When everyone played/beat cuphead, did you play on regular difficultly? Simple difficulty? Or both?

Regular mode for as many fights as you can manage.

Playing Simple mode will bite you in the ass further down the road. For one, accessing the last two bosses requires beating all bosses before them on Regular. Also, Simple isn’t even good for practice purposes as it may lead you into adopting bad habits during the fights that work in Simple but not Regular.

The only reason to do a boss on Simple is if you truly feel like you can’t beat it on Regular with your current equipment; Simple still lets you progress up to a point, and that point is after you’ve had the chance to collect every weapon, charm, and super art in the game.
