I wish they didn't nerf the original escape sequence so much since release, it's not as impactful when you can easily get away from Fake Peppino at not even running speed
@@demorunnertimmedrt4432u h m why are you watching pizza tower content while playing pizza tower (yes ik this is hollow knight but fake peppino is in it so idk lol)
@@cataclysmusultimus basically, you dangerously clash your nail with an enemy's nail attack to avoid damage T's a lot harder to do than it sounds and what the other comment says, it mostly happens by accident
its funny watching the sheer contrast between these art styles, one is cinematic and epic with energy beams and stuff, while the other is... pizza tower
I don't like the fact that this boss's original version's chase sequence was so easy, making it hard would have impacted the boss so much, it especially would have added more tension while P ranking it. Oh well :/
I feel like out of all the bosses, while all of them would work well in Hollow Knight, the Vigilante would probably be the most interesting, since you wouldn’t have a gun to fight him with, but would still be able to damage him without help.
@@TheNorfAndOnly I haven't explored much of Hollow Knight despite owning the game, but I imagine there being weaponry that could help Hollow Knight if he ever comes across the Vigilante from Pizza Tower.
@@maxthompson7107 There aren’t any equippable weapons. The closest you get is augmenting your Vengeful Spirit with the Flukenest charm. You’re stuck with your nail and your spells for damaging the boss, leaving you mostly at just melee range.
This is the most ambitious mod I've seen for this game yet, it stays true to the original Fake Peppino boss fight, while also respecting the mechanics of Hollow Knight. Really great job on this!
The craziest part is that they weren’t. Hollow Knight is Unity and Pizza Tower is GameMaker, meaning the whole fight and everything associated with it (VFX, attack patterns, sound/music/animation triggers, code and functions, etc.) had to have been remade from scratch. The only exception is assets, which can be imported, but even then, there has to be unique code in order for those assets to appear in the same way and at the same time as they do in Pizza Tower. This guy is an absolute legend for pulling this off as accurately as he did.
As a Pizza Pranker I can confirm that the difficulty increase would turn this game from goofy to enraging. But making fake Peppe's chase scene harder is a welcoming change I wish was present in the real game
@@scrittle imo I feel like the fight was kind of underwhelming in terms of difficulty, but some people think the fight is hard and some think it's easy so idk.
@@derricksquared It's pretty hard until you notice it's linear. Phase 2 is actually a little challenging because there's RNG in all the madness, this mod bumps up the randomness from 1 to 11
Extremely minor nitpick: Fake peppino is actually the only boss that won't recover from a stagger on their own, yet he does here. Aside from that, this is actually really good. Nice work!
I've been watching this (Pizza Tower) game months ago but i never expecting this mod in Hollow Knight, but it fits well. Edit : 02:28 love that background detail changed for phase 2, just like original game.
This is actually really good great job ( also I can't help but notice that you made the escape sequence actually kind of nerve wracking and scary compared to pizza tower where peppino can just Speedrun the entire thing and leave fake peppino ten yards away from him, yet again though I love both games)
This mode is amazing, some little things like the sounds and some other stuff like idk make the boss battle more like the pizza tower iteration and the mod would just be perfect
They actually managed to make the escape sequence difficulty balanced
I wish they didn't nerf the original escape sequence so much since release, it's not as impactful when you can easily get away from Fake Peppino at not even running speed
@@morphious86. they actually fixed it a while ago, now you genuinely have to book it out of there instead of him rubberbanding that hard.
@@morphious86. it was actually easier to walk from feppucino than to run in the older patch because of the rubberbanding
Dont spoil it for me! I will be at him tonight.

why are you watching pizza tower content while playing pizza tower
(yes ik this is hollow knight but fake peppino is in it so idk lol)
As a both pizza tower and hollow knight fan, this is a genius way to transfer the mechanics of feppino from pizza tower to Hollow Knight.
I thought this was gonna be a half-baked reskin mod for Pizza Tower, but no this actually had a lot of effort put into it, this is sick as hell!
It's Mod for hollow knight
@@aPandesalboi I can tell. My little brother has Hollow Knight on his laptop.
Congrats on being noticed by the devs.
which devs
@@DeliriousPersona prolly hollow knight or pizza tower devs
@@moosesues8887 no shit sherlock
@@moosesues8887 Pizza Tower. They tweeted out this video.
@@DeliriousPersona obviously Pizza Tower dev. Hollow Knight devs are too busy working on Silksong to notice this. **Sniffs copium*
Just realized how absolutely Terrifying a chase sequence would be in hallow knight, bro that shit looked horrific
You would just use crystal dash
@@hollowknightenjoyer nah, it wouldnt work that good. Because you always have to go up and down, and it charges too slow
@@PlaneTheUhh the charge takes only around 2 second iirc, and its like 4 time faster than walking speed.
Use the dashmaster.
@@hollowknightenjoyer perhaps, but you'd have to stop every time you reached a wall, losing time.
I was gonna say to not sugarcoat it
Til I realised that Hollow Knight's parry mechanic is more difficult to do than Pizza Tower's
You can barely even call it a MECHANIC, because you rarely use it.
@@mattgroening8872 It usually happens accidentally
Wait you can parry in hollow knight?
@@cataclysmusultimus basically, you dangerously clash your nail with an enemy's nail attack to avoid damage
T's a lot harder to do than it sounds and what the other comment says, it mostly happens by accident
aren't attacks that appear as white lines on the screen the only ones you can parry in hollow knight
its funny watching the sheer contrast between these art styles, one is cinematic and epic with energy beams and stuff, while the other is... pizza tower
Great work but I think you need to change Peppino's scream to fake peppino
Yeah, literally just the wrong scream
@@volnartheunforgiving3952 the definition of fake is copy someone
Or something
@@Give_riggy_a_raise_for_god fake peppino has his own scream in game
@@Give_riggy_a_raise_for_godThe guy who hasn't played the game:
That escape sequence must be a lot harder than the original without the ability to Mach Run!
Not a lot of places to pick up the pace in original either
And you could barely see the environment down there
I don't like the fact that this boss's original version's chase sequence was so easy, making it hard would have impacted the boss so much, it especially would have added more tension while P ranking it. Oh well :/
@@sirkduck6612 it used to be a lot harder with a lot of parts where you needed to crawl but it got nerfed
@@bigimp3018 That would've been fun to play through, still don't get why they nerfed it tho.
Love how the chase sequence does two damage to you if Fake Peppino catches you just like in the real game
I did not think the Fake Peppino fight would fit so well in Hollow Knight.
I feel like out of all the bosses, while all of them would work well in Hollow Knight, the Vigilante would probably be the most interesting, since you wouldn’t have a gun to fight him with, but would still be able to damage him without help.

@@TheNorfAndOnlyIn this case, Hollow Knight's really in a tight spot.
I love the attention to detail of losing two masks when hit in the Fake Peppino chase like in the original.
Imagine how crazy it would be if you could play as peppino in Hollow Night.
Sequence break hell, aside from crystal dash areas as that might just be impossible
the game would be finally good

im now convinced that both games were made with the same engine because of this

The Godhome transition right after the Pizza Tower boss jingle was top notch
Damn, as far as I can tell it's as if you brought the actual code and assets and everything into Hollow Knight. Well done.
Such a cool idea! Now I really want to see what it looks like with the other bosses!
The Vigilante will be the hardest because you can't cheese him anymore
@@scrittle and your probably right
@@scrittle I see what you did there with the *cheese*
i absolutely love crossover boss fights, using mechanics from both franchises
Now we just need to see peppino fight Nosk
I think I got the wrong copy of pizza tower
Now I want this in actual Hollow Knight so I have a reason to play it
Imagine if silksong had an equivalent to nosk that took place in a setting as colorful and jovial (compared to hollow knight) as this
Extremely minor nitpick: Fake peppino is actually the only boss that won't recover from a stagger on their own, yet he does here. Aside from that, this is actually really good. Nice work!
Probably a balance thing given the ability to heal endlessly with dreamnail
My man hast too much creativity lol, nice work
This makes me wanna see mods for the rest of the pizza tower bosses
Bro how in the FUCK--
Prolly the coolest thing I've seen in a while, and I don't even play hollow knight!
I've been watching this (Pizza Tower) game months ago but i never expecting this mod in Hollow Knight, but it fits well.
Edit :
02:28 love that background detail changed for phase 2, just like original game.
I WAS WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS! AMAZING JOB!
Oh gosh I don't know what is worse, randomized Fake Peppino Clone attacks, or the chase sequence without Mach Run 💀💀💀
Both
"Bugs in the Kitchen?! Special guest: The Knight"
this is incredibly well made! And works surprisingly well in hollow knight
HOLY CRAP?! THIS IS GOOD
This is my aesthetic. Genuinely. This reminds me so much of I Wanna Be the Guy fan games, I’m not kidding.
I’ve never played Hollow Knight, but I came here to say that you somehow recreated this boss fight down to the SMALLEST of details, awesome job dude
Never have I ever been so interested in a game crossover
now all we have to do is mod Nosk into Pizza Tower
Uh oh Fake Peppino escaped the source code and is invading other games.
0:27 you tought you could use the same tactic as in pizza tower didn't you?
This nearly looks 1-1 to the game, amazing shit
This is actually really good great job ( also I can't help but notice that you made the escape sequence actually kind of nerve wracking and scary compared to pizza tower where peppino can just Speedrun the entire thing and leave fake peppino ten yards away from him, yet again though I love both games)
This mode is amazing, some little things like the sounds and some other stuff like idk make the boss battle more like the pizza tower iteration and the mod would just be perfect
Fake Peppino's chase sequence fits right in with the themes of Hollow Knight.
Yo, this so high effort, it's incredible, bravo!
Team cherry patiently waiting to see full entire games on hollow knight
This is honestly peak performance
This made me think of what if nosk was a boss fight in pizza tower
But anyways, aside from that! This is really well made!!!
Words cannot describe how well it fits good job!
This is so well done
2:17 interesting timming with the music lol
I fucking love this, imma need this for REAL!
Two of my most favorite games and boss?! Yes, please!
yeah, this bossfight really firstly reminded me hollow knight and dead cells
Typa Elden Ring shit is this!? (Also looks sick, even included the double damage in the chase scene, nice touch)
I never played Hollow Knight... but I like this mod.
And like everyone else's thought, change the scream into the actual sound Fake Peppino uses.
Whoa this is perfect
Man this is so well made, and I never even played hollow knight
I was waiting for something like this
i can't tell if this is a mod of pizza tower or a mod of hollow knight and i love that
everytime the knight heals, fake peppino tries showing off his cool ability to change the color of his clothes at sonic speeds! so nice of them!
Amorphous God of Falsehoods
this is way better than i expected it to be
im suprised they actually managed to make it decent from the actual boss
All the other bosses: yes you can heal ill give you time
Fake peppino: *no*
"I think i have the wrong Shadow Clone?"
- Vessel
Awesome! My only complaint is that the battle starts with real peppino scream and not fake peppino scream.
This is the single best mod I have ever seen.
I love how in phase 2 he just begins spamming his attacks and his clones
This Need To Blow Up.
he got teleported to the pizza tower itself, just the wrong place
Holy shit how did the mod creator do this
the randomised supertaunt projectile ejection looks surprisingly more difficult to dodge than in the actual game holy shit !
WHY DOES THIS WORK AS WELL AS IT DOES?!!
when the health inspectors going to be there in five minutes and you see a roach
I thought "Hey this boss is way too easy!" in Phase 1.
Then Phase 2 came and I understood true pain.
able to remove the "PEPPINO, GET OVER HERE *NOW!"*
omg this looks exactly like it does in pizza tower
how is it this good
Another mod to rank :)
And this is masterpiece
the accuracy of this is impeccable!
*The greatest crossover doesn't exist
the best crossover does not exist-
I cant believe it, someone actually did it!
nosk 2: pizza boogaloo
S-rank! Very Hollow-y perfect! (Idk anything about bollow knight)
pizza knight in the hollow tower
Imagine, Fake peppino versus the nosk.
Who would win
That's what happens when Nosk tries to mimic an Italian.
Ngl this is really good👍
this looks like it was exported directly from pizza tower to hollow knight, this is cool as hell!
The hollow tower would be a fangame i would adore
Small Italian Invades bug nest, what happens next will shock you
Hollow knight is now in pizza tower
I guess that means Fake Peppino is actually a God if he was called upon by the Godseeker.
One is made of the the Endless Void, the other is made of some Pizza Cheese
best collab ngl
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVE THISSSSSS 🤩🤩🤩
This is so sick what?
