Pizza Tower is an indie 2D Platform Game by a small team called Tour de Pizza, led by "McPig" (previously known as "Pizza Tower Guy"), heavily inspired by Wario Land and Deranged Animation cartoons of The '90s. It was finally released on PC through Steam on January 26th, 2023, after five years of development and a variety of demos, both public and private.Peppino Spaghetti is an anxious and ill-tempered Italian chef and the owner of a failing pizza restaurant. One day, he is confronted by Pizzaface, a giant sentient pizza and the lord of the titular Pizza Tower, who threatens to destroy Peppino's restaurant with a giant laser. And so, Peppino goes on a quest to destroy the Pizza Tower and save his restaurant, helped by fellow pizza chef Gustavo.In the game, you traverse through the aforementioned Pizza Tower's floors, collecting pizza ingredients and the animate Toppins along the way. Within the tower's various stages live many cheesy enemies attempting to impede Peppino's progress. After fighting through their defenses, the player takes out the level's Pillar John—which literally supports the entire level—and must race back to the beginning of the level as it starts to collapse with a timer leading to Pizzaface waking up...On March 11th, 2024, a free update was added to the game allowing you to play as The Noise, the third boss, in a pseudo-New Game Plus mode.For updates on the game, see its Twitter and Tumblr. The SAGE 2019 demo is available through Itch.io.Previews: First Demo Trailer, SAGE2019 Trailer, Steam Trailer | |

Score Multiplier: The scrapped Heat Meter functions as one of these, going up a level when enough points are scored, and decreasing a level when Peppino gets hit; in return, it makes enemies faster. | |

Earn Your Bad Ending | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_132e865c | comment |
Earn Your Bad Ending: The "YOU SUCK!" End-Game Results Screen requires you to beat the game with less than 50% completion, while also taking longer than two hours so you don't get a special end-screen for speedrunning the game. Even if you only collect the minimum 86 Toppins (out of 95), avoid the secrets and treasures, and even skip a stage (and only one stage, since beating the game requires getting all the toppins in 17 other stages and at least one in the 18th), you can still "fail" by getting just a few A-ranks. If you're a new player, your first judgement is far more likely to be "No Judgement." | |

The Artifact | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: The track LEANING NIGHTMARE, which plays when you have 2 minutes left on the timer in Snick's Challenge, shares a leitmotif with one of Frostix's tracks, Leaning Dream. However, the latter track was composed for an unused Space Zone-type level (later being reused as a pause menu theme), and as such, LEANING NIGHTMARE is the only track in the game with its leitmotif. | |

Antepiece | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b | comment |
Antepiece: Transformations, gimmick enemies such as Hamkuffs, and other new mechanics are consistently introduced in a safe and simple environment, then expanded upon in later, more challenging rooms. For example, the first time you have to use a bomb to defeat a Stupid Rat in Ancient Cheese, the bomb spawner is right next to the rat with no nearby hazards. Later instances have the bomb and the rat placed further away (which can serve to show that the bomb WILL blow up in Peppino's hands if you take too long), then separated by platforming challenges or specific throws. It culminates in the final instance during Pizza Time where, under a ticking time limit, you must carry the bomb across several platforms to reach the rat, but by which point you'll be more than familiar with platforming while carrying a bomb. If the player completes all of Floor 1 in under an hour, they unlock an outfit they can wear named "Sage Blue". It's pretty easy to score this set of garments, and that's on purpose; it serves to imply that there are some collectibles that could become permanently impossible to grab on a particular save file. The Boss Rush which precedes the Final Boss has a way to show that the bosses are going to behave somewhat differently. After hitting his Rage Breaking Point, Peppino unleashes a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown against Pepperman, which takes off four chunks of health. This is to show you that while you'll have to fight every boss again, they'll only take a few hits before going down. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The bosses of each world make absolutely no use of Peppino's running mechanic like the normal levels (except for Fake Peppino), and are instead much more like traditional platformer bosses. In addition, the Vigilante requires you to fight him with a gun instead of dashing into him to damage him. As the Noise, instead of punching the bosses like Peppino, you instead kick bombs at them. You also don’t use the gun during the Vigilante’s. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
In "Pizzascare", a Darker and Edgier horror-themed variation on the medieval-themed "Pizzascape", ghosts are a common enemy in the level that require blessings from an exorcist to defeat, and the level also has a recurring gimmick in the form of King Ghost, who trails behind Peppino in segments and activates traps along the way. | |

Pizza Box Goblins are goblins coming out of pizza boxes who throw Cartoon Bombs at the player which they can pick up. They have an Underground Monkey variant in the Cannon Pizza Goblins, who wear pirate bandanas and fire bombs from cannons which travel in a straight line and can't be picked up. | |

Title Card | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_18d0a543 | comment |
The same can be said for the Title Card for "Golf", but with the opposite tone. It looks like an action-movie poster, featuring a blood splattered Peppino wielding a golf club and a shotgun in a golf-themed hellscape. The actual level ranks as one of the goofiest in the entire game, taking place in a mini-golf diner where you knock around the diner's owner into basketball hoops, and the shotgun never appears in this stage in any capacity. The stage does have demons, at least. | |

Title Drop: Parodied by the game's Steam page, which invites the player to "BECOME the Pizza Tower!" alongside an image of Peppino as a tower-shaped Cephalothorax.

Stealth Pun Floor 2 is a Western themed area where the boss is a Clint Eastwood Expy. The world is a Spaghetti Western. Items that boost Peppino's ghost form so he can move faster and break ghost blocks take the form of white chili peppers. They're ghost peppers. Peppino can warp to other areas by jumping into cardboard boxes stuffed full of pizza slices that appear everywhere. They're literal pizza boxes. One of the items in the background of Refrigerator-Refrigerador-Freezerator is a bottle of ketchup with a picture of a cat on it. It's "catsup". | |

The hit stop for dashing into enemies is exploited at the end of The Crumbling Tower of Pizza; when Peppino has barreled through every other obstacle, the Tower's last resort is to spawn a large number of harmless cardboard cutouts in his way, each of which will trigger the hit stop and cost a couple extra seconds before he can reach the door. | |

Line Boil: Most things that aren't background elements are constantly moving. This applies to most characters throughout the game, but is best seen with the Stupid Rats, stationary enemies whose linework still noticeably wobbles and jiggles around even if they're not being touched. | |

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_25524784 | comment |
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: During the final boss, Pizzahead summons all four previous bosses as a Boss Rush after Peppino depletes his health once. But Peppino, being absolutely done with all the insanity thrown at him throughout the game, lets out a scream of pure rage and charges Pepperman. From then on, every time Peppino hits a boss, it results in a mauling so vicious that it knocks off half the boss' health at a time. When the last blow is dealt to Pizzahead, he spends over ten full seconds relentlessly pummeling the boss and pushing both of them skywards, finishing off with a piledriver from so high up that it leaves Pizzahead buried in the masonry of his tower. | |

Ascended Glitch | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3 | comment |
Ascended Glitch: In some beta versions of the game, it was possible for Peppino to initiate a super jump while in mid-air, so long as he was running at high enough speed. Since it's also possible to cancel out of a super jump and return to running at mach speed by pressing the run button mid-jump, it became possible to have Peppino "fly" by running, super jumping, canceling into a run, super jumping, and so on. While this was patched out of the final game, when the Noise was added as a playable character, he gained a variation of this technique: He can initiate a crusher jump (in midair, hold up and press the jump button), cancel the crusher jump into a horizontal spin, and then crusher jump while spinning. The reason it's this trope and not just an overlooked bug is that you unlock one of the Noise's outfits by performing a few repetitions of this technique. | |

Advanced Movement Technique | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_26c4741a | comment |
Advanced Movement Technique: While all essential moves are taught in the tutorial, a few are more advanced and obscure: If Peppino is holding an enemy, his belly slam remains applicable in the form of a Spinning Piledriver; you can press down to take out both the enemy you're holding and anything below. Pressing Grab and then holding up will cause Peppino to perform a leaping piledriver on whatever enemy he grabs. When performing a run-dive, pressing Jump will make Peppino perform a downwards body slam, negating his horizontal velocity instantly without crashing into a wall or ceiling. Pressing Run or Grab while Super-Jumping will make Peppino cancel the jump into a shoulder-bash, instantly giving back the Mach 2 speed. Holding left or right while pressing the button will face the bash in the same direction; not pressing a direction will simply have Peppino return to the direction he had been running before. Grabbing an enemy while running towards them at Mach 2+ will make Peppino swing them around, dispatching any enemies and blocks that are hit. The fastest way to gain speed is to press Grab, press down for a belly-slide in the middle of the grab, and then press Run whilst releasing down to start a Mach 2+ run. If you press the backwards direction and Grab while airborne at Mach 2+, Peppino will twirl out of his run and move slowly in the opposite direction. This improves Peppino's mobility on rails as well. Running requires you to hold the Run button, but it doesn't require you to hold the forwards direction. If Peppino runs at Mach 2+ without pressing the forward key, his speed will not increase, allowing for somewhat steadier movement. The Noise's unique moveset has the same array of mechanics, but also an additional "secret move" combo based on a trick from early beta versions of the game; See Ascended Glitch below. | |

Funny Background Event | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: Various humorous events can be seen in the level backgrounds. For an example, crabs taking over in the Pig City, Swedish Monkey riding on a banana in Oh Shit!, a cow being abducted in Fun Farm, and so on. The title card for "The Crumbling Tower of Pizza" shows Peppino triumphantly standing atop a pile of beaten up people. On a closer look, most of those characters cannot be harmed during normal gameplay or are outright inoffensive. Even the ghost icon from the combo bar is lying there! In the background, Gerome looks real annoyed to have to clean up this mess. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: Wait on the file select menu while it is dark for around 40 seconds and Peppino will lunge at the screen, forcefully closing the game. While the lights are on, you can click on Peppino (or press the Mach Run button if you're using a controller) to beat him up. He'll contort in comical ways, including turning into a pizza, and will briefly clench his fist in anger once you stop. Slapping him enough times will unlock The Noise from the get-go on a fresh game. Hold the parry button as Peppino to breakdance and spawn a boombox. There are some hidden rooms around the hub areas, such as Noisette's restaurant, one with a clown car powerup and another with nothing but a car and a trash can with somebody hiding on it. These rooms typically contain content that was present in earlier builds, but got scrapped in the final release. In Tricky Treat, using the Ghost transformation to go back and leave the level from the entrance displays a silent Jump Scare of the unused "The Judgement was final" screen without any text. Peppino just stands there staring at the player in disappointment for a while until the game forcefully closes itself. Want to Rematch The Doise without him being dead? Taunt three times in front of his boss gate, and he'd come back to life! He's still dead during the final boss rush, though. | |

Gross-Out Show: Despite the art style being heavily influenced by cartoons of the 90s in which gross humor was a staple, this trope is mainly averted, with the game preferring to focus on the Deranged Animation quality of these cartoons instead. However, some gross qualities still exist, particularly in stages such as "Oh, Shit!" (a Sewer Level with poop blocks) and "Deep-Dish 9" with a planet covered in what is implied to be snot. | |

Theme Music Power-Up | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_2f50c5bf | comment |
Theme Music Power-Up: The final boss music is this, but for Peppino, not Pizzahead himself. "Unexpectancy 3" kicks in when Peppino loses his shit at Pizzahead starting a Boss Rush and gives his first No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to Pepperman. This also applies to The Noise, who gets their own Noise-remix of Unexpectancy 3 when taking on said Boss Rush. "The Death That I Deservioli" acts as one for lap 2, as it symbolically represents Peppino gaining the courage needed to risk his life and dive back into the level. It's likely not a coincidence that "Unexpectancy 3" includes a remix of the song. | |

This is perhaps most prominent in "Don't Make A Sound", a stage that's a massive pastiche of the "killer animatronics" angle of Five Nights at Freddy's, complete with jumpscares… which Peppino is steamrolling through like everything else, everything still exuding the game's prior sense of humor even as a bloody sausage butcher chases Peppino, culminating in Peppino getting a shotgun and completely turning the tables. | |

If both players hold the run button, they turn into a Big Ball of Violence. | |

Cursed with Awesome: In the Noise's Hardoween Demo and earlier builds, the Pizzards will use their power to turn Peppino into a knight, which makes him slow, heavy, and unable to dash. It also makes him impervious to several types of attack and makes his Ground Pound, especially from decent height, more powerful. Downplayed, since the Pizzards aren't actually trying to hurt Peppino; their character profile says they're apprentice magicians just practicing their spells. | |

Noob Cave: John Gutter, the first proper level after the tutorial and notably the only regular level to be given its own room in the tower separate from the main floors. It's a short, basic level with no real gimmicks and a simple checkerboard aesthetic. Aside from the myriad of discarded Pillar Johns in the background (which is sorta an important detail in the endgame), there's nothing particularly special here. | |

Ground Pound | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_3401240 | comment |
Ground Pound: Pressing down while in the air allows Peppino to do a belly flop that will break weak terrain, hurt enemies, and if done from high up enough, destroy metal blocks and bounce up grounded enemies. Down + jump while diving achieves the same effect, but with a more traditional butt-stomp animation. All of Gustavo & Brick's Double Jumps end with them doing a particularly weighty ground pound, which has the same destructive properties as Peppino's version. Pressing down in the air has Gustavo dismount Brick (if he hasn't already) to stomp the ground, which lacks most offensive traits of the other pounds but is still useful if you need to quickly descend or destroy weak blocks below. Pepperman uses a ground pound when he has 5-6 health left in both of his phases. | |

Sequential Boss | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_363e9631 | comment |
Sequential Boss: Bosses work this way, with every hit point they lose causing them to either add new attacks to their repertoire or change up their patterns. Once you deplete their health, they'll regain it all for a second phase, which just repeats the usual progress, but with an additional obstacle added to the battle: Pepperman will attack you in different ways, entering vulnerable states in different ways as you deplete his health and summoning enemies to aid him. The second phase has tons of enemies already spawning from the get go, getting in your way. The Vigilante will continue to gain new attacks throughout the fight, and his second phase will have him set the battle to take place during the sunset, rendering everything visible only through silhouette. The Noise acts similarly to the previous two fights, entering a vulnerable state after his attacks that increase as the fight goes on. The second phase will cause a giant Noise balloon to crash onto the battlefield and knock out the cameramen, with enemies jumping out of the holes in the balloon to impede you while The Noise adds new effects to his moveset. Fake Peppino will change his attack patterns every time you hit him, which you can only do by striking him two times in order to stun him and make him vulnerable, all the while surviving the increasing army of Fake Peppinos he summons. After surviving a brief interlude of Fake Peppino attacks, the second phase adds a Fake Fake Peppino to get in your way. The third phase will force Peppino to run away from a giant Fake Peppino, requiring him to dash as fast as he can until he can escape the building. Pizzaface acts as a Mook Maker, summoning enemies in increasing amounts that you must launch at him to defeat him. The second phase forces you against the mastermind, Pizzahead, in a shootout, with the broken down Pizzaface mech returning to drop gears on the battlefield, while the mascot gone mad attacks you with bizzare and wacky moves. Then comes a Boss Rush against truncated versions of the previous four bosses, followed by one final battle against Pizzahead. | |

Degraded Boss: In "War", Peppino clones similar to Fake Peppino appear as a common enemy that can be dispatched with a single shotgun blast.

Hyperactive Sprite: Every character is highly and comically animated. Peppino in particular has various standing animations with walking ones to match depending on circumstances — anxiousness by default, fear during escape scenes, despair when the escape timer runs out, fuming with anger during the first phase of the final boss, and then being so irate from the third phase onwards that he starts dancing with bloodshot eyes. | |

Ability Required to Proceed: The tower is populated by Stupid Rats that will block the way, unable to harm Peppino but immune to all of Peppino's standard moves. Getting past them will usually involve bringing the level's gimmick transformation to them, although a handful must instead be destroyed with another enemy's projectile. Incidentally, the ones that are placed such that you must use the Ball transformation to defeat them are shaped like bowling pins. | |

Adaptational Heroism: Downplayed in the Noise's campaign, where Noise — originally depicted as a mischievous Jerkass in the main campaign and who fought on the villains' side — is instead depicted as a lone-gunning hero aiming to take down the eponymous tower; though not doing so without embracing his back-handed side. Later shown to be a parodied trope when his campaign is revealed to have been a movie adaptation of the game that he himself produced. | |

An unused boss fight with the Noise has him on top of a pogo contraption and wearing a helmet, so he can only be stunned by jumping or ground pounding on him. However, he constantly spawns small minions into the arena, which can be thrown at him to temporarily ground him and his contraption, allowing Peppino to whale on him. He gains a Shockwave Stomp attack in phase two....that leaves him stranded on the ground for quite some time, and spawns flunkies. | |

Stylistic Suck: The sprites, to an extent. Their one-pixel-thick lines and saturated colors resemble something that would be drawn in MS Paint or a similarly limited art program. The actual animation is incredibly fluid, taking advantage of the MS Paint aesthetic for comedy. While playing as The Noise, the title cards for each stage get stickers of him crudely slapped on Peppino and any other characters featured in the artwork. | |

The Unfought | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_464dd7cc | comment |
The Unfought: The stage "Don't Make a Sound" involves Peppino avoiding a group of monster mascots and shooting them down during the escape sequence. There should be a Pizza Boy animatronic among them that is seen already active and performing in the background of the first room, but to add to how mysterious the character is up to that point, it is never encountered. Save for in the backroom area, where the actual Pizza Boy animatronic is seen hanging from a chain, unused. This serves for foreshadowing that it wasn't the animatronic on stage at all — it was the real deal, Pizzahead. | |

An In-Universe, Title Card version: the one used in "Don't Make A Sound" has Peppino happily frolicking with the various Toppin Monsters on a blue-skied backdrop. The actual level is a Whole-Plot Reference to Five Nights at Freddy's, in which they are out for blood and will dish out some of the heaviest score penalties in the game if they get Peppino. Amusingly enough, the text clashes with the rest of the Title Card by being rather ominous in its design; from its blood red color, small size, and intimidating font style used. | |

Angry Fist-Shake: Peppino shakes his fist when you hit him on the file select screen. Captain Pizza Goblin shakes his fist when you manage to get away from the area he bombards with cannonballs. | |

Sampling | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: Many songs in the soundtrack use samples from other songs. For an example, "Unexpectancy" samples sections from the 1920s pop song "After You Get What You Want, You Don’t Want It". Early versions of "It's Pizza Time" sampled the "Hello there" voice clip from Wario Land 4, but the final game uses a sound-alike, presumably for copyright reasons. Similarly, early demo versions of "Cold Spaghetti" (the second theme of Pizzascape) sampled Wario's voice clips from the same game. | |

Black Dot Pupils: Most characters who don't have Black Bead Eyes, still don't have irises. There are few exceptions like secret eyes (who have irises) and Pepperman (who has blue pupils). Pencer has one Black Dot Pupil and one eye with a yellow iris. | |

Undercover Cop Reveal | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_52ae74d | comment |
Undercover Cop Reveal: Pig City is dotted with taxis that will drive Peppino to the various sublevels, with a brief loading screen of Peppino anxiously waiting as the cab driver takes him away. One specific taxi, on the other hand, is just a cardboard cutout: climbing into it drops the facade and reveals the police car behind it, the loading screen gets replaced by Peppino screaming in terror at the Police Pig driving it, and it drops Peppino off in a jail cell with no way back until Pizza Time activates. | |

Bookends | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_53224e46 | comment |
Bookends: You start out beating up cardboard cutouts of "Pizza Boy" in the tutorial. They are styled after Pizzahead, the true identity of Pizzaface and the final boss. Right at the end of the final escape sequence, a line of Pizza Boy dummies is all the tower can muster as a last defense before Peppino crosses the entrance gate. Meta-Example: The layout of the last set of cutouts is the same as the last set in the old tutorial in early demos. The first "real" level of the game is John Gutter, an odd landscape filled with what seem to be defective copies of Pillar John, such as a spherical one, one that's drooping over into a U-shape, or various "dead" ones that act as destructible blocks (and must all be destroyed for one of the game's achievements). The final escape sequence of the game, after defeating the final boss, starts with you destroying the original Pillar John from which all the clones were made, now worn-out, dirty, and decrepit. And if you get all the Secret Treasures, you get to revive him after the credits, too! Right after John Gutter, you'll probably jump into Pizzascape, a medieval castle-themed stage. One of the very last stages in the game is Pizzascare, a spooky medieval castle that uses most of the same tileset and a remix of the same music. This is especially notable when no other levels share the same theme twice. The first floor of the Pizza Tower starts out by requiring the player to complete a specific first level, John Gutter, before opening up the next three. The final floor inverts this: only three levels are accessible on the floor with the fourth starting after the final boss. When you activate Pizza Time, you'll hear an ominous "hello there!" said at the start of the track. What is the name of the track for the final escape sequence of the game? Bye Bye There! During their experimentation with game development, Pizza Tower's creator posted some early concepts for a new game they wanted to create, tentatively named "The Leaning Tower Of Pizza". The name of the very final level in the finished version of that game? "The Crumbling Tower of Pizza". | |

Non-Lethal Bottomless Pits | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_53430e3c | comment |
Rooms with Non-Lethal Bottomless Pits tend to have checkpoints in them, which you respawn at should you fall into said pits, cutting down on extra travel time compared to putting you back at the entrance of the room. This, plus the fact falling in a pit doesn't cut a penalty out of your combo timer, helps mitigate maintaining combos in these rooms. | |

Projectile Pocketing: The Greaseball in the Golf level will collect items after Peppino bashes him through the air, and has exclusive Greaseball Hoops that only he can collect. This property applies even if Greaseball is unlaunched and merely happily skipping around, which one of the secret eye levels exploits. If Gustavo kicks Brick forward, any toppings that Brick rolls through will count as collected. | |

Let's Get Dangerous! | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_562abd51 | comment |
Let's Get Dangerous!: Peppino is normally a goofy Lovable Coward who is nonetheless very good at braving the Pizza Tower's perils. However, when Pizzahead has the audacity to summon all four of the previous bosses to his aid and then laugh in Peppino's face about it, Peppino decides he's done being afraid and goes absolutely berserk, gaining the ability to deal four points of damage in a single hit and wiping the floor with the other bosses before beating the ever-loving crap out of Pizzahead. | |

Music for Courage | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_56434ecd | comment |
Music for Courage: "The Death that I Deservioli" functions as this trope. While "It's Pizza Time!" is a frantic, panic-inducing song that accentuates Peppino's Escape Sequence from the level he's currently in, "The Death That I Deservioli" is a powerful, courageous morale-booster. There is a symbolic reason for this; the song only plays during Lap 2, which means that instead of taking the earliest possible escape, Peppino is willing to flirt with death to get a higher rank. | |

Letting the Air out of the Band: "It's Pizza Time!", the song used for when it's Pizza Time, goes into a fast-paced climax when the timer is down to the last minute, that then slows way down right as the timer hits zero. After that, you're left with the sound of a clock ticking as you try to escape Pizzaface. The tune that plays when you get a D-rank replaces the triumphant ending chords with what sounds like farting, out of tune trumpets. | |

The Goomba: Cheeseslimes, who can't attack and just move around mindlessly. The SAGE demo's description even calls them "useless" and "cannon fodder". They have Elite Mook variants called Tribal Cheeses that don't go down so easily, as well as the Spit Cheeses, who lob spiky balls of cheese at Peppino. Subverted with The Vigilante, a Cheeseslime in a cowboy hat who is strong enough to be a full boss fight. It's suggested in an official comic that he pretends to be as weak and cowardly as any other Cheeseslime to catch his opponents off-guard. | |

Meaningful Background Event: The latter half of "WAR" has not only Peppino getting cloned in the background (thus explaining all those Peppino clones you fight in the lab area), but it also shows the same for the level's Pillar John. This serves to both explain why War doesn't have a Pizza Time event (you need to hit John to start it, but he's outside the player's reach) and how the other levels managed to get Johns of their own to begin with. | |

Speedrun | |

Your dash getting interrupted and your combo ruined by an enemy with the ability to damage you has the potential to be very frustrating for speedrunning (which was in fact a big hassle in the newer Wario Land games), so this game gets around that by having enemies drop their guard in fear if you're coming at them at a dash speed of Mach 3 or higher, allowing players to barrel though normally harmful enemies if they keep their speed up. Plus, the few enemies that aren't scared of you speeding at them take a second before they can attack, making them also vulnerable to the dash if you're fast enough. | |

Triumphant Reprise | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_5da37ab5 | comment |
Triumphant Reprise: The end-of-level jingles become increasingly triumphant versions of themselves as you get better and better ranks, with the last note sounding more and more glorious with each step up. The P Rank jingle, on the other hand, is entirely remixed to sound even awesomer. "Bye Bye There!", the theme of the very last stage, The Crumbling Tower Of Pizza, is a remix of "It's Pizza Time!" made to sound more and more uplifting as the level progresses instead of threatening and chaotic. | |

The first room of the final level after knocking out the original Pillar John is the "Staff Only" hub, with the giant statue of Pillar John in the background, which falls immediately as you enter. However, he's smiling and giving the thumbs up instead of looking miserable. | |

Dynamic Difficulty: As the player defeats enemies, a 'Heat Meter' increases.

The meter slowly decreases over time, so the player must keep a fast pace through the level if they want to maximize their points. | |

| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_6602cad | comment |
Permanently Missable Content: A handful of outfit colors have unlock criteria that require trying again on a new save file if they're missed. Downplayed because unlocked clothes carry over between save files, meaning that you can still have them unlocked on files that the conditions weren't met in. For this reason, clothes don't contribute to completion percentage. "Sage Blue" is unlocked by clearing all of World 1's levels in under an hour. "Money Green" is unlocked by having the maximum amount of money by World 2, which means collecting all of the Toppins in the first 2 worlds before buying access to The Vigilante's boss gate. "War Camo" is unlocked by clearing War, one of the three last stages in the game, on your first try. "John Suit" is unlocked by finishing the game with all of the secret treasures collected in under 2 hours and 15 minutes. There is one piece of missable content that doesn't carry over between saves: If you kill Snotty in world 4's hub, you won't be able to receive the associated badge on your save file. You can modify your save file to revive him and receive the badge anyway, but if you do, a Granny on the first floor will mention at the end of her normal dialogue that "Snotty will remember what you did!" | |

Stealth-Based Mission | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_6638c7f7 | comment |
Stealth-Based Mission: Zigzagged with Don't Make A Sound. On one hand, it features all the hallmarks of the genre, like a dark atmosphere, guards that sound the alarm when you are spotted, and invincible chasers running after you if your cover is blown. On the other, you are very much encouraged to go as fast as possible rather than attempt to hide (guards only ring the alarm five seconds after spotting you, so you should kill them quickly) and the stage forces you to deliberately trigger a chase multiple times, to get a few doors to open and use one of said chasers to punch through normally indestructible blocks. | |

Goomba Stomp | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_679d7cc7 | comment |
Goomba Stomp: Some transformations allow the player to defeat enemies by jumping on them. Peppino's normal stomp just temporarily knocks the enemies back and maybe stuns them for a brief period of time. Meanwhile, Gustavo, as a pastiche of Mario, plays the trope straight; jumping on an enemy when playing as Gustavo (with or without riding Brick) will instantly kill them. | |

Only the Chosen May Wield | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_6aada778 | comment |
Only the Chosen May Wield: Early level "Pizzascape" is a medieval stage that features the Knight transformation as its primary gimmick, acquired by grabbing a sword out of a stone in an homage to the original legend of King Arthur and the sword in the stone. The trope is shown in full during the final boss; when Pizzahead attempts to grab a sword from offscreen, his effort to bring it up to the battlefield ends up upheaving an entire chunk of the tower with the sword in the stone still attached. Suprisingly, the Noise can still grab it, despite being a maniac. | |

Pizzaface acts as a Mook Maker, summoning enemies in increasing amounts that you must launch at him to defeat him. The second phase forces you against the mastermind, Pizzahead, in a shootout, with the broken down Pizzaface mech returning to drop gears on the battlefield, while the mascot gone mad attacks you with bizzare and wacky moves. Then comes a Boss Rush against truncated versions of the previous four bosses, followed by one final battle against Pizzahead. | |

| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: A giant pizza threatened to shoot a laser at your restaurant. The story doesn't get any deeper than that, with the gameplay being the full focus of the experience. The final boss battle zig-zags this by featuring a major twist, but it's easy to miss unless you've either followed the development of the game or paid attention to the recurring image of Pizza Boy throughout the game. Playing as the Noise does away with the plot, though in the ending it’s revealed that the whole thing was just a movie. | |

What the Hell, Player?: Every ten times you get penalized from taking damage, a "You hurt Peppino X times" message will pop up with bizarre imagery on the hud's TV screen, such as Peppino contorting himself or a Mechanical Abomination version of Gustavo. This goes up to 100 hits and the last three pictures in the finished game are redrawn versions of the original ones from when this mechanic first appeared. Funnily enough, you can actually unlock an outfit by taking damage enough times. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: Almost all of the title cards are this in some form. An In-Universe, Title Card version: the one used in "Don't Make A Sound" has Peppino happily frolicking with the various Toppin Monsters on a blue-skied backdrop. The actual level is a Whole-Plot Reference to Five Nights at Freddy's, in which they are out for blood and will dish out some of the heaviest score penalties in the game if they get Peppino. Amusingly enough, the text clashes with the rest of the Title Card by being rather ominous in its design; from its blood red color, small size, and intimidating font style used. The same can be said for the Title Card for "Golf", but with the opposite tone. It looks like an action-movie poster, featuring a blood splattered Peppino wielding a golf club and a shotgun in a golf-themed hellscape. The actual level ranks as one of the goofiest in the entire game, taking place in a mini-golf diner where you knock around the diner's owner into basketball hoops, and the shotgun never appears in this stage in any capacity. The stage does have demons, at least. Oregano Desert has an alien cow in a UFO chasing Peppino in the distance. While there are aliens, cows, and UFOs, funnily enough, none of these things are able to hurt Peppino in any form aside from being a nuisance for your combo counter. Fastfood Saloon has Peppino getting into some trouble with Ranch Shooters. Realistically, they are a Nervous Wreck that only shoots out of self-defense. Deep Dish 9 shows Peppino fight aliens that never actually show up in the actual level. The Olives are the closest to being aliens you fight, though it's most likely because you thrashed their UFO back in Oregano Desert, as most of them are harmless there. | |

Gretzky Has the Ball | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_78c9ebbf | comment |
Gretzky Has the Ball: Part of the humor in "Golf". The gimmick of the level is hitting Greaseball across courses using a golf club, and burger golfers are present as new enemies, but Peppino can ram Greaseball with his charging attack instead of using a club, the goal of each course is a basketball hoop (the owner couldn't afford golf holes), another new enemy wears a baseball helmet and mitt, and the level's Stupid Rats are shaped like bowling pins and get knocked over by the Ball transformation from the aforementioned baseball enemies. Also, the scoring names are weird and unlike golf terminology — getting par or lower is dubbed a "primo burg", for example. The Noise even cheats when playing as him, increasing the par if you go above it, making it impossible to get anything below a primo burg. | |

Rocket Ride: Deep-Dish 9 level features a rocket powerup that causes Peppino to ride in front of a rocket. Some screen transitions also have him literally board a rocket to another planet, much to his horror. | |

Switching to Gustavo and Brick pops up a title card for the "Gustavo and Brick Hour". Switching back to Peppino has one that portrays him as a silly Waddling Head and very disdainfully reads, "Back to that guy". When playing as the Noise, it's instead the “Noise and Noise Hour�, with two Noise heads in place of Gustavo and Brick, and switching back shows “Back to that Noise!� | |

Sore Loser: The Noise abhors D-ranks, donning a Nightmare Face and straight-up ordering the player to "DIE" (at least, we assume that's what that text says) on the results screen if he earns one. His reactions for the succeeding ranks are calmer, but he's never impressed unless you win an S-rank. | |

Speedrun Reward: Normally it takes clearing each stage once to unlock their Lap 2 portal, but if you clear the tutorial fast enough, they will all be available from the get-go. During Peppino's final judgement, you'll get unique judgements by either completing the game in under 2 hours, or under 4 hours with at least 95% completion. One of the chef tasks requires beating the John Gutter level in under two minutes. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Falling down a pit will have a "Technical Difficulty" cut-in screen before respawning Peppino at the nearest checkpoint. Said screens feature Pizzaface laughing at Peppino laying in the Family Guy death pose on top of a plate of spaghetti and bones (with the spaghetti sauce looking like blood), laying down in a chair with bandages and casts over his body, or looking annoyed about some ice cream that just fell out of his cone. | |

Player Death Is Dramatic | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_83d20bbf | comment |
Player Death Is Dramatic: Considering how most of the misfortune that can befall Peppino is Played for Laughs, it's a bit surprising this is played straight. However, there are 2 variants of this. If the player runs the clock out during Pizza Time, and Pizzaface catches up to Peppino, everything except for the latter vanishes into a black void while he has a shocked expression. Then the words "Time's Up" fall on top of him, sending him falling down off of the screen. If the player runs out of life during a boss fight, Peppino is sent flying before falling down to the ground as everything else fades to black. He is left crumpled on the floor covered in bruises. | |

Songs in the Key of Panic: If the time runs low during "Pizza Time", its pace gets much faster. An inversion happens if the time gets very low, in which case it slows down instead. The Lap 2 theme "The Death I Deservioli" starts off pretty simple before it slowly speeds up and becomes an incredibly frantic song that tells you to run like hell. | |

Playing with a Trope | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_8741b74 | comment |
Played with, as most of the game's difficulty comes from getting the best rank in stages. You can't really lose a level prior to Pizza Time, and the enemies usually go down pretty easily to Peppino's abilities. In the boss levels, though, you have a limited amount of Hit Points before you lose the fight and have to start all over again, and the bosses themselves are fast-paced, have more health than you, and a gradually expanding array of moves, up to a Final Boss which is also a Marathon Boss. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |

Bait-and-Switch: At the end of the boss fight with the Noise, he suddenly gets a minigun and is about to attack again, only for Noisette to show up and drag him away from the arena, ending the fight. The next boss follows as well. The boss gate has Peppino's face on it, and entering the gate starts a fight against another Peppino. After the VS. Screen, it's promptly revealed that it's not a Mirror Match, but instead a fight against Fake Peppino. Played for laughs regarding Don't Make a Sound. The title screen itself depicts Peppino and the Toppin Monsters from the level happily frolicking in a meadow, having fun. The stage itself takes place in a dingy pizzeria, with the monsters being FAR from friendly. | |

Hit Stop | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_88a740b0 | comment |
Hit Stop: Time briefly freezes when ramming an enemy at high speed. Hitting a boss when they have 1 hit point left will cause time to slow down while a dramatic zoom pulls in on Peppino and the boss in the moment before impact. The hit stop for dashing into enemies is exploited at the end of The Crumbling Tower of Pizza; when Peppino has barreled through every other obstacle, the Tower's last resort is to spawn a large number of harmless cardboard cutouts in his way, each of which will trigger the hit stop and cost a couple extra seconds before he can reach the door. | |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_902fa0b4 | comment |
Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: Fake Peppino very deliberately has no build-up or foreshadowing to his existence to make his reveal that much more shocking. And even after, thanks to Pizza Tower's very minimalistic storytelling, there is exactly zero explanation offered as to where he came from, why he's there, how he came to be, whether he's artificial or was just born like that, if he's loyal to Pizzaface or a Punch-Clock Villain, or what the hell he even is. He's just… Fake Peppino, and he exists. The Doise comes out of nowhere, with only a minor reference in Pizzascare’s background beforehand to be the Noise’s third boss, then he gets Killed Off for Real at the end of it, and only reappears as a corpse in the final boss rush. | |

Our Goblins Are Different: A number of enemies are based on goblins: Pepperoni Goblins are giant grinning pepperonis who will kick the player if they approach them, causing the Ball transformation. Pizza Box Goblins are goblins coming out of pizza boxes who throw Cartoon Bombs at the player which they can pick up. They have an Underground Monkey variant in the Cannon Pizza Goblins, who wear pirate bandanas and fire bombs from cannons which travel in a straight line and can't be picked up. Noise Goblins are introduced in the Gnome Forest level. They're goblins with faces similar to the Noise who attack Peppino by shooting arrows at him. | |

"It's Pizza Time!", the song used for when it's Pizza Time, goes into a fast-paced climax when the timer is down to the last minute, that then slows way down right as the timer hits zero. After that, you're left with the sound of a clock ticking as you try to escape Pizzaface. | |

He Was Right There All Along | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_9553214b | comment |
In the same stage as above mentioned, in the background, all four Toppin Monsters encountered in the stage can be seen inactive… except there's what appears to be a Pizza Boy animatronic dancing on stage. In progressing through the stage, as the monsters become hostile, the Pizza Boy is the only one who never shows up to attack you. Then, in the backroom area, you see it is because the Pizza Boy animatronic has been hanging dormant up in chains the entire time. What you saw on stage was the actual Pizza Boy, who in two stages' time will be revealed as having been the true antagonist all along, now rechristened Pizzahead. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: For Wario Land 4 players: Holding the dash button alone will start Peppino's dash — You do not have to actually hold a direction to get the dash going. Although doing so will slowly transition the dash from Mach 3 to Mach 4, but sometimes players will want to stay at Mach 3 for less speed and more control, making it essential to realize exactly how the dash mechanic works. The Super Jump has constantly been compared to the Shinespark from various Metroid titles, but it doesn't work exactly the same — Pizza Tower has you press up, not down, to store the jump. Plus, you'll have to hold up to keep the jump charged, keeping it held while pressing left or right if you want to move while it's stored. Releasing up will perform the jump immediately. For most of the game, the attack button serves as a way to get Peppino to do his Dash Attack, which serves as a nice way to build up momentum and begin running up walls. If he's holding a shotgun, though, the attack button instead has him shoot, which halts his momentum and won't allow him to run up walls. Due to the Noise's moveset being just similar enough but also critically different from Peppino's in extremely important ways, you will experience some growing pains of messing up otherwise easy jumps or other acrobatics after switching between the characters. | |

If the player runs the clock out during Pizza Time, and Pizzaface catches up to Peppino, everything except for the latter vanishes into a black void while he has a shocked expression. Then the words "Time's Up" fall on top of him, sending him falling down off of the screen. | |

Cerebus Rollercoaster: The game starts out fairly goofy in the first few levels, before becoming a bit more grim and gritty in the fourth hub. Then the boss fight against Fake Peppino happens, marking the game's move towards a more horror-inspired atmosphere. Then the final hub becomes mostly horror themed, only for the final boss to swing the mood back around to goofy with the reveal of Pizzahead and Peppino's anger-induced power-up to defeat him. | |

Combos: Beat up multiple enemies in a row for bonus points. Combos can also be maintained by picking up items (although this does not increase the combo meter). From the tenth combo on, you can use the taunt action once as a Smart Bomb by holding Up as you perform it. P Ranks require you to kill at least one enemy in the first screen of a given stage and then never drop the following combo until the end. | |

Double Jump | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_9af10b44 | comment |
All of Gustavo & Brick's Double Jumps end with them doing a particularly weighty ground pound, which has the same destructive properties as Peppino's version. Pressing down in the air has Gustavo dismount Brick (if he hasn't already) to stomp the ground, which lacks most offensive traits of the other pounds but is still useful if you need to quickly descend or destroy weak blocks below. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: The Toppin Monsters in "Don't Make A Sound" are each based (some more loosely than others) on one of the five Toppins you can collect, and are encountered in the same order you normally pick up the respective Toppins (Mushroom, Cheese, Tomato, Sausage, and Pineapple). To further drive the point home, each actual Toppin is collected during the stretch of level that contains their counterpart, with the Pineapple Toppin and Toppin Monster both only appearing during Pizza Time, reflecting how the Pineapple Toppin often can only be collected while escaping. Each boss in the game has an attack style that's similar to Peppino on some level: Pepperman's movement and attacks are primarily a counterpoint to Peppino at his baseline as an Expy of Wario, with a shoulder bash, ground pound, self-absorbed nature, and shrinking after taking enough damage. Vigilante acts as a compliment to Peppino's weaponry — even giving Peppino a revolver to match his own — and a few more advanced moves like sliding. The Noise is based around Peppino's high-speed movement, chaining moves together, and — to his own detriment — using the taunt to extend combos. Fake Peppino is of course, a textbook example of those moves being applied literally rather than figuratively, as each of Fake Peppino's moves is a direct copy of something Peppino himself can do, even translating the screen-clearing taunt as a projectile attack. Pizzahead focuses on the transformations, starting out with the revelation that Pizzaface is just a tool of his, utilizing different items that Peppino encountered earlier in the tower (even referencing Gustavo's tandem abilities with Brick), brings in his own "Special Guests" in the form of the four previous bosses, and eventually settles on morphing his body in different ways to exaggerate his attacks. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Going for Lap 2 during Pizza Time. That means warping from the entrance back to the far end of the level again, thus having to speedily rush back to the entrance once more, during a Timed Mission, and for which you won't be given extra time to complete (except in War, in which it only compensates for that level's gimmick of extending the time limit by finding items). But not only does initiating Lap 2 give you a massive point bonus, it also respawns any enemies and bonus pickups exclusive to Pizza Time, making it absolutely essential for scoring high enough to get S-Rank and P-Rank. | |

Interface Spoiler | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_9cb3e22e | comment |
Interface Spoiler: Due to the game sticking to a formula of four levels and one boss per floor, it's easy to see that the fifth floor only has three visible levels and conclude that the fourth level comes after the final boss, and the fact that you can encounter John Blocks in the hub levels spells out that you'll activate Pizza Time to escape the tower at some point; both of these refer to the same level, the Crumbling Tower of Pizza. Defied when it comes to bosses. Fake Peppino's identity as the fourth boss is deliberately devoid of foreshadowing in the entire game prior to fighting him, to the point where even his Chef Task icon for beating him without taking damage is just a blank icon. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: You'll often find cardboard cutouts and advertising tied to a pizza slice-shaped mascot called Pizza Boy, including a poster in one of the backgrounds of the "Don't Make a Sound" stage set in his pizzeria stating it went out of business. In fact, he's prominently displayed in the main menu under your game completion percentage — looking more and more angry as you make progress. He's the mastermind behind the game's events and wants to destroy Peppino's restaurant out of spite. In the same stage as above mentioned, in the background, all four Toppin Monsters encountered in the stage can be seen inactive… except there's what appears to be a Pizza Boy animatronic dancing on stage. In progressing through the stage, as the monsters become hostile, the Pizza Boy is the only one who never shows up to attack you. Then, in the backroom area, you see it is because the Pizza Boy animatronic has been hanging dormant up in chains the entire time. What you saw on stage was the actual Pizza Boy, who in two stages' time will be revealed as having been the true antagonist all along, now rechristened Pizzahead. One of the pizza lady NPCs babbles a Wall of Text that sounds nonsensical and yet plainly states somebody tied to Peppino's past will become involved once he arrives at the top of the tower. In Pig City, there is a billboard of Pizzahead standing on top of the tower. Throughout the various hubs, you can notice the same blocks that switch from solid to transparent and vice versa during Pizza Time present and blocking off parts alongside transparent collectibles. Almost as if you'll be running through the hubs on a time limit after the Final Boss... Gustavo can be seen being chased by a rat in the first hub, and then engaging it in a fistfight in the second. By the third, he and the rat have befriended each other. Sure enough, Gustavo becomes playable from the third hub onwards. Peppino is depicted in Golf's title card as wielding a shotgun. While he doesn't get one in the level itself, he does get to use a shotgun in Don't Make A Sound and WAR, to devastating effect. The title card for The Pig City features a "Wanted!" Poster of Peppino on it. Sure enough, he gets arrested halfway into the stage proper, with Gustavo having to bust him out. | |

The Gloves Come Off: When Pizzahead decides to shove a Boss Rush into his final phase, Peppino loses the last shred of patience he has and starts going all-out. Every punch then becomes a flurry of hits that do four times as much damage, reducing the effective Health of each one by three quarters. The Noise enters a Super Mode during the Boss Rush when playing as him, tossing a "flurry of bombs" when hitting a boss with one, doing four damage for each hit. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The Peppino's Final Judgement screen shows a dark silhouette on a dark background with Glowing Eyes of Doom and only a Drone of Dread playing. It's immediately followed by the End-Game Results Screen, which is comical no matter your rank. The Episode Title Card for "Don't Make A Sound" featuring Peppino happily frolicking with the Toppin Monsters in a sunny field is completely at odds with the level's floor, the other levels found in said floor and the level itself. Conversely, the title card for Golf is a Doom-esque movie poster showing a buff Peppino carrying a golf club and pointing a shotgun at the screen saying "You're dead meat!" The level itself is a mostly lighthearted one taking place inside a run-down mini-golf diner where you either football tackle the owner or strike him with a golf club to launch him into basketball hoops to play "golf" to a low-key but catchy tune, although there are demons present for some reason. The Doise’s corpse being thrown up during the Noise’s final boss rush, doing nothing for a Beat, before being flung off the screen as Fake Peppino jumps in is a comical moment of nothing within the awesome boss rush. | |

Practical Taunt | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_a9708f7e | comment |
Practical Taunt: Peppino's taunt button lets him use a screen-clearing nuke every time you rack up ten combos, which is a clutch move to keep the combo gauge from running out. Taunting allows you to Bullet Catch projectiles, and Counter-Attack nearby enemies. Taunting also halts your momentum during the animation, allowing you to do things like wait for stage hazards to move out of the way without coming to a complete stop and having to build your speed back up. Especially useful during boss fights, where taunting can keep you in the air as an attack passes by on the ground. Reached the exit during Pizza Time and have some seconds to spare? Taunting a couple of times in front of the door while you have a combo going will let you milk a couple extra points before you leave the level. Doing this the max amounts of times you can, while keeping your combo, lets you unlock an outfit for the Noise. Taunting makes enemies react faster, which is useful if their attacks trigger transformations on Peppino. In "Don't Make a Sound", taunting while a patroller is onscreen instantly alerts the monsters. This saves time on the sections where letting the timer of a security drone run out is required to open gates. This is also the only way to get the achievement for deflecting a Noise Goblin’s arrow back at them as the Noise, since they won’t attack him normally. | |

Save the Villain | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_ac560dc4 | comment |
Save the Villain: In the final level, Peppino frantically dashes to get out of the now crumbling tower and rescues not just Gustavo, Brick, Mr. Stick, Gerome, and Mort, but Pepperman, the Vigilante, the Noise, and Fake Peppino, too. The fact that he goes out of his way to save the bosses implies that, despite all the mayhem and chaos they put him through, Peppino apparently believes that they don't deserve to be left to die. Inverted when doing the same level as The Noise, who will only save his girlfriend and a Noisey, instead knocking out of their way the others. | |

Oh, Crap!: Enemies visibly freak out when the player character is about to ram into them at top speed, complete with Wild Takes. Charging at enemies who are normally dangerous to approach head-on will also cause them to panic and drop their guard. Even the otherwise unflappable and utterly irreverent Pizzahead has a moment of fearful shock when Peppino goes completely berserk when he tries to initiate a Boss Rush. He gets an even worse one when the Noise throws a gigantic noise bomb at him at the end of the boss rush in the Noise’s campaign. | |

Variable Mix | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_b06ff73b | comment |
Variable Mix: Multiple levels each have two different variations of their background music, depending on what section of said levels you're in. This applies to the following levels: Pizzascape: "Hot Spaghetti"/"Cold Spaghetti". Ancient Cheese: "Theatrical Shenanigans"/Put On A Show"!! Oregano Desert: "Oregano Mirage"/"Oregano UFO". Peppibot Factory: "Pizza Engineer"/"Peppino's Sauce Machine". Refrigerator-Refrigerador-Freezerator: "Don't Preheat Your Oven Because If You Do The Song Won't Play"/"Celsius Troubles". It then switches to "On The Rocks", which is very different from the previous two. In addition, the following levels switch to a completely different background theme in their respective second halves: Fun Farm starts with "Mort's Farm" and switches to "What's On The Kids Menu?" Gnome Forest starts with "mmm yess put the tree on my pizza", switches to "Gustavo" for the Gustavo & Brick tutorial, then switches again to "Wudpecker". The Pig City starts with "Bite The Crust", which in turn is based on Another One Bites The Dust. When Gustavo & Brick's segment starts, the music changes to "Way Of The Pig". The theme "Secret Hoppin'", which plays in the secret rooms, has a variant for each level's main musical motif. For example, "A Secret Under The Debris" is based on "Theatrical Shenanigans" but with the instrumentation and tempo of "Secret Hoppin'". The Hub Level theme varies depending on what floor you are on, and changes from one to another without interruptions when moving between floors. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: The Turbo Tunnel achievement requires clearing the first room of Deep-Dish Nine's escape — a long vertical shaft where you use the olive transformation to fly up it — without touching the ceiling. Dodging the ceilings using the olive can be a tad tricky, but actually using the olive is completely optional. Running up the walls and simply jumping off to the other before hitting each pillar — an extremely easy task — does count as clearing the first room without touching the ceiling, even if it's not the intended solution to the room at all. | |

Hard Levels, Easy Bosses | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_b4696bc | comment |
Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: If you're content with just getting through the level, it's the opposite trope, but if you're going for S and P ranks, it becomes this. While the bosses are no slouch, their attack patterns are clear, learnable, and short, and a decent player can memorize their procedure after a few replays. Levels, on the other hand, have a lot more that a player has to commit to memory in order to score S — and especially P — ranks. Couple that with having to execute precise platforming perfectly twice in one go on Lap 2 runs, and suddenly the No-Damage Run boss fights don't sound so bad. | |

After the opening, it cuts to Peppino sitting in his restaurant with the lights turned off. Pressing anything toggles the lights and enables the file select menu, with Peppino looking nervously at monitors around him. Taking too long to turn on the lights causes him to Jump Scare you and shut the game down. | |

Dungeon Bypass | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_b4d6aa7d | comment |
Dungeon Bypass: Triggering the escape sequence during "Golf" blocks off the only exit to the Final Course, requiring Peppino to take a lengthy alternate route to get back to the door. However, an inventive player can skip past all this by lining up one of the burger golfers to knock Greaseball into the level's Pillar John, then quickly sprinting back to the entrance before it does so, as seen here. Normally at the end of "Pizzascare", the Ghost King will block off the passageway to Pillar John, forcing the player to run through an enemy-filled tunnel in order to trap him inside a TV — then run through the tunnel a second time once the countdown has started to free him before they can continue the level. Letting Peppino reach his maximum speed before entering the passageway, however, allows him to barrel straight through it before the King has the chance to get into position, skipping the tunnel entirely. | |

Action Horror: The atmosphere of Don't Make A Sound is uniformly oppressive and haunting to convey its status as a Shout-Out to Five Nights at Freddy's, ducking and weaving between the sightlines of unique enemies that can do serious damage and Jump Scare the camera if they catch you; the game allows you to go fast, but it will punish you hard if you screw up. When Pillar John gets taken out, the level leans more heavily on the action side: Peppino has a shotgun (The Noise gets a gatling gun) and can decimate the monsters that once hounded him down. | |

Timed Mission | |

Timed Mission: Once the Pillar John at the end of every level is defeated, a timer appears, and if it runs out before you reach the end of the level, Pizzaface will spawn and chase you down, killing you instantly on contact. The "WAR" level is the counterpart to Wario Land 4's Golden Passage level, where the level is already on a timer from the very beginning once you pick up the shotgun. Meanwhile, The Crumbling Tower of Pizza lacks Pizzaface due to him being defeated, but instead is a race to get out of the Pizza Tower before it collapses, with the original Pillar John being destroyed at the very beginning. Pizzaface's icon on the timer is fittingly replaced by a cracked, crumbling Pizza Tower. The hidden bonus level, Secrets of the World, is a marathon of all the secrets in the game. If you spend longer than 25 seconds in any one of the secrets, you instantly fail. | |

Big Boo's Haunt | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_bda2d236 | comment |
Big Boo's Haunt: "Wasteyard" combines this with The Wild West, Creepy Cemetery, and Underground Level. Peppino has to deal with Pizza-ghosts, and some segments where he surfs on corpses. An enemy can turn Peppino into a ghost, where he can pass through barriers and collects "Ghost Peppers" to power him up. Also, knocking out Pillar John in this level results in him returning as a Vengeful Ghost who chases you during the Escape Sequence. In "Pizzascare", a Darker and Edgier horror-themed variation on the medieval-themed "Pizzascape", ghosts are a common enemy in the level that require blessings from an exorcist to defeat, and the level also has a recurring gimmick in the form of King Ghost, who trails behind Peppino in segments and activates traps along the way. | |

Jump Scare | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_c04b1231 | comment |
Jump Scare: "Don't Make a Sound" is largely a reference to the Five Nights at Freddy's series, with a variety of creatures that hunt Peppino down and on contact trigger a full screen scare that wastes the player's time by restarting the area. Pre-release builds used to have a static Fade In effect to keep those from being startling, but it's gone in the final version. Some of the monsters are actually creepy, but one is just an Elvis impersonator who gives finger guns. Also, they'll randomly celebrate Oktoberfest instead of jumping the player, while still briefly turning Peppino into a doll. The Noise just dies and becomes a corpse. Waiting too long to push any buttons at the title screen causes Peppino to suddenly lunge towards the screen screaming and force the game to close. The 2023 Halloween update adds cardboard cutouts in the HUB that pop out of the floor when Peppino walks next to them. | |

Nice Mean And In Between: Gustavo, Mr. Stick, and Peppino respectively (when Mr. Stick's paired up with Pep and Gus). Gustavo being an all round good chum to Peppino, Mr. Stick for being a stingy, money-loving grouch, and Peppino due to his constant fluctuation between perpetual anxiety and absolute fury who can be a nice guy when the chips are down. | |

Show Within a Show: Noise's campaign upon completion is revealed to have been his own produced movie adaptation of the game itself, as him and the bosses are seen in the end screen tearing down a movie set with the title card Pizza Tower: The Movie. The final judgement completion percentage also plays out in the form of critics giving a Rotten Tomatoes-style percentage review. This also applies to Swap Mode, which bases itself off of Noise's campaign despite featuring Peppino (and Gustavo) as playable. The end screen is the same as in Noise's campaign, but with the reveal that Peppino and Gustavo were being performed by actors. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Present in certain demos was a co-op feature, in which Peppino works with the Noise to beat levels, and to emphasize that the two are... not on friendly terms, there are various competitive elements in co-op (players are encouraged to fight each other to switch the leader, and the one to score the most points overall and win is the one to announce the Rank at the end of the level while the loser explodes). | |

Nice Guy | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: Gustavo is much more upbeat than the anxious and rage-fuelled Peppino, and is seen being helpful and supportive in all of his interactions with Peppino. He even manages to befriend Brick, one of the Stupid Rats that normally block Peppino's path, after being chased around and then scuffling with the rodent for a floor. He'll even help Peppino during the final boss, jumping on to the stage so that Peppino can throw him at the Vigilante, who is otherwise unable to be stunned and damaged without the gun that Peppino had in the original fight. The only time Gustavo's cheerful demeanor drops is in an early version of Gnome Forest, where failing to deliver one of his pizzas in time would cause him to give a rage-fueled beatdown to Peppino that drains the latter's score as penalty. | |

Scoring Points: The player is ranked for score performance in each stage. This involves finding every secret, making multiple combos, avoiding damage, and escaping before the primary timer runs out. The challenge of the levels comes from scoring these points in addition to escaping in time; other than Pizzaface, taking damage won't cause a fail-state in the game's levels. | |

Rage Breaking Point: Peppino engages Pizzaface in combat with a dead serious demeanor for once, doing a Battle Cry and having an angry posture while idling. When Pizzahead brings the previous four bosses back for a rematch, Peppino then goes absolutely feral in response and begins shredding 4 entire hit points off the bosses and Pizzahead every time he lunges at them. | |

Evil Knockoff: Three cases. The Peppino Robots are introduced in Peppibot Factory and look like robotic copies of Peppino who roll around on a single wheeled leg. When they spot the player, they attempt to attack them using moves similar to those of Peppino himself. Peppino Clones appear in WAR. They look identical to the real Peppino, but become deformed and reveal a long tongue when they attack. They also dissolve when they die and ribbit like frogs when they attempt to lick the player. The fourth boss is Fake Peppino, a warped Humanoid Abomination version of Peppino with a similar moveset to the real Peppino's. | |

Defeat Equals Friendship: Gustavo gets chased by Brick in the first hub level, and in the second, they're tangled in a Big Ball of Violence. In the third, they're wrapped in bandages and giving each other the thumbs-up, teaming up to become playable in the levels. Pepperman, The Vigilante, and The Noise hold a grudge against Peppino after being defeated on their first encounter, but after the final fight, they and Fake Peppino will take Peppino's lead as they escape from the collapsing tower. The credits show them in rather amicable terms, and in the end screen, they're all seen hanging out at the restaurant after Peppino offers them free pizza. | |

Fire-Breathing Diner | |

Fire-Breathing Diner: The Oregano Desert level introduces enemies called Kentucky Kennies, who try to throw spicy chicken wings into Peppino's mouth. When Peppino swallows one of these chicken wings, he starts breathing fire, becoming slightly harder to control, but gains the ability to kill enemies on contact and do an air dash in midair. Near the end of the Refrigerator-Refrigerador-Freezerator level, you get a slice of Pepper Pizza which takes this up to 11. Not only is Peppino's skin cherry red from eating it, but the heat of the pizza is enough to propel him through the air and spin, and you can destroy enemies and ice blocks on contact. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: One in-game achievement requires you to find a hidden room made out of bacon in The Pig City with a few bacon pickups that don't appear anywhere else. No music plays in it other than droning noises while a giant pig approaches from the background... but all it does upon getting close enough is give Peppino a thumbs up before disappearing. When Peppino first enters "Don't Make a Sound", a Pizza Boy animatronic can be seen alongside the Mushroom, Tomato, and Sausage Toppin Monsters on the stage in the background. When Peppino returns to the area during Pizza Time, the stage is empty, but whereas the Toppin Monsters have been the main threats throughout the level, the Pizza Boy animatronic is gone with no indication as to where it went. And it's never encountered at any point in the level; the closest you get are broken-down animatronics of the Pizza Boy character, implying that the Pizza Boy on the stage is not an animatronic, but the ACTUAL Pizza Boy, AKA Pizzahead, in disguise, watching you... | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Compared to all the other levels in the Vacation Resort, which include a Pirate's cove, a forest full of gnomes! and a Space Zone, "Golf" is set on a mini-golf course. That doesn't mean it's any less fast-paced or kooky, though. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Gustavo, Mr. Stick, Noisey, and/or Noisette will stomp any enemies on their way down during Pizza Time. This includes a rather infamous slope in Pizzascape. When playing as The Noise, Noisette will replace Mr. Stick as the Cash Gate for boss fights, and she will give The Noise a sloppy kiss after he pays her. However, if you are playing Swap Mode and switch to Peppino before paying Noisette, she will fly off without a kiss. | |

Knockback | |

Knockback: Upon getting hit, the player is knocked back pretty far. Enemies can also get knocked back when the player stomps on them and bumps into them without having momentum to kill them. | |

Easy Levels, Hard Bosses | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_d4fa75fc | comment |
Easy Levels, Hard Bosses: Played with, as most of the game's difficulty comes from getting the best rank in stages. You can't really lose a level prior to Pizza Time, and the enemies usually go down pretty easily to Peppino's abilities. In the boss levels, though, you have a limited amount of Hit Points before you lose the fight and have to start all over again, and the bosses themselves are fast-paced, have more health than you, and a gradually expanding array of moves, up to a Final Boss which is also a Marathon Boss. Played straight for P-Ranking — while regular levels are challenging, they're consistent and somewhat forgiving (If you can follow the line the stage is designed for, you can make mistakes and still P-Rank). Bosses are much more difficult, due to randomized debris being a feature for all of their fights, and if you take any damage at all, you have to start the entire fight over. Even with liberal use of the parry, you can easily take stray damage since you have to watch Peppino, the boss, and any debris that shows up on the stage, and it's entirely possible to end up in a situation where you parry one obstacle or the boss and immediately get hit by something else (as there's a parry cooldown, but no mercy invincibility during). | |

| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_d6dee153 | comment |
Tactical Suicide Boss: Pepperman would be invincible if he kept using the dash attack similar to Peppino's and didn't randomly stop to let Peppino knock him off the tower. An unused boss fight with the Noise has him on top of a pogo contraption and wearing a helmet, so he can only be stunned by jumping or ground pounding on him. However, he constantly spawns small minions into the arena, which can be thrown at him to temporarily ground him and his contraption, allowing Peppino to whale on him. He gains a Shockwave Stomp attack in phase two....that leaves him stranded on the ground for quite some time, and spawns flunkies. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Your dash getting interrupted and your combo ruined by an enemy with the ability to damage you has the potential to be very frustrating for speedrunning (which was in fact a big hassle in the newer Wario Land games), so this game gets around that by having enemies drop their guard in fear if you're coming at them at a dash speed of Mach 3 or higher, allowing players to barrel though normally harmful enemies if they keep their speed up. Plus, the few enemies that aren't scared of you speeding at them take a second before they can attack, making them also vulnerable to the dash if you're fast enough. After charging a Super Jump, you can slowly move Peppino left and right to adjust where he'll jump from, in case you didn't get the timing precisely how you wanted it. Relatedly, you enter doors in the levels by pressing up, which is incidentally how you charge a Super Jump while dashing. If your timing isn't perfect and you end up charging a Super Jump instead of opening a door, you can slowly walk Peppino to the door, and he'll enter it once close enough. The combo meter will pause its drain during certain situations where Peppino cannot move, such as lining up a shot with Greaseball during Golf or during the cutscene for opening locked doors, as to prevent unfair loss of a combo when the player is unable to do anything. On that same note, hitting Greaseball himself with an attack or putting him will reset your combo timer, making getting a P-Rank on Golf way less difficult. Similarly, the qualifications for getting a P-Rank are hard, but not merciless. While dropping your combo is an instant fail, taking damage does not disqualify you from a P-Rank note But it does cut the time by half of the base time until you extend your combo. This allows you to easily keep up a P-Rank run even if you mess up here or there. In addition, the screen-clearing Super Taunt counts as a combo hit if it kills an enemy, giving you a free way to extend a P-Rank attempt every few minutes. During Pizza Time, enemies that weren’t explicitly spawned during said escape or Stupid Rats will not respawn if you end up running through a previous room, with puzzles or destroyed blocks also staying solved/busted. This comes in handy if one tends to struggle to flee to the exit, or if one’s going for Lap 2 and running up close to the end of the time limit. When Pizza Time occurs, Gustavo and Mr. Stick will often jump in, pointing to the route leading to the start. Given how large the levels are, this is helpful in preventing players from getting lost on the way back to the beginning of the level. Going into Secret Rooms during Pizza Time will pause the Pizza Time timer so that you're not pressured to complete them quickly or skip them. Note that this does not apply to WAR's bomb timer. Enemies usually make it obvious if they can damage you, such as having spikes or being an obvious attack. Otherwise, enemies — especially bosses — will flash red if making contact with them will damage you. Rooms with Non-Lethal Bottomless Pits tend to have checkpoints in them, which you respawn at should you fall into said pits, cutting down on extra travel time compared to putting you back at the entrance of the room. This, plus the fact falling in a pit doesn't cut a penalty out of your combo timer, helps mitigate maintaining combos in these rooms. Inside the prison room in "The Pig City" is a Pizza Boy Cutout that always respawns when you enter the room for the purpose of refreshing the combo meter, as it is otherwise (outside of the secret room under the toilet) devoid of collectibles to help keep it up. Since Fake Peppino never becomes vulnerable on his own like other bosses, the game displays a grab icon above him whenever he's open to one for the first two hits. All the destroyable blocks during the escape sequence in Fake Peppino's final phase will remain destroyed even after retrying his boss fight, making all subsequent playthroughs of that section easier. Taunting in front of an enemy will cause it to activate any special move it has, such as Kentucky Kenny throwing a spicy chicken wing, or the Patrollers activating the Toppin Monsters, removing any need to wait. This is needed to get the achievement for parrying a Noise Goblin’s arrow as the Noise, because they won’t attack the Noise normally. Enemies being killed through means other than Peppino himself killing them will also count towards the combo meter. It comes in handy in certain level puzzles that require Peppino to wait for an enemy to destroy an obstacle, like Stupid Rats. Restarting a level is snappy and quick; from the moment you press confirm on the "Restart Level" button, the most you have to wait for is the stage door to slam shut behind Peppino (something that takes about a second) before you're able to try the level again. For people attempting S or P rank runs, this can be extremely convenient or even important in speedrun situations. The final boss fight is not only long, but has the attack patterns change completely between phases, what with Phase 1 being Pizzaface, Phase 2 being Pizzahead, and Phase 3 being the boss rush. To compensate for that, the player's health is completely regenerated between phases. In the "WAR" level, the entire level is on a timer, and you need to find and destroy switches to increase the amount of time you have before the bomb goes off. Because this would be pretty redundant to a Pizza Time's escape sequence, this level simply doesn't have Pizza Time. If you're going for Lap 2, there will instead be four switches you can destroy before needing to escape the level again so that you're still properly pressured, just not overly so. While playing as the Noise, The Doise is Killed Off for Real after beating him once, and re-entering the fight will present you with his corpse and an instant victory. However, if you want to earn a P-rank legitimately, or just want to replay the fight, you can respawn him by taunting three times in front of his boss door before entering. The Halloween patch added two "Rat Fairies" to rooms in "Gnome Forest" and "Pizzascare" to top off your combo meter in what was otherwise a long stretch without any pickups or enemies to kill that you would need to play perfectly to not drop your combo on, giving a bit more leeway on those sections. As of the update that added the Noise as a playable character, the combo meter will swap colors if you haven’t lost your combo yet, allowing you to tell if you’re eligible for a P-Rank before getting an S-Rank. Because of how The Noise moves, there's one section of "Peppibot Factory" where it would be nearly impossible to avoid taking damage as him note there's a > shaped turn in the second room with electric sockets on the bottom, top and left wall in a hairpin so tight the Noise's wallbounce will send him into it before you can react, so to keep this from being unavoidable damage, a water bucket is following The Noise at the start of the level and will splash the sockets on the top of the section, shorting them out and removing the hazard. The bucket returns in "WAR" Where it will similarly kill enemies that the Noise would have to go out of his way to kill otherwise because of his more bouncy movement compared to Peppino. During the Noise's version of "The Crumbling Tower of Pizza", he will run over Snotty instead of rescuing him like Peppino does. This may catch you off-guard, but it does not prevent you from earning the "Snotty Approved" badge, merely happening for the Rule of Funny. | |

In the Noise’s campaign, when Pizzahead brings out the boss rush, he simply decides to go Super Mode, flinging tons of bombs rapidly at all of the bosses, finishing things off by throwing a gigantic bomb at Pizzahead. | |

Expy: Courtesy of the SAGE 2019 promos, there's an anthropomorphic purple porcupine with very nice shoes named Snick, who can keep up with Peppino's impressive speed. He appears to exist separately from his inspiration according to the SAGE demo description, as Peppino wanted to go there but ended up at Snick's expo instead. In earlier demos, the Noise could do a floaty jump in a similar manner to Mario using his cape. It was eventually replaced by a jetpack-themed double jump. The Cheese Dragon looks like an overweight, solid yellow Yoshi. He has a very similar face, with small eyes close together, a large, bulbous nose, and a toothless mouth. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: The boss which the Noise faces in World 3 is different, instead being The Doise. And unlike all other bosses, The Doise gets Killed Off for Real, meaning that rematches against them will grant an automatic P rank, and the final boss rush doesn't include them as one of the bosses to defeat due to them remaining dead. Noise Goblins won’t attack you unless you taunt if you’re playing as the Noise. | |

Throw Down the Bomblet: In the pre-2019 demos, if there's an empty window nearby, chances are The Noise is going to throw bombs through it. Pizza Box Goblins throw these around (sometimes getting caught in their own blasts), which Peppino can pick up. These are required to destroy purple bomb blocks. If the Noise presses the attack button during his spinning tackle move, he throws a Noise Bomb, which bounces around for a bit, then explodes upon contact with an enemy or a breakable block. | |

No-Damage Run | |
| Pizza Tower (Video Game) / int_fac8c4d6 | comment |
No-Damage Run: Defeating bosses without taking damage is necessary for a P-Rank on boss stages.note Although it's a bit more complicated than that. What the game actually grades you on is how many health pickups you collect throughout the fight while already at full health, with your remaining health at the end being added to the total. This isn't really noticeable in normal gameplay, since collecting all of them for a P-Rank still requires taking no damage, but can be seen if you modify the game to let you take down bosses faster than you're supposed to, which also doubles as No Fair Cheating. The Final Boss doesn't assign a rank, but does still have an achievement for beating them damage-free. Downplayed with the stages: you still want to avoid taking damage whenever possible, since it drains part of your combo meter and subtracts score, but stages can still be P-Ranked even if you take a couple hits here and there as long as you meet all the requirements. | |
