Super Arts are extremely powerful attacks unlocked one by one upon rescuing the Legendary Chalice from each Mausoleum.
They can only be activated once the player has filled their super meter with 5 cards through parrying objects or damaging enemies. There are only three, and only two of them are really attacks. Ms. Chalice has her own set of Super Arts.

Trivia[]
- It is not possible to parry while using the first Super Art (Unless you are using P-Sugar).
- The second Super Art for Cuphead and Mugman also acts as a double jump as they both jump after its activation.
- With the third super art, By holding the lock button, the player will stand in place while being able to move the ghost around.
- It is likely that the name 'Super Arts' was inspired from the Street Fighter series.
- Unlike the EX attacks, the Super Arts are unaffected by the damage reduction when using either of the heart charms.
- Initially there was only one Super Art, which was Cuphead or Mugman turning their straw into an attack. It seemed to have been reworked into the final version of Super Art I.
