I Tried Speedrunning Pizza Tower

Pizza Tower is an insanely fast-paced and difficult game that is pretty much made for speedrunning. This was one of my hardest speedruns yet

Description of Pizza Tower (from Steam):
Pizza Tower is a fast paced 2D platformer inspired by the Wario Land series, with an emphasis on movement, exploration and score attack. Featuring highly stylized pixel art inspired by the cartoons from the '90s, and a highly energetic soundtrack.
Peppino Spaghetti, a surprisingly agile and powerful fat balding italian, is on a mission to destroy the titular Pizza Tower in order to save his restaurant from annihilation. Follow him through his rampage across the many wacky floors of the tower, collecting toppings and beating up monsters!
PLAY as Peppino Spaghetti, the supersonic italian middle-aged man! And sometimes Gustavo.
EXPLORE up to 5 floors leading to many levels, discover all of their secrets!
FIGHT some monsters and other weirdos!
DESTROY everything in your path, including those stupid rats.
BECOME the Pizza Tower!
Weird crazy characters and animations!
An insanely energetic soundtrack!
An unusual platformer formula!
Play like you want! Go for the highest score or explore at your own pace!
My channel generally focuses on a more casual side of speedruns. With these videos I want to show off cool speedruns, explain how they work, and entertain. Hopefully you enjoy the content and maybe even take up speedrunning yourself, because it is truly a lot of fun!

Here are some easy time saves: 5:45 You can actually hug the wall and do a bodyslam, wich will immediately damage pepperman istead of having to wait for the taunt to end then fall and hit pepperman. For some reason, even if he hits you before hitting the wall, you wont get hit if you're bodyslamming while hugging the wall. 8:54 Instead of shoulder bashing (the thing that cancels a super jump midair) to the right, you can wait a tiny bit longer and shoulder bash left and climb the wall. 9:19 Instead of waiting to leave the vertical tunnel, soulder bashing, waiting for the cheese blocks to dissapear and then go for the pizza box, you can SB (i will be calling shoulder bash SB from now on) left in the vertical tunnel and wall-climb up to go below the cheese and avoid having to wait for it dissapear. 38:37 If you slide into noise right as the fight starts, you can get a free hit on him.

PIZZA TOWER SPEEDRUN THIS IS PEAK

[@Nutrision]

*47:00** thats so warming to hear 🥺*

[@dennistennis2]

47:00 was the most important part of the run in my humble opinion

[@SolarSocks]

amateur pizza tower speedrunner here; this was honestly a pretty entertaining watch (although i do speedrun 100% rather than any%). you did a great job explaining your strats and moves to an audience that might not fully understand the full moveset of the game if i could recommend a few tips; first, if you grab in the air when you're nearing the ground (ie, jump then grab), it's a nice way of quickly building speed if you're unable to slide. using that also leads into the fact that there is a much quicker and snappier method of turning around as peppino; using the grab move to stop yourself in the air mid-dash, you can simply press the grab again in the air to grab the opposite direction and build speed much quicker. useful for dead ends with pillar john in them such as the areas he's in in john gutter and bloodsauce. although there are much better ways to instantly turn, the one i detailed is definitely the most simple. finally, remember to super taunt more, it wipes out every enemy on screen!! it's most important use is to save combos in 100% runs, but even just wiping out some enemies (like that one room you were having trouble with in peppibot factory's escape) makes things a whole lot easier sometimes well done for giving the game a go, i think it's fun as hell to speedrun even if you don't know absolutely everything you're doing. would definitely recommend trying noise whenever you feel comfortable!

Fun fact about Noise's fight! You can actually smack him before he performs his first attack if you're fast enough. HOWEVER, if you take advantage of this, the first attack he skips will ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS, be the first skateboard attack, 100% of the time. I think it's been coded for him to always skip that exact move...

[@mrhalfsaid1389]

I will not be taking any disrespect to my main man Jerome, he isn't just some pink guy, he's working with Peppino to save Pillar John, his brother, from his enslavement as the pillar of the gates. Justice for Jerome

[@TimerdonDWI]

46:57 Idk why you said that specifically, but often I actually do forget that, but that made my rough day a little better. Thanks man

[@ry6554]

Ok, so there's advanced movement tech in this game: Insta-turning. While Mach Running, if you jump, grab, and continue to hold forward, you start something called a Fast Walk. You'll be at a high speed without needing to be in a Mach Run state. If you press the Mach key while fast walking, your horizontal speed will convert to a Mach Run stage from 1 to 4. HOWEVER, if you move in the opposite direction and hit the Mach key on the same frame, you will Insta-turn. It's exactly what it sounds like. You'll keep all of your speed and retain your Mach 4 state if you had one before as well. Now, pressing two keys on the same frame is nothing short of impossible, so this is where Taunt Buffering comes in. During a taunt, you will be able to hit any movement key without performing its action. The keys you have held down when the taunt ends will move Peppino accordingly. In a fast-walk state, you can Taunt Buffer to Insta-turn with a hefty margin of error. HOWEVER, there is an even faster form of buffering: Pause Buffering. It has the potential to be much faster than Taunt Buffering, but only if you pull it off right. While the game is paused in a Fast Walk state, you can switch movement keys quickly, Mach Run, and then unpause in rapid succession, allowing for a much speedier Insta-turn. There is a lot more advanced movement tech this game has to offer, so I strongly recommend checking it out on the Pizza Tower Speedrunning Wiki.

Really nice seeing you speedrun this game, I came back to pizza tower after the noise update and started completing the remaining achievements and done P ranks. With Peppino I only have the last floor remaining to have a 101%, meawhile with Noise I am currently trying to get 2 remaining clothes 18:16 those are ghost peppers lol 34:07 I think they are pickles. There's even a picture of them in a jar in the ice level 57:15 in this section I recommend immediately grabbing a bot one it spawns and throwing it at another one 1:00:00 there's also a cool skip for this: if you have enough speed and jump over the ramp you will be able to get throught the kicking machine before king ghost can posses it 1:06:58 it was not just a random guy, that was gustavo lol Anyways, you seem really skilled with the game, it was fun watching this run!

I really like the TV screen of Peppino when you get the Shotgun. Also, some other things: Peppino punches pizzaface into obvlivion because he threatened him to destroy his pizzeria.. That's why Peppino went into the tower in the first place. Also, also, the tower itself IS a level. You can see all the John blocks throughout the floors.

[@arielbeltranvz9339]

ive done many pizza tower speedruns, not like for the leaderboard i dont like them hahaha. You actually had a movement a bit slow, and slamming a bit into walls. For pizza tower i learned that theres nothing to be scared about not being good, because the game teaches alone, and one watch to the speedrun and you can actually reproduce it, its very easy tbh. Pause abuse its banned, so you dont have to do it, and most strats in game are actually pretty easy, turning its also pretty recommended still, i saw you did some cancels in direction, but its not necesary always, its just less than half a second in timesaved and idk if still legal, but exiting while holding up in a level in the exit door and more specifically in fast saloon which completes you the level and even if the time save its the same, in this case its better because you can buy the door thanks that you spawn up in the exact place and it saves you a bit of time, and its pretty easy. Overall you did had the optimal way, but theres room to do better overall, even with teeny tiny optimizations theres room to improve like 15 minutes and that its all just memory of levels. But you did great, it wasnt for a speedrun, but it seems you did really memorized the pathing, props for the too fast judgement.👍
