe. But I love it. Shall we take it to our grave? Will anyone understand?”
