Appearances
Ittle Dew
Masked Ruby is one of the three bosses guarding the treasures of the island. His treasure is the Fire Sword. He attacks by dashing at Ittle. The player must lure him to one of the bombs and activate them with the newly acquired Fire Sword. If hit with a blast, Ruby lunges off screen to summon Fishbuns for the player to defeat before coming back down with new bombs.
Ittle Dew 2
He doesn't make a direct appearance, but his portrait can be seen along with his fellow bosses in The Grand Library. El Biadlo also confirms to being Masked Ruby's cousin and glued him back together after shattering into smaller shards.
Card City Nights
Masked Ruby appears as The Delinquent, sporting some slick black hair and sunglasses. He is one of the Legendary Card holders and can be dueled with in The Cave, where his bar-mates candidly announce his cheating methods for the game. When defeated, he apologizes to the player for cheating and rewards the player with the King-Buni DX legendary card.
Card City Nights 2
He doesn't make a direct appearance as an NPC, but he appears on a rare card, dealing 1 damage while granting the user a bubble when resolving.
Alternate outfits
- Masked Ruby
- Magic Crystal
- Rubibi
Easter eggs & secrets
- Down strong and air strong can be canceled into taunt, even before the hitboxes come out.
- Holding clutch and pressing taunt activates an entirely new taunt animation, where he looks around nervously before pulling his sword out from his mouth. Unlike the standard taunt, Rubibi uses the same animation.
- Masked Ruby can press taunt while crouching to do a small hop while still crouched.
- Holding clutch while hitting with air strong makes Masked Ruby whistle.

Trivia
- His first lines in Ittle Dew is a mixture of French and Swedish. It roughly translates to "Ah Miss! (French) It is time to trick the translators!" (Swedish)
- Remar confirmed on Twitter that Masked Ruby's taunt in Slap City is a reference to Kaiketsu Zubat A show made in the 70's about the titular hero who shouts "Zubat" a lot and takes down flamboyant villains in a Japanese wild west setting. An example can be found here.
- Masked Ruby's 2nd and 4th alternate colors were changed during development. In particular, his 4th color was once a simple palette swap before being changed to the Smug Crystal.
