Did you know?
- While the game title remains Cuphead in Spanish, fans often describe the character as Tazahead in memes to humorously combine the Spanish word taza for 'cup' with the English 'head'.
- While 'cup' can be translated as copa, using that word for the character would imply he has a 'goblet head' rather than a 'mug head', changing the entire aesthetic of the character.
- In Spanish, when referring to the character, fans often use the gendered noun el Cuphead if they view the character as a masculine figure, even though the English name lacks a gender marker.
