Throughout the battle, the foreground scenery blocks the player's view, limiting the amount of the screen they can see. In Expert mode, the ghost rider appear more frequently. When a ghostly, robed skeleton appears riding its horse, it flies up to the players' location. While the players are busy fighting him, a derby race is happening below the fight with skeleton jockeys riding skeleton horses. In Expert Mode, he shoots out the present twice as fast. One of the horseshoes is pink, and can be parried.
The boxes travel for a certain amount of time before exploding and releasing golden horseshoes in all 8 directions. Phear Lap has only one attack, which is shooting a blue present out of his rib cage. When defeated, Phear Lap cries out money and holds several bills in his hands, implying that he bet on Cuphead and Mugman losing and lost the bet.īefore the battle begins, Phear Lap falls into his craft with his long spine falling down until his head shows up. Phear lap is a stereotypical derby commentator.
