5:56 the cow is in fact in the final game! In the refrigerator refrigerador freezarator level when you go back to the beginning with the spicy pizza powerup and break through the ice blocks, the free milk cow will appear near the lap 2 portal, and it still removes your ability!

Since you mentioned how Unexpentancy Part 1 was sampled from one of Mr Sauceman’s scrapped games, I thought I should mention that Unexpentancy Part 2 was actually inspired from a 1920’s song called “After you get what you want, you don’t want it.” Pretty neat stuff ngl.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Yeah, there's even an earlier version of Part 2 that sampled "Ronald McDonald Insanity"

[@normalflashie]

@@TetraBitGaming pizzahead was based on a pizzahut mascot called pizzahead (literally the same name and his body is based on ronald mcdonald), in some credit images pizzahead is a clown similar to ronald

[@nota_ffs]

@@TetraBitGaming I was thinking that song actually sounded to Mc Donald insanity. Maybe the decision to use that 1920’s song as a sample was inspired by that song. They have a similar vibe to say the least.

16:28 I'm not sure if you're aware, but this track was previously used in the game, playing as you enter the castle from outside in Pizzascape. I assume it was removed to give Hot Spaghetti more play time.

we have Hot Spaghetti Cold Spaghetti but we didn't get Spaghetti

[@VOLATILEVOXELS]

@@Pari05Playz06real Old thumbnail for “There’s a bone in my spaghetti” moment

[@SheepRunner]

the unused "Spaghetti" music was, in the oldest versions, the third song used in between "Cold Spaghetti" and "Hot Spaghetti" but, since it was only used for 1-2 rooms, it was scrapped because few players could appreciate the song without just standing in place

[@darienb1127]

I think it's always so interesting to see just how different a game's development was over time. A lot of the transformation at first seemed to emulate the Puzzle Platformer side of the Wario Land games, but were altered in order to the new vision of the momentum based platforming we have now. Same with a lot of the scrapped characters and multiplayer mode. It was cut in order to further refine the experience that we would. More doesn't always mean better, and I think Tour De Pizza realized that.

[@RedstoneItems64]

The beta ghost ability appears more like the one from Kirby squeak squad, now that you mention the possession capabilities.

[@Flegz1]

Yay! More Pizza Tower lost bits! Amazing!

[@plushiewatches]

"Choosing the Toppings" also appears in the games soundtrack on steam, along with some other songs that don't appear in game, such as "For a Few More Toppings", which was used in a video to reveal the Vigilante as a playable character in an older demo

[@typhoonlava6488]

The ghost ability possessing enemies actually fit more with kirby's ghost ability

[@ripleyandweeds1288]

I do miss when transformations had their own unique fixes like the tombstones for ghost peppino, the corn for mort, etc. I also really like the animation for The Noise holding Mort at 10:34, I swear The Noise has some of the best character animations and I hope these get to be in the game if/when he becomes playable. edit: 14:43 Okay but why is he absolutely ass naked tho???

That Ronald Mcdonald Insanity tune may not have been intended for the final boss at any point, but I'm certain it inspired the Phase 2 music of the actual final boss. The little snippet played here for demonstration purposes immediately brings that track to mind.

[@DrakeFeatherwing]

So basically Fire-mouth Pepp was originally the Fire Wario transformation where you ran for a while before the fire consumed him and turned him to ash. I love these parallels with the games.

[@thetabo8648]

Man, I wish the devs will have at least a couple updates, cuz this game is amazing with ideas

[@Kadeo64]

The peppino with lots of bullet holes in him is exactly that, just a negative transformation that would happen after getting shot. Probably by the ranch ranchers, or whatever they were earlier in development. My guess is it would be called "Swiss cheese peppino."

[@jaysanchez1596]

The old version of pizza tower was a lot more based on puzzles now the game is more based on speed. I like the old and new version of pizza tower.

[@quesadibro1245]

It was so slow, it felt so painful, I’m glad it changed from being based on puzzles to now being based on speed.

[@maxspecs]

Wario Land did the same thing lol

[@talonzilla]

An interesting thing of note, there are typically only 6 jumpscares you can actually get in game, 4 for the Mushroom, Cheese, Tomato, and Sausage toppin monsters, an Oktoberfest jumpscares you can get from the main 4 toppin monsters, and one jumpscare at the start of the game if you leave the menu in the dark for too long. But there are actually a handful of unused jumpscares, the Pineapple toppin monster originally functioned similar to other toppin monsters, instead of its current function being to summon (or turn into) piranapples. There are also 5 scrapped 3d animated versions of all the toppin monsters jumpscares, besides Oktoberfest. It's funny how the pineapple toppin monster had both of its jumpscares scrapped.

[@mikynachomiguelangel8032]

For me the ghost peppino sounds like a feature of "Avenging Spirit" where the main feature is control the enemies as a ghost.

[@LewgusBoogis]

the box transformation was also used in a scrapped noise boss called "noise crusher" (bossroom1) when the noise crushed you i believe you'd lose it by getting hit by a noisey as well it's left over in i think golf and xmas build but is busted due to being outdated

[@RandomDude1487]

3:15 10/10 sponsored segment straight to the point, fast, and doesnt try to force you to pay attention

[@Scout6]

Not only did Pizzahead goes beast mode, Peppino goes beast mode aswell. That means the sheer amount of power that goes on above the Pizza Tower probably caused the destruction of the Pizza Tower.

[@luigibudd]

mu_medievalremix was used as an inbetween between hot spaghetti and cold spaghetti. you can hear it in the SAGE demo in pizzascape

[@crimsonbloodmoon8826]

I kinda think it’d have been cool to see the final boss, who has been characterized as a goofy, happy go lucky comical guy, to completely snap and go full serious mode, wanting to get rid of Peppino once and for all.

[@speedslider3913]

I agree! I think the devs were trying to go against the trope of ″funny guy turns out to be able to get serious/angry″ by having Pizzahead's personality be completely consistent and unchangeable, but I honestly would've preferred if they just let him get angry for an epic showdown.

[@Mr.L2534]

8:50 Or Kirby's ghost hability

[@PumpkinNoise]

i cant get enough pizza tower. literally i can not get enough of this game. when a game i LOVE has some unused content i will always try to find it. also i found a little thing in the sprites. i found Mr. pinch's entire a stringy cheese enemy that would later turn into Mr. pinch, a cheese boat witch was used in an early build, a pot full of a boiling substance, and a minecart for some reason. keep up the great work love the content!

At 10:34 the noise on the top left was used for when you ran on a barrel in some very old demos

[@VOLATILEVOXELS]

95% sure that was used for the roll as well (at least in Hardoween demo)

[@Entity404SFM]

With how many hoverauls and resprites this game got there is so much unused content left out of the full version that you could make a whole other game out of it

[@peeka_]

i actually liked the April 2021 build. It felt a lot more like a wario-like with all these special blocks. Plus the heat meter mechanic was interesting

[@stevecooper6578]

My guess is the Peppino with the holes in him would have happened with the Vigilante if you failed the draw at the end of the fight maybe

[@mocksuxker69]

"Peppino with holes" sprite predates the creation of Vigilante, so sadly it wasn't created for it.

5:47 not sure about this but if I'm not wrong at the end of freezerator you need to use this cow to get out of the devil's choice transformation and exit the level

[@AInternetPerson]

You are wrong. At the beginning of The 2nd lap of refrigerator refrigerator freezerator, there’s a cow infront of the 2nd lap pizza/portal that Peppino is forced to drink milk from, removing the chili-pizza transformation for the entirety of lap 2.

[@robloxkid]

5:53 the cow get used in the ice level in the area where there is 2nd lap

[@advance64bro]

I like it how you compare the similarities to peppino and Wario, the similarities also make me wonder if they are related

[@thenewguyinred]

The cool thing is that some of these unused graphics eventually made it back with the Noise Update.

[@crazycanyon3028]

[@zagoat9384]

I heard that in the game files, there is a folder with the names "DLC" I want to think that these are not discarded ideas, but ideas that they would use for later

[@madpizzalad]

I think the peppino with all the holes in him was for that scene when the noise pulls out a minigun. I imagine it like this, Pulls out gun, shoots peppino, sprite plays for a second, he falls to the ground, noisette grabs the noise, pulls him away, peppino still on the ground gives a small thumbs up and the finish music plays and you get your C rank 👍

[@insertafunnynam3]

That was made like five years before the Noise had a minigun in his boss fight

[@madpizzalad]

@@insertafunnynam3 Its just an idea

[@matthewgaming2408]

I think the Swiss cheese transformation was meant to be an unused unique death sprite for the fight with the noise, as perhaps, the noise would've been able to actually use his minigun in a potentially unused third phase back when he was playable as the devs might've wanted to make it where the noise could be unlocked after fighting him and they would've wanted to showcase his whole movement in the fight before the player plays as him, but I'm guessing that since the Vigiante already used a gun in his battle, AND since the noise would've had his moveset more similar to Peppino, as you discussed in the previous video, plus, no other boss fight had any kind of unique death animation or sprite for Peppino, it was decided to remove this third phase, though, that's just speculation. The reason I think it would've been a unique death animation for the noise fight, is because the noise's page on Wikipedia says before the noise can turn Peppino into Swiss cheese, noisette comes in and takes him away.

[@ApolloKampions]

4:20 Fun Fact You Can Find The “Mansion” Hub Secret In The Final Floor Of The Game And It Kinda Shows A Preview Of The Level As If Pepperman Had A Mansion.

Hey, so in that not-so-private playtester build, could you cover the old hubworld? It also has a concept art of the full working thing on the Cutting Room Floor.

[@Karinum]

Spaghetti was actually intended to be in pizza tower, and is used in the pizza tower SAGE 2019 demo, i'm pretty sure it was originally supposed to be all 3 spaghettis in the level but it ended up being scrapped and left with just hot spaghetti and cold spaghetti.

[@alexgreen7081]

If I remember correctly I think there were 2 more cut playable characters. Cowboy Peppino and King Noyz, the idea was that Cowboy Peppino would have Noise's old move set and King Noyz would have Peppino's. This idea didn't go far though... don't think it got a single peice of concept art.

I think the reason many of the things that were meant to turn Peppino back to normal getting scrapped in favor of the Pizza Pope is simple. Clarity. If you had multiple things that only catered to one of their respective transformations, it'd be pretty tricky to memorize them all.

[@BinglesP]

It is pretty funny how he has to pray off Mort though, it implies something foul about that fowl

[@sargentgullible2794]

The only foul Mort ever has is just him being completely brave and idiotic at the same time.

[@babaiscoolage4month2]

fun fact;you can play as noise by typing "player_room characterselect A" into the console,and most of his transformations are working although he does have some missing sprites,such as: mach jump?idk how to call that move super jump cancel some transformation sprites,the noise only has 2 sprites for mort being him falling after double jumping with him and the tv screen
