Health Up
A glowing green heart that restores a health cup segment.
The Health Up is a power-up item in Cuphead that restores a health cup segment. It appears as a glowing green heart. Kusielczuk does not usually run more modern games, but following his audience's suggestions, he started running the notoriously difficult run and gun indie video game Cuphead shortly after its release, quickly rising in the ranks and dominating it. The suggestion came about due to the game's similarity to Contra, another game that Kusielczuk enjoys speedrunning. Soon after the game's release, Kusielczuk started accumulating world records, many of which have since been bested by other speedrunners. He maintains, however, several records, particularly in the cooperative categories with fellow speedrunners luigi100 and SBDWolf.
