Peppino yelling into the heaven's and proceeding to beat the ever living shit out of every boss is one of the most rawest things I've ever experienced in a video game.
I like how Pepperman having a 3rd healthbar during the cutscene implies that he trained for the fight only to get demolished at the hands of the enraged Peppino.
I like how the major npcs and bosses are all confused when the tower starts shaking and see peppino fucking hauling ass and decide “yea I should probably follow him”
this is probably the most viscerally satisfying, cathartic boss fight i've ever had the pleasure of playing. you can *feel* the pure rage put into each and every one of peppino's attacks. he isn't just fighting for his pizza place; he's fighting for himself and all the bullshit that he's been through
@@DaVerySillyGooseespecially after the last title card, "crumbling tower of pizza", where you see peppino at his all time high, standing triumphantly ( and ironically ), towering over everything pizza face and the pizza tower stood for. Everything that peppino has went through only brought him one step closer to the edge of his sanity, and when he finally reaches pizza face and the rest of the bosses, he finally snaps, unleashing every last bit pain, agony, and stress he had to go through on his arch nemesis, alongside his minions.
Bro was so fed up with pizza boy’s nonsense that he entered his Fricking phase 2, summoned a THUNDERSTORM AND A *LUNAR ECLIPSE* and beat the living crap out of every single boss.
2:49, I love Pizza Head's attack where he reaches for the sword in the stone, but because he's unworthy to pull it out he just ends up pulling up the entire level instead
I love how throughout the entire game, Gustavo is a literal bro, like doing a part of a level while peppino rests and let's himself be thrown at the enemy to stun them, and best of all he pats peppino on the back for a job well done.
I like to imagine that during the escape Peppino isn't rescuing any of the characters or bosses, they just know that if they want to escape the tower before it collapses that its best to just follow him since he will make an exit path for them to follow
What we've learned from the game: 1. Never blow up an Italian restaurant. 2. *NEVER* angry an Italian. 3. If you see an anxious italian rushing at you, you're dead. Edit: Wtf that was just a cringy comment i made while i was sleepy Edit: ok this got too many likes but still ty
This ending has to be the most satisfying thing in the game. It’s clear that this poor pizza joint owner has been pushed to his limits. He’s over it, he’s done, and he sure as hell is on the brink of having a mental breakdown. The thing that pushes him over the edge is Pizza forcing him to go through the bosses again. It’s no longer a scream of fear, but of pure unfiltered rage and stress. He’s over this bullshit and by damn is he not going to give any of these idiots a chance to fight anymore
I like it when a final boss fight makes you overpowered but still doesn’t just hand the fight to you. Like here it gives you a 4x more powerful attack, but you still have the same health, and it forces you through the whole boss rush with that health. You still have to put in effort.
Ok so this is the best use of the Boss Rematch trope right? It's not tedious, it's satisfying, and you still get to fight all of the phases from the previous fights. The fact that Peppino is as tired as the player is at the idea of a boss gauntlet just makes this fight perfect

Hell, Peppino is truly beyond of an Avengers level threat I mean, the dude yelled so loud and intense that he caused the weather to rain and suplexed Pizza Clown so hard he ended up destroying the Pizza Tower. I don't know how big is the Tower, but taking in mind it contains a whole castle, a dungeon, a desert, a farm, a pirate ship, a forest, a city, a beach, a battlefield, the SPACE and goddamn paralel universe (If you count the extra zones as tiny universes), we can believe that the place is really huge, and Peppino destroyed and escape through it all before the tower collapse entirely.
@@tumbletunes3101 Yeah and even if we nerf Peppino and say that all the places of the tower were portals, he still was strong enough to beat Pizza Face strong enough to start flying and the Pizza Face supplex caused the rain and the clouds to Split and the tower to fell over it.
Actually according to official sources the levels we enter are pocket dimensions held by the John pillars. In the crumbling tower of pizza we get to see more parts of the real tower. It's just control rooms filled with TVs and cameras. The actual tower is just a studio.
At 7:12 I didn’t notice but once Peppino is beating Pizzahead into the sky, the sprites that are shown of him aren’t random and they cycle in a circular counter clock wise motion. It’s a cool detail which I didn’t realize till now and is visually pleasing.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure when Peppino snapped he went on his “Second Phase” As he also regenerates his health bar just like every other boss in the game when they enter their second phase.
This is one of my favorite video game villain twists I've seen in a while! Pizzaface feels like such a standard "big bad" sort of villain, that the fact that he was the robot façade of a super chaotic and goofy character was such a strange change of pace that it's sort of refreshing. It's also nice that they didn't go too over the top with the reveal; it's just a fun character reveal that feels completely in line with what little story there is in this game. And the music of phase 2 is a nice little cherry on top.
I was NOT expecting the last phase of this boss to be so climactic and epic, but I'm not complaining AT ALL, holy shit. This exceeded my expectations by thousands, especially the music.
When he idles it changed from a stressed, worried hunched over posture to a menacing, stressed, angry face. He can’t even stay still because he keeps changing positions because of how angry he is!
The pizza guy is genuinely creepy I love Peppinos reaction to having to fight all the bosses again and the moment I saw the final beam I knew Yep this is the part where we dash through the entire building to get out before it collapses overall a great ending to a great game
It's been a long time since a video game had me experience something close to this. Pizza Tower blew me away, and went above and beyond my expectations. Fucking masterpiece
im amazed how much range this game has. its mostly over the top and cartoony but somehow managers to feel super epic and serious the few times it needs to
As someone who’s been watching indie games from the sidelines I LOVE this game design wise. Peppino and the rest of the bosses all ooze personality. They don't feel like soulless characters meant to sell merch and have big UA-camrs screaming about it like Poppy Playtime, Bendy, and Garden of Banban. In other words, it feels like actual passion went into these characters which Is a breath of fresh air.
@@dadawgdoin7467 Yeah, but despite being the spiritual successor of Wario Land it feels like its own thing rather than be a cash-in. It takes those bases and goes beyond with them. It embraces the insanity and weirdness and turns it up to 11.
This is one of the best final battles in any indie game I’ve seen. The setting at the top of the tower with the storm, the fantastically UNHINGED music, peppino’s rage, pizzahead’s insanity, the boss rush, and the end where peppino sends him head first into the tower leading to that escape. The atmosphere is just so unbelievably perfect
This game being early 90s cartoon styled was very beneficial for the final boss. Pizza Face's true form being nothing but a cute little pizza mascot who is able to make the whole battlefield a chaotic mess.
You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you’re capable of great violence, if you’re not capable of violence you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless. And Peppino is bringing some Violence.
The game itself looks so simple, yet you can not only clearly SEE, but FEEL Peppino's rage once each boss appears, and the pleasure of erradicating them for good, and oooh how that counter-clockwise demolition of pizzaface is done! Like if Peppino is reversing everything that this guy had done
Yeah once you do that final hit on pizzahead you just watch Peppino bring him high into the sky and pile drives him so hard he gets his head stuck in the tower
Man unironically this is one of those final bosses which make me feel climactic and epic alongside Yuyuko Saigyouji, Senator Armstrong, and The Hollow Knight.
I'm so in love with Peppino absolutely fucking losing it. After this entire game, after so much intensity and anxiety, after each worried expression and grief from Peppino at having to do more, both him and us get the catharsis of watching him beat the hell out of each boss without holding back. Peppino deserves that moment more than most protagonists and I mean it.
@@mr.monkey354 he meant mid as an actually middle tier game, not good or bad. plus my guy is literally praising it, and your saying his opinion is invalid? lol
Something I’ve noticed that not many people seem to have pointed out is Peppino’s attacking sprites. During normal boss battles, Peppino has certain sprites used to damage bosses. But when Pizzahead throws all the bosses at Peppino, you can see that the attack sprites have changed to killing blow sprites that only play when you actually kill an enemy, meaning Peppino was absolutely intending to kill all of them, not just teach them a lesson.
I really like how this finale seems to mirror Majora in a way: First phase is just a floating mask, second phase is the goofy one and in the third phase we get to see PEPPINO'S WRATH, immaculately reflected in the soundtrack. Watching Peppino literally take matters into his own hands and beat the living crap out of his anxiety was also a satisfying and strangely motivational experience. I gotta say I had my reservations about this game at first, but now I think it's truly a work of art.
You could honestly feel peppino's rage when all the bosses came back up. And then the music just gives you this feeling of "You've beat these guys before! Show em what your made of!!" Honestly a really good game even though I don't have enough money to buy it.
At 3:30, you can obviously tell Peppino is so done with all this bull shit with a raging shriek. His shriek was so powerful, he created a god damn thunderstorm and controls the lightning. Not to mention that his scream also made the moon into an eclipse. He then beats the actual hell out of all the bosses till the point where their balls get obliterated. This game is so great it should be on more platforms other than steam.
i like to think pizza tower's story is basically just a goofy metaphor for having your artistic vision be something thats your own, and then having it taken over by a looming power that perverts your vision into something squeaky clean and soulless. pizzahead is this squeaky clean mascot which kinda works as an antithesis to the thing that both sides of peppino's character, "peppino the small chef working a small business", and "peppino the parody of wario", are all against. the whole game, and peppino's character, is something goofy and edgy that just captures this genuine feeling of rage and stress. i feel like its supported by the rival characters. you have fake peppino (who represents peppino's restaraunt would be if controlled by pizza face, literally a soulless amalgamation parading as something that used to be good), and the noise (still a soulless shill but in his own weird way where hes playing a character for TV, he's still goofy+edgy but hes not the same as his off-camera self). does it have that much meaning? maybe not, but it does make something true to its inspirations and does capture some actual feelings. feelings towards what nintendo's handheld 2D platformers became and to the stressful life of a chef. this game goes pretty hard
By the way, why does fake peppino in his second phase everything turns... WORSE yea i know every Boss does that but, why does legs and arms go out of walls and trash? And his entire last transformation... WTF i don't know of what's made fake peppino and all his clones, for our own mental safety, don't ask
I LOVE how almost every reference of themes sync up with bosses, Lap 2 starts around Vigilante's turn Cold Spaghetti starts around Noise's turn Oregano desert starts around Fake's turn R-R-F starts immediately at Pizzahead's turn (no matter what)
First Phase looks like Mario World Bowser or at least it looks like similar where Pizza Face summons enemies so you throw them back at him to stun him and damage him. Second Phase is just as its theme suggests goofy one where Pizza Face True Form appears and does all kinds of wacky stuff. Then Third Phase is different yes its boss rush but in different way instead of fighting either bit stronger or weaker/ressurected previous bosses with same or less HP. Instead Peppino gets Enraged that he gets so powerful that he can take multiple hitpoints in one cycle, madness. And Pizza Face is quite the troll where its more of comic relief as on its own is quite not impressive in battle its just taunting you
This is quite possibly THE best boss I’ve ever faced in a platformer, maybe even just the best boss I’ve ever fought. I love the first phase for giving you a simple but fun way to beat the crap out of the villain that has been with us ever since 2020. I love the second phase for being difficult in the funnest way possible, and the creativity with the attacks Pizzaface throws at you. I love the rematches for how much of a power-trip it was and the pure dopamine kicking ALL of the asses that I personally struggled with (Except fake peppino, he was pretty easy). And I LOVE the escape at the end, showing all of the foes and mechanics into one big PIZZA TIME!!! 17/10 Best fucking game ever
Highlights: 0:51 phase 1 begins 2:11 phase 2 begins 3:31 Pepperman 4:15 the Vigilante 4:46 the Noise 5:20 clone peppino 5:54 phase 3 begins 7:13 peppino fucking murdering pizzahead 7:41 boss fight’s over 8:03 the crumbling tower of pizza 13:46 and they all lived happily ever after

It's been a long time since a video game had me experience something close to this. Pizza Tower blew me away, and went above and beyond my expectations. Fucking masterpiece
Had not to many expectations coming in, having not really followed the game all that much. So, like, holy shit. It’s so fucking good lmao
8:10
Peppino: So guys, we need to get outta here, I just destroyed the last support beam this tower had.
Gustavo and Mr Stick: You WHAT!?
I love how the music is timed in a way that the ‘The Death I Deservioli’ motif comes in around the time you reach Vigilante.
im amazed how much range this game has. its mostly over the top and cartoony but somehow managers to feel super epic and serious the few times it needs to
As someone who’s been watching indie games from the sidelines I LOVE this game design wise.
Peppino and the rest of the bosses all ooze personality. They don't feel like soulless characters meant to sell merch and have big UA-camrs screaming about it like Poppy Playtime, Bendy, and Garden of Banban. In other words, it feels like actual passion went into these characters which Is a breath of fresh air.
Wouldn't mind a plushie of the rat tho

Well, this Game is inspired by Wario games and this was in development for a few years
@@dadawgdoin7467 Yeah, but despite being the spiritual successor of Wario Land it feels like its own thing rather than be a cash-in. It takes those bases and goes beyond with them. It embraces the insanity and weirdness and turns it up to 11.
This is one of the best final battles in any indie game I’ve seen. The setting at the top of the tower with the storm, the fantastically UNHINGED music, peppino’s rage, pizzahead’s insanity, the boss rush, and the end where peppino sends him head first into the tower leading to that escape. The atmosphere is just so unbelievably perfect
This game being early 90s cartoon styled was very beneficial for the final boss. Pizza Face's true form being nothing but a cute little pizza mascot who is able to make the whole battlefield a chaotic mess.
I love how this game still doesn't take itself seriously, even at the final boss
I mean phases 1 and 3 are pretty serious
Bosses: wait, this isn't my boss theme
Peppino: no, it's MINE
You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you’re capable of great violence, if you’re not capable of violence you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless. And Peppino is bringing some Violence.

The animations in this game are just mind-blowingly good. Every frame is hilarious.
3:30
This is the moment when pizza face realized what he just unleashed upon this world
I suppose it’s fitting for the final boss to have straight up toon force powers because it’s so powerful.
The game itself looks so simple, yet you can not only clearly SEE, but FEEL Peppino's rage once each boss appears, and the pleasure of erradicating them for good, and oooh how that counter-clockwise demolition of pizzaface is done! Like if Peppino is reversing everything that this guy had done
Yeah once you do that final hit on pizzahead you just watch Peppino bring him high into the sky and pile drives him so hard he gets his head stuck in the tower
Peppino, Ashura, Samus Aran... When the enemy's hubris put them to their limit, the result is always the same.
Man, I didn't even realize how much this did feel like the Dread Final sequence. Heroes screaming their rage out really is such a mood.

that is what i like to call "the italian rage"
I like to imagine it as Peppino channeling his inner Orphan of Kos
Pizza and pineaple
3:28 you can tell by his scream that Peppino has had enough and is gonna take matters into his own hands.
My god.
Peppino has master the ultimate power.
Gamer Rage
I'm so in love with Peppino absolutely fucking losing it. After this entire game, after so much intensity and anxiety, after each worried expression and grief from Peppino at having to do more, both him and us get the catharsis of watching him beat the hell out of each boss without holding back. Peppino deserves that moment more than most protagonists and I mean it.
i see you everywhere how... I just finished the game, damn masterpiece lol. Did not expect Pizzaface to be the same as the Pizza Guy I always saw.
Holy shit, i though the full game was going to be mid but jesus this is just so fun! And the soundtrack is unexpectedly really good.
never doubt the scary italian man game
H o w.
I read a comment that put it best.
“Don’t question if Pizza Tower is worth your time, but question if your worth Pizza Towers time.”
using mid as a synonym for bad automatically makes your opinions invalid
@@mr.monkey354 he meant mid as an actually middle tier game, not good or bad.
plus my guy is literally praising it, and your saying his opinion is invalid? lol
6:00 that laugh was personal
never let the haters tell u there's no time for a primo burg
Something I’ve noticed that not many people seem to have pointed out is Peppino’s attacking sprites. During normal boss battles, Peppino has certain sprites used to damage bosses. But when Pizzahead throws all the bosses at Peppino, you can see that the attack sprites have changed to killing blow sprites that only play when you actually kill an enemy, meaning Peppino was absolutely intending to kill all of them, not just teach them a lesson.
bro had ENOUGH
Wow...Peppino went full anime with that last part of the boss fight, didn't he?

I really like how this finale seems to mirror Majora in a way: First phase is just a floating mask, second phase is the goofy one and in the third phase we get to see PEPPINO'S WRATH, immaculately reflected in the soundtrack. Watching Peppino literally take matters into his own hands and beat the living crap out of his anxiety was also a satisfying and strangely motivational experience. I gotta say I had my reservations about this game at first, but now I think it's truly a work of art.
I loved the part where Peppino said "It's Pizza Time!" and beat the shit out of everyone
Where did he say that?

i like the detailt on phase 2 that pizzahead throw you things that you have seen before like the tv, the uzi from vigilante, brick and fork knights
@@smaIIdick he actually tried to pull the sword, but because he still unworthy he ended up pulling the entire level.
You could honestly feel peppino's rage when all the bosses came back up. And then the music just gives you this feeling of "You've beat these guys before! Show em what your made of!!" Honestly a really good game even though I don't have enough money to buy it.
The Number One Rule We All Learned While Playing This Game:
*DO NOT MESS WITH AN ITALIAN AND HIS RESTAURANT*
“You’ve mama’d your last Mia”
@@spindash64 "shit"
At 3:30, you can obviously tell Peppino is so done with all this bull shit with a raging shriek. His shriek was so powerful, he created a god damn thunderstorm and controls the lightning. Not to mention that his scream also made the moon into an eclipse. He then beats the actual hell out of all the bosses till the point where their balls get obliterated. This game is so great it should be on more platforms other than steam.
Not to mention that *Pizza Head* of all characters has the "oh shit." face. He realized he fucked up
2:10 peppino hit pizza face so hard that I lost my connection to internet for a couple of seconds
3:00 what did he pull out of the ground💀
Cheesy pizzamn
His nudes
i like to think pizza tower's story is basically just a goofy metaphor for having your artistic vision be something thats your own, and then having it taken over by a looming power that perverts your vision into something squeaky clean and soulless. pizzahead is this squeaky clean mascot which kinda works as an antithesis to the thing that both sides of peppino's character, "peppino the small chef working a small business", and "peppino the parody of wario", are all against. the whole game, and peppino's character, is something goofy and edgy that just captures this genuine feeling of rage and stress.
i feel like its supported by the rival characters. you have fake peppino (who represents peppino's restaraunt would be if controlled by pizza face, literally a soulless amalgamation parading as something that used to be good), and the noise (still a soulless shill but in his own weird way where hes playing a character for TV, he's still goofy+edgy but hes not the same as his off-camera self).
does it have that much meaning? maybe not, but it does make something true to its inspirations and does capture some actual feelings.
feelings towards what nintendo's handheld 2D platformers became and to the stressful life of a chef.
this game goes pretty hard
By the way, why does fake peppino in his second phase everything turns... WORSE yea i know every Boss does that but, why does legs and arms go out of walls and trash? And his entire last transformation... WTF
i don't know of what's made fake peppino and all his clones, for our own mental safety, don't ask
Well there is some lore regarding the pillars at the end of the levels, gerome, and pizza head but that would be spoiling the other ending
13:41 It's so epic developers made reference to the sage tutorial
Yes
Noise is happy that Noisette didnt escape
Who would've guessed a game about a man wanting to save his pizza place could have this hype final boss
Mess with Peppino
And you'll have a gravestone pizza served.
this has no reason to be this climactic and epic at the same time yet it is
I LOVE how almost every reference of themes sync up with bosses,
Lap 2 starts around Vigilante's turn
Cold Spaghetti starts around Noise's turn
Oregano desert starts around Fake's turn
R-R-F starts immediately at Pizzahead's turn (no matter what)
It's bc vigis old theme was lap2
Cold spaghetti had a old unused knight design for noise
Fake is oregano
In all of the boss fights I thought were epic, the dev team of pizza tower actually brought a boss fight worth the title of it.
First Phase looks like Mario World Bowser or at least it looks like similar where Pizza Face summons enemies so you throw them back at him to stun him and damage him.
Second Phase is just as its theme suggests goofy one where Pizza Face True Form appears and does all kinds of wacky stuff.
Then Third Phase is different yes its boss rush but in different way instead of fighting either bit stronger or weaker/ressurected previous bosses with same or less HP. Instead Peppino gets Enraged that he gets so powerful that he can take multiple hitpoints in one cycle, madness. And Pizza Face is quite the troll where its more of comic relief as on its own is quite not impressive in battle its just taunting you
the first phase feels a lot more like wario land 4's final boss, the game which this game was based off.
When Peppino screams he it is as if he is saying "You have no idea how much pain you put me through but don't worry your about to".
Is nobody gonna talk about how in the third phase, Peppino just harnesses his inner Moe and straight up Funk Dances for Self Defense?
9:23 did Fake Peppino just say Brother!?

13:40 i love how peppino bring all of his freinds and enemies from different stages and helping him to get out from the pizza tower
11:05 I NEED IT
no I don’t

No I don’t!
This is quite possibly THE best boss I’ve ever faced in a platformer, maybe even just the best boss I’ve ever fought. I love the first phase for giving you a simple but fun way to beat the crap out of the villain that has been with us ever since 2020. I love the second phase for being difficult in the funnest way possible, and the creativity with the attacks Pizzaface throws at you. I love the rematches for how much of a power-trip it was and the pure dopamine kicking ALL of the asses that I personally struggled with (Except fake peppino, he was pretty easy). And I LOVE the escape at the end, showing all of the foes and mechanics into one big PIZZA TIME!!!
