Hilda Berg
Fitting, isn't it? I'm a blimp -- you're a wimp.
-Hilda Berg|Phase 1 death screen
Hilda Berg はCupheadに登場するボスキャラクター。Inkwell Isle Oneの北東に位置するステージ、Threatenin' Zeppelinに登場する。
彼女はツェッペリンと人間のハイブリッド的存在であり、プレイヤーは飛行機で戦う事となる。
Intro
彼女は雲の上の座って登場し、雲を吸い込み変身する。
すると、彼女の全身がツェッペリンに変形し戦闘が始まる。なぜか空中で一輪車を漕いでいる。
First Phase
Hilda Bergは画面右端を常に上下に動き回り、紫色のおもちゃツェッペリンが弾を1発ずつ撃って攻撃をして来る。
本体であるHilda Bergは数秒ごとに笑いながら攻撃してくる。（「HA！」という文字を撃って来る。）
Second Phase: Transformations & In-Between
You won't get too far... it has been foretold in the stars.
-Hilda Berg|Phase 2 death screen
Hilda Bergは第2段階になると変身して攻撃をして来るようになる。
変身セクション
Hilda Bergは息を大きく吸い込み、空気を吐き出しながら画面左に横切って画面外へ消える。
画面内に戻り、煙と星の雲の中で次の3つの星座のうちの、1つに変身する。
変身する星座は、画面外へ消える際の星座の形で判別可能。
- 牡牛座:Hilda Bergが雲で出来た大きな雄牛に変身。Hilda Bergは、プレイヤーと並行して並んでいるときに、角を突き出し攻撃をして来る。攻撃する直前にHilda Bergの上下運動が一瞬止まるので、上下運動さえ注意しておけば回避は容易。
- ふたご座:
- 射手座:
In-between Transformations
After spending a long enough as a constellation form, Hilda will return to normal for a short time before transforming again. During this time:
- Hilda starts creating and launching tornadoes at Cuphead and Mugman. These tornadoes will curve slightly towards the player, and disappear off-screen.
- In addition to the purple toy zeppelins, new green-colored toy zeppelins appear, and in increasingly greater quantity. These toy zeppelins will fire 4 bullets at once in a crescent shape towards players.
Final Phase
At this point, Hilda appears to go crazy as she shudders and shakes, groaning in pain. The sky turns to night, and Hilda Berg swirls herself to become a massive crescent moon with her face. In this phase, she fills more than half the screen, giving players much less room to move around in.
Intermittently Hilda's face will extend outward, grinning maniacally. While like this she cannot directly attack, but UFO's will come out from the hole where her face would be and attack with vertical laser beams. The different colors of UFO attack differently; Red UFO's wont attack until the player flies underneath, Gold UFO's attempt to attack just in front of a player. Finally, replacing the toy zeppelins are shooting star bullets that fly from right to left, at slow or fast speeds. Occasionally a pink one will appear.
This phase, however, is unavailable to those who play on Simple difficulty.
Trivia
- It may be pure coincidence, but Hilda's hair seems to take inspiration from Betty Boop.
- By pure coincidence, Hilda's hair and nose, together with her body design resembles Pearl, from the Steven Universe series.
- Her name is a pun on the infamous Hindenburg, a zeppelin that crashed in 1937.
- The constellation transformations are a reference to the Noiman Cascade boss fight of Contra: Hard Corps.
- Out of all the constellation transformations, only Gemini matches Hilda Berg's female gender while Taurus and Sagittarius look to be male.
- She is the first boss in which the player uses the Aeroplane.
- Hilda’s Final Phase form is similar to Hypnos from Capcom’s Three Wonders.
- Her boss stage gameplay is also based on the shoot’em up mode of Three Wonders, Chariot.
- Hilda appears in first world, even though she seems quite difficult. She is considered to be this world's hardest boss.
- It could be said that Hilda is the 'final boss' of World 1, seeing as her battle is the first that introduces and uses planes, as well as have a wider variety of attacks/challenges than other bosses for World 1.
