Want to unlock Cuphead's secret modes? This guide will show you how to find the black and white filter and the two-stripe filter by completing specific challenges.
Hey there! So you've been diving into Cuphead and maybe you're looking for a little something extra, right? Well, this guide is all about unlocking some cool secret modes that’ll give your game a fresh, vintage vibe. We're talking about a black and white filter that makes the game look like a pure 1930s cartoon, complete with old-school audio filters. It’s a neat way to revisit the game and appreciate its amazing animation style even more.
What's the Secret?
The main secret mode we're unlocking is a black and white filter. It’s like stepping back in time to watch an actual 1930s cartoon. Plus, there are audio filters that really amp up that vintage feel. It’s a fantastic way to experience Cuphead’s incredible art style in a whole new light.
Finding the Turtle in World 3
Your first stop for unlocking these modes is World 3. As you explore the hub area, keep an eye out for a turtle chilling on the docks. This guy is your key! When you talk to him, he'll mention something about pacifism and give you a hint: a special bonus awaits if you can clear all the platforming levels without taking down any enemies. Sounds like a challenge, but totally doable!
Unlocking the Black and White Mode
So, here’s the mission: you need to play through all six of Cuphead's platforming stages. These are:
- Forest Follies
- Treetop Trouble
- Funfair Fever
- Funhouse Frazzle
- Perilous Piers
- Rugged Ridge
The trick here is to complete each of these levels without shooting any enemies. If you pull this off, you'll notice the flag at the end of the level will have a 'P' on it. Once you've managed to get that 'P' on all six levels, head back to that friendly turtle in the World 3 hub. He’ll then unlock the awesome Black and White mode for you!
Don't Forget the Fork!
But wait, there's more! While you're exploring, make sure you also have a chat with a rather dapper-looking fork wearing a monocle. You'll usually find him hanging out near the world's shop. He's on the lookout for
