Peppino also has a standalone mod that released almost 2 years before The Pizza Tower Pack.

Instead of driving a kart, he rides his signature scooter. It's impressive that, with how much variety there is to discover, it really never stumbles, and it speaks to the versatility of Peppino's moveset that he fits so seamlessly into so many different scenarios. Peppino appears in SRB2Kart alongside The Noise, Gustavo, and a few other characters in a mod called The Pizza Tower Pack. The toppings are usually hard to miss, but the secret areas and treasures will test your exploration skills-though none feel unfair to find.Įach stage has its own wild gimmicks, from a chicken who sits in Peppino's hat granting him extra maneuverability with its flaps, to a claw that grabs him and swings him around by his overalls. Each one nets you cash, which in turn is used to unlock the boss of each of the game's five hub areas. Throughout these levels, you need to rescue the captured, sentient pizza toppings (yes, sickos, pineapple is one of them). Pizza Tower boasts 19 levels of platforming goodness, each of which has its own set of secret areas and treasures. He suffers for his delicious art, but it never slows him down. This also plays into the game's creatively grim power-ups, which submit him to all sorts of punishment-including being set on fire, turned into a cheese monster, or flattened into a sentient pizza box. Outside of boss fights, Peppino is invincible, with hits instead only taking away from your overall score-an idea that's complemented by a Devil May Cry-esque combo system. Throughout these levels, you need to rescue captured, sentient pizza toppings.
