描述

### 外观

“幽灵特快”，正如它的名字一样，是一列专门给亡灵们提供运载服务的列车。战斗开头在车尾迎接你这位不速之客的首领就是“盲灵”，他是一个全身呈淡蓝色的幽灵。正如他的名字一样，他没有眼睛，只有一个巨大的眼眶。 而他的手掌心里却有着可以喷吐出来进行攻击的眼珠，至于他能不能通过手掌心看见外面的世界，这一点仍然存疑。

在你通过盲灵那一关后，你见到的下一个首领就是丁骨车长，别害怕，他绝对不是来查你有没有车票的。他是一个巨大的骷髅，并且戴着作为车长最有标志性的衣着——他的帽子。顺带一提，他看起来好像少了一颗牙齿。

虽然这一点无法确定，但接着丁骨车长的首领“闪电兄弟”看起来就像是给这辆火车提供动力的活塞一样。他们有着巨大的头部和链接着列车内部的两根细管。他们同时有着整辆列车里最有特色的牙齿——对，就是那些长得像刀子的东西。

那么恭喜你，你已经来到了火车头的部分。火车头是一辆有着蓝色的脸和淡紫色的车身的蒸汽机车，他的心脏则在他的锅炉里，炽热的跳动着来为整辆列车提供动力。他看起来是一个开朗的反派，至少他的嘴一直咧着并且将所有的牙齿都露出了来。在你超过他之后，他会气急败坏的将自己与列车之间的挂钩松开来，放飞自我，追上你的脚步。这时他看起来像是一匹马，他的身体会升高，和轮子之间的连接部分则变为了四条细长的腿，还有一条尾巴，尾巴的尽头是一个粉红色的小灯泡。

### 性格

我不得不说这很伤人，但看起来车上的每一个首领都会觉得讽刺，挖苦茶杯兄弟的死亡是很有意思的事情。比如说，盲灵认为茶杯兄弟应该在死后数一数爬过他们尸体的蛆虫，丁骨车长则告诉他们列车的下一站是他们两人的葬礼，而闪电兄弟则表示，这辆列车是死人专供，而现在两兄弟已经是死人了，那么这一趟车还请随意搭乘。而最后，火车头会说明他非常享受战斗并且会“运载无穷无尽的恐惧”。

在战斗开始前，“盲灵”会从列车的最后一节车厢里突然冒出来，并疯狂的发出奇怪的咯咯声试图惊吓茶杯两兄弟。

—盲灵，死亡画面

**血量** = 400/425/425

在整场战斗中，一辆轧道车会带着你跟上幽灵专列。整个场地的下半部分会被均等的分成三个部分，每个部分都能刚好被这辆轧道车占据，也就是说在这场战斗中你可以通过移动轧道车的方式来达到这三个不同的部分：屏幕最左边，正中间和屏幕最右边。轧道车只会在两侧的粉色轮盘被格挡，或者说被能格挡的粉色物体击中时才会移动，并且移动的方向就是轮盘所在的一侧的方向。

战斗的第一阶段是在列车的最后一节车厢边发生的。作为玩家，你们将对阵一个眼睛长在手掌心上的幽灵—盲灵。他会使用从他的手掌心中喷射出来的弹性的眼球发起攻击。这些眼球可以被你的子弹所击破。在简单模式下，他每一次生成完眼球后的硬直会更长，而在专家模式下，他每一次攻击的持续时间则会变得更长。眼球血量 = 3.5/3.5/3.5

与此同时，漂浮的南瓜怪(即长着翅膀的南瓜灯)会从屏幕的任意一边出现，并且会尝试投掷一块粉锭在你的轧道车的轮盘上使你和它更靠近盲灵，这样子他就可以更容易的对玩家（们）造成伤害了。这些漂浮南瓜怪可以被子弹摧毁，但他们投掷出的粉锭只能通过格挡来摧毁。南瓜怪会在这个阶段和紧接着的丁骨车长的阶段里出现，不过在简单模式中，他们并不会在任何阶段里露面。南瓜怪血量 = 4/4

在造成足够的伤害之后，盲灵会尖叫着被打败并立刻撤回车厢中。他手掌心中的眼球也会破碎掉，看起来很痛的样子。于是玩家（们）就会顺着轧道车进入下一阶段。

    "All aboard!! Next stop -- your funeral."

—T-Bone，Death Screen

In the second phase, perhaps the easiest, T-Bone, a giant skeleton, who seems to take on the role of the conductor, pops out of the cars along with his massive skeletal arms.
T-Bone primarily attacks by slamming his hands onto two spots that players can be on, before popping in and out another car and repeating his attack; players need to move the platform to the area beneath his head to avoid damage from the arms, or they can stand on either edge of the platform as the slam lands on the middle of the platform. Which cars he will appear next is usually middle, right, left, and repeat.

After T-Bone takes enough damage, he will cry in pain and lower himself back inside the train, the player(s) moves on to the next part of the train. Hitpoints = 320/325/325

    "Sorry! This train is only for the dead...but we can help you with that."

—Blaze Brothers，Death Screen

The next phase is the Blaze Brothers. Similar to Ribby and Croaks, both are fought simultaneously, but this time both must be killed separately. Their only attack is each raining down lightning from their mouth and moving closer to players until to the edge of the platform on either side. In Simple mode, they move slower when attacking. In Expert mode, they move faster.
Instead of Pumpkimps, Spooks come out of the smokestacks of the middle car and home onto players. When they are killed, a pink skull will drop that has a chance to move the cart, which can be parried. In Simple mode, the spooks' spawning rate is slower. In Expert mode, the spawning rate is faster. Hitpoints = 5/5/5

After enough damage to the both of them, they will melt, and the player(s) can move on to the front of the train. In Simple mode, the battle will simply end when the brothers melted without traveling forward again. Hitpoints = 180/200/200 each

—Head of the Train，Death Screen

In this last phase, the head of the train dislodges from his cab and the rest of the train to gallop after the players, constantly moving from left to right. Rings of bones shot out from his nose will move across the screen if parallel to the players.
To damage him, players must parry the pink light-bulb tail to open the boiler door. Once that is done, his heart will be exposed, and players must shoot at the heart to damage him, fireballs raining down onto players, which come from the furnace. After a while, the door will be closed again. Parrying the tail does not count towards the parry total.

Once the heart has taken enough damage, the train goes crying in defeat with his heart now extinguished and broken in half, his light-bulb on his tail is broken, losing a tooth on the upper row and wearing a bandage. Hitpoints = 200/200

In Expert mode, the Head of the Train gallops faster, making it harder to reach and parry his tail, and the Pumpkimps will return, dropping ingots on the cart.

启发
--

* Blind Specter is most likely based off Eye Five, a villain from *Skylanders Trap Team**.*
* The Phantom Express itself may be a reference to the *Swing You Sinners!* ghosts.
	+ It may also be a reference to the Phantom Train from *Final Fantasy VI*.
* The faces of the Blaze Brothers look like a character in the 1930 cartoon *Swing You Sinners!*.
* The background for this fight is inspired by the 1929 cartoon *The Skeleton Dance*.
* The Pumpkimps may be a reference to a pumpkin with wings from the 1933 Betty Boop cartoon *Betty Boop's Hallowe'en Party*.
* If one looks closely at the Head of the Train, shortly before he dislodges himself from the carriages, the number "4561" can be seen on the carriage behind him which may be a reference to the LEGO System train set.
* The Head of the Train nearly resembles the Demon Train from *Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.*

## 冷知识

* Using P-Sugar will conveniently move your cart once you jump on it, making it extremely convenient for this boss fight and for parryable skulls and ingots that get close to the platform's dials.
* Inside the Head of the Train is his heart-shaped engine; at first, it can be assumed that it is made of some sort of metal, as it glows red, like metal does when it's hot. However, when he is defeated, it appears the engine is clear and can crack, like glass. It is possible the heart is made of glass and just has a light inside.
	+ It's possible the heart is a lightbulb as on closer inspection, it has a wavy line inside which could possible be the tungsten of it.
* When going through the different phases, perpetually-smiling passengers can be seen on the train.
* While fighting T-Bone, the Pumpkimps that drop the pink ingots on the cart will be in front of T-Bone, but the objects themselves will be behind T-Bone.
* The Phantom Express is the sixth boss to have individual characters throughout the battle, with the others being the The Root Pack, Baroness Von Bon Bon, Wally Warbles, Rumor Honeybottoms, and Captain Brineybeard.
* Out of all the individuals of the Phantom Express, only Blind Specter is seen in the good ending.
* Due to the Phantom Express blocking Inkwell Hell from the rest of Inkwell Isle III, as well as it being on train tracks, Cuphead and Mugman literally ended up on the "wrong side of the tracks" in the opening.
* At the beginning of the song in this battle, the song is made to sound like a train, while creating a good sounding melody, making Railroad Wrath a popular song among fans. (Snare drums sound like the train going over tracks, and several horns together make the sound of a train whistle)
* The Head of the Train was going to have a part of the cart stick with the engine and uses skeleton legs (presumably T-Bone's), it breathes fire, shoot meteors or steam beam from the chimney and transform the chimney into a hammer. The concept art was posted by the boss designer Jake Clark.
