To be fair this game does take more stuff directly from 4. The toppings are more parallel to the gem tablets and Keyzer, and some level themes are shared between games. There’s also the dash mechanic, though Pizza Tower expanded upon it. It also has much more of the transformation system which Shake It barely used. Shake It was decent but it wasn’t a fantastic Wario Land game and it really wasn’t a great follow up to WL4
Probably my favorite run this event. The energy from the audience, couch, and runner were all great, especially whenever the audience would shout “It’s Pizza Time” in unison.
My current favourite game at GDQ? What a welcome surprise! Loved the audience’s ‘it’s pizza time’ shouts, the pizza topping donation debate, and the audience murmuring after the word ‘impostor’ is said during the Fake Peppino fight.
Fangamer outta nowhere with the unexpected corn & mayo pizza This was a super entertaining run, on the level of Bonesaw's Jak1 run in terms of quality ❤
Missed opportunity not show the "You Are Quick As Hell" at the end of the run but very good run of Pizza Tower!! Can't wait for more runs, runners, AGDQ appearances, and the race to reach sub-hour time!
god it's awesome to see pizza tower at gdq. huge props to the couch and crowd for this run, the sheer fun energy the whole time made this run an absolute joy to watch
This was one of the most absolute fun runs this marathon, matching Clone Hero for me. I loved the crowd's energy, and it was fun seeing people who very much were experiencing this crazy game for the first time.
"It's gonna be painful... *_FOR THEM! :D"_* Truly the best moment in the game, Peppino is NOT HAVING IT with the boss-rush trope and finally goes apeshit. "Peppino is the Final Boss" is actually how I've seen _Unexpectancy Pt 3_ (the theme of this phase) be described, and it's quite fitting!
19:07 i was hoping to see the big ghost skip there , i remember people throwing an enemy to pillar jonh at that part thus skipping all the ghost section saving like 30 sec or more.
Everyone sounds like they're having a blast with this run, it was really fun to watch! Also, I'm worried about some people's pizza toppings of choice...
I still can't believe that the regular taunt is an ESSENTIAL PART OF THE RUN so that you can delay the cycles of some hazards on stuff. This better be a runner up for game of the year AT LEAST!
I’m so happy that Pizza tower finally made it! I was so worried when it didn’t come out with the other runs! Good luck to THE Peppino Spaghetti on his future runs!
I slowed this playback speed to 25% just so I could maybe figure out what the hell is going on in Peppinos max speed running animation, and it still just looks like I’m having a stroke
Honestly this is the only game I’ve ever tried to speedrun. Not seriously though because I’m a stupid dumb 15 year old, but it’s fun to casually speedrun
34:18 I am the person who screams “IT’S PIZZA TIME” after the crowd was challenged to do it better. I’m happy to have this be my impact on history
Nice voice pipes dude
Legend
Adam Spartan is a great name for that when you do that, when you should Pizza Time so viscerally like that
PIZZA TOWER RAHHHHH
you are the GOATstavo
Dude this makes me so happy to see people back in the stadium and playing again
"It's basically Wario Land 5"
*cries in Wario Land: Shake It*
*Cry responds in Wario Land: The Shake Dimension*
we do not speak of wario land shake it
Pizza Land: Shake Ass

Wario Land 4 2
18:16
I think it's both.
Peppino is dead, up until the Pizza Pope bends reality to make it so he was just wearing a white sheet the whole time.
1:10:43
As someone who took over an hour to do this fight damageless, my soul died a little at this part on your behalf.
Bosses:"Why won't you die!"
Peppino:"Pizza crust son, Stuffed Crust"
So glad to see a live studio audience again.
Honestly offended that no one responded to "Let's cook" with "Yes, chef!". Missed opportunity.
Fellow fan of The Menu?
Probably my favorite run this event. The energy from the audience, couch, and runner were all great, especially whenever the audience would shout “It’s Pizza Time” in unison.
thanks

The gdq speedrun we've all been waiting for.
Fangamer outta nowhere with the unexpected corn & mayo pizza
This was a super entertaining run, on the level of Bonesaw's Jak1 run in terms of quality ❤
Great run! Never heard of this game but it looks great!
This came out very recently
you should play it. it's insane
This is such an enjoyable run. Everything from the couch to the donos to the run itself makes this such a fun watch.
Amazingly hype run.
Missed opportunity not show the "You Are Quick As Hell" at the end of the run but very good run of Pizza Tower!! Can't wait for more runs, runners, AGDQ appearances, and the race to reach sub-hour time!
This game is actually fun to speed run.
Easily my favorite run out of the ones I tuned into. Entertaining run, great couch, just an enjoyable time
I’m so happy to see it here. I never pictured this game getting to be at this kind of event back when I discovered it at SAGE 2018, this is wild.
That was amazing.
god it's awesome to see pizza tower at gdq. huge props to the couch and crowd for this run, the sheer fun energy the whole time made this run an absolute joy to watch
1:43 Actually this would be Wario Land 6, because Wario Land 5 is Shake It!
This was one of the most absolute fun runs this marathon, matching Clone Hero for me. I loved the crowd's energy, and it was fun seeing people who very much were experiencing this crazy game for the first time.

it’s called unexpectancy because the boss fight throws a curveball with every phase
1. peppino not screaming in fear
2. pizzahead
3. peppino
best game 2023
I was eating pizza in my hotel room in Minneapolis watching this with my roommates and we were mesmerized.
It's like Wario 4 but it's also a fever dream!
Warioland 4 isn't?
Knew this game getting in was inevitable with how fantastic it's movement is. A well-deserved inclusion, and a great run too!
banger run
8:25 "Anyways, that was pepperman." *Crowd Cheers*
Once I saw Pizza Tower being played as a speed game, I could not wait till the SGDQ run, this is so cool
You are quick as hell
- pt end screen
IT'S PIZZA TIME!
Louder!
50:54 I can't believed they didn't go for the obvious Impasta joke
19:07 i was hoping to see the big ghost skip there , i remember people throwing an enemy to pillar jonh at that part thus skipping all the ghost section saving like 30 sec or more.
This is a game that had to show up at gdq.
was waiting for this!
IT'S PIZZA TIMEEEEE
IT'S PIZZA TIME
I was wating this stream to rewatch, fun run!
1:01:41 My favorite gag of the run.
Everyone sounds like they're having a blast with this run, it was really fun to watch! Also, I'm worried about some people's pizza toppings of choice...
pepperman.
FIRE!
Yoooo been waiting for this to be uploaded 😎
Glad to see a passion project make it to the big stage, here's hoping it's also game of the year!
Loved the increasingly spicy pizza takes throughout the run
legendary run, stuff like this is why GDQ is so awesome
Hell yeah~ game of the year 2023 being run by Soaring.
I still can't believe that the regular taunt is an ESSENTIAL PART OF THE RUN so that you can delay the cycles of some hazards on stuff. This better be a runner up for game of the year AT LEAST!
here me out okay? giant pretzel for the dough, topped with mozzarella cheese. hamburger, and pepperoni, with ketchup and mustard on top as the sauce 😌
These guys are so fun!
Cucumber pizza is heresy
this game is so mesmerizing to watch
"I'm going to show these guys the bullet of 87'" was funny as hell
50:50 the audience screaming "among us"
The movement in this game is SO SATISFYING to watch
I clicked into this with a vague hope that SoaringSloth was cosplaying as Peppino, and now I've got the biggest dumb grin on my face
1:02:10 That comment made me fall on the floor laughing. Awesome commentary guys.
“Standing here, I realize, you were just like me, trying to cook-a the pizza”
Ooo I kinda want to try that Mac & Cheese pizza.
So what kind of Mac and what kind of cheese? I feel as though that makes or breaks it.
Great game, great run.
This game needs to be one of the final day big releases. It's so good!
5:07 love the battle pass mention right at 4:20 in game time
35:40 "Does Illinois even exist?"
As a native Illinois resident. We unfortunately do. We wish we were from somewhere else.
piiza tower
Amazing run and lore-accurate cosplay by SoaringSloth :D
I’m so happy that Pizza tower finally made it! I was so worried when it didn’t come out with the other runs! Good luck to THE Peppino Spaghetti on his future runs!
“There’s an achievement to not get hit by a single cow for the entire level. That’s not an achievement, that’s an act of God.”
The vibes are immaculate
This is the most epic run ever seen
I slowed this playback speed to 25% just so I could maybe figure out what the hell is going on in Peppinos max speed running animation, and it still just looks like I’m having a stroke
"This is Wario Land 5."
Does he not know about Shake Dimension or is he ignoring it?
I have had salad shrimp, and sweet corn on pizza. Picked that one up in Japan.
The PT community should make an *Any%* speedrun category, where you have to get an A or higher score on every level and boss.
And now I must imagine the crossover: I'm Going To Die If I Don't Eat Pizza!
I was waiting for Pizza Tower to come to GDQ! What a fun run, I hope to see 101% run in the future!
25:22 Didn't know you could juggle John The Pillar.
Imagine hating on pineapple pizza and then acting like MASHED POTATOES are a normal topping?
There I am Gary!
Finally, this game enters the stadium it was made for.
This game looks like a fever dream from an early aughts flash animation.
My face lowkey lit up like a fucking Christmas tree when I saw this.
I got so distracted with the pizza topping discourse! My favourite topping is burrito filling with extra black beans
pizza
Heck yeah, Pizza Tower
I died twice before i realized i actually needed to shoot the gunfight boss in the "draw" scene.
Pepperoni pizza is my most favourite food in the world ❤🍕❤
57:27
Peppinos run animation bug
I love that the Runner has the Peppino shirt
32:12 omg pizza tower guy apparition
Surprised they didn't mention that Peppino is canonically a war veteran lol
35:32 be me from the crater known as Illinois
insane rung GG
1:02:09 so you are saying this is a certified CapPat Game Theory?
20:50 MORT THE CHICKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly this is the only game I’ve ever tried to speedrun. Not seriously though because I’m a stupid dumb 15 year old, but it’s fun to casually speedrun
I remember watching this man's Deltarune speedruns
It blows my mind when a new game comes out, then a week later
someone somehow broke the game then built it back up 🤯
Me likey
