[@nota_ffs]

If you didn’t know Mr. Stick was also planned to be a boss at one point. He had an unused stage and everything though his animations were pretty incomplete.

[@DobleDDD]

Instead theres just him recolored full green and theres a bee chasing you.

[@AlekoTheSpencer]

and that his boss would have phases (it used an old boss mechanic/system where the bosses would have 6 phases and that they would have a healthbar instead of a HP system) his first phase would be him using his helicopter hat to fly around, him dashing with a bag of money, and him pulling out a shield with spikes on it. As for the second phase he would spawn the pepperman boss with all his attacks to try to distract you but attacking pepperman would not bring down mr.sticks health as it was only a distraction, so much so that if you focus too much on attacking pepperman he would pull out a beach chair and drink and relax until you attack him as for the 3rd phase he would bring out vigilante (it would be the same concept as the 2nd phase where he has all his attacks etc) 4th phase would bring out noise (same concept again) but the 5th phase would bring out pepperman AGAIN but a harder version of him where hes faster has more attacks etc and for the 6th and final phase would bring out a harder version of vigilante (same concept as phase 5) and not only that but all the phases were on a timer (so they were technically rounds not phases but eh) and going a little more in depth into the old boss system the way to win would be to either beat the boss or have more health then him when the time runs out and the way to lose is to get beaten by the boss OR have less health then him when the time runs out. Most likely the reason it was scrapped was because it was made for the old boss system and who would hold the last boss gate for money if he was defeated? Ik this is really really long but ik alot about PT TLDR: Mr Stick would send out previous bosses to fight along side him as well as distract him to work with a new boss system

Peshino actually gets used in a way in the final game. It appears in "Don't Make a Sound" most of the time when you get jumpscared by one of the main enemies, being the doll, the giant cheese, or the sausage butcher, and it would replace Peppino for a very short amount of time before Peppino breaks out of the suit. It's an interesting reference to FNAF.

I think the “fireass” transformation is used. In Bloodsauce Dungeon, when you touch the lava, he bounces back up with his ass on fire. It doesn’t count as taking damage, and the monitor changes to a new sprite, implying it’s a transformation.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Fair enough, I personally wouldn't count that as a "transformation" but if that's what it was intended to be, then sure!

[@antisemantics3232]

The comment about not wanting half the characters to be "restricted" was because more than half of the playable cast was restricted to one or two levels, even the noise was going to be level restricted for a while.

[@foidly]

Skateboard noise is basically a peppino clone so I think he couldn’t be level restricted

[@hoxrose]

The reason Peppino's sprites have him in a yellow outfit, and the reason that the older unused sprites are simply white is because the game uses the yellow color as a sort of chroma key and replace the yellow with whatever color/pattern was chosen in the closet. However the game used to not have customizable colors, so Peppino's sprites just used the white color, as they probably hadn't planned the custom colors at that time. Gustavo also wears yellow clothes for this reason, and the noise doesn't use this method as his outfit color doesn't conflict with any other part of him (unlike the other two with the white on the outfit and eyes).

[@cheesepop7175]

i hate ur pfp

[@isaacmayer-splain8974]

Another interesting example of Chroma key in indie gaming is Dogma from the binding of isaac, both the boss and item.

[@jaggerguth4391]

Interestingly, there is a artifact of Enraged Totino Pizzahead (Or "Crazyhead") left in the final game: the Pizza Boy icon in the save file screen gets angrier and angrier as you advance to the top of the tower, presumably representing Pizzahead's reactions while watching Peppino from the tower's security room.

[@RealProtonPrompt]

He would go from happy, to sad, to angry, to crazy, to absolutely insane, to handsome, to dead, then be replaced by Pillar John.

[@antisemantics3232]

The yellow peppino outfit exists for placeholder sprite reasons, characters that dont have sprites for specific actions use peppino's sprites with that yellow palette when doing said actions, such as when the debug-playable noise uppercuts in the final game.

[@Clownbelt-u2s]

In the original sketch concepts, the red Peppino transformation was supposed to be a flustered transformation from a scrapped enemy: a pizza lady. The enemy would’ve blown kisses that would hit Peppino and cause him to go red.

The Redskin Peppino transformation is actually used in the final game during the Fridge Level's power trip section at the end, after Peppino eats something very spicy.

In the Sage demo (which is still available to play right now) you were able to use pizza tokens that would randomly drop from brick blocks in levels where you would buy a shotgun from the shop which would let you have a new move set and also not lose any points from taking damage, but losing the shotgun

[@chicknnunget638]

11:49 If I had to take a guess, I'm pretty sure this was an early version of the Monitor attack in the 2nd phase of the final boss. Since the monitor was originally just Peppino's head, Pizza Head would've used the Peppino head as an attack, which would have to be changed as the head was replaced by a monitor displaying Peppino.

[@WardenYouTubeMc]

19:49 OH THATS THE DRUNK TRANSFORMATION!! It's when Peppino drinks a sort of bottle of beer and then just becomes all green and can sneeze at enemies to kill them

[@VOLATILEVOXELS]

FUN FACTS ABOUT THE GUN: The shotgun was first available in the SAGE demo, back before the idea of pizza coins were scrapped. Pizza coins, found when defeating enemies, could be used at a pizzamart to buy a shotgun. The shotgun had infinite ammo but would be lost upon getting hit. Each pizzamart offered 2 shotguns, so the backup shotgun monitor did go used in the SAGE demo. The jerry can, I believe, was used even earlier when Peppino was planned to have a chainsaw. As a matter of fact, I’d suggest checking out the SAGE demo if it’s still available. The level design pales in comparison to the final release, but it offers insight to a lot of lost content as well as a playable Snick the Porcupine if you beat all of the achievements.

[@luigibudd]

pizza coins could also be dropped by marble blocks

[@-ferno4333]

I think you can still see Peshino temporarily if you get caught in Don't Make a Sound, since you get trapped in that form for a short time, which depletes some score each second you are in it. So it's not entirely scrapped, more like, repurposed

16:45 I think this is for color mapping purposes? if Peppino's graphics had the white hat, then by trying to change his color it would also change the color of his eyes. Very cool video, been loving Pizza Tower and it's awesome to see what the development history looked like! here's hoping they revisit some of these concepts in the future.

Ah that would make sense! Thanks for watching!

[@Descending.]

@@TetraBitGaming This is also the same reason as to why noise is skin colored

[@fizzipawp_z]

I love that they brought back Co-op / The Noise

[@ClamChow]

The scrapped Noise costume for Peppino looks identical to the Noise's early design with the pizza medallion and pizza design on top of his hat. Another scrapped mechanic is how pizza time would be activated. At the end of the level the Noise would show up with the text "uh oh it's the Noise" appearing on screen. He would then press a button to activate pizza time. This is shown in Vinesauce's video on a demo of pizza tower from 4 years ago along with an unused Pepperman fight where he is giant for some reason.

[@QuiGonJoe]

14:54 back in the SAGE Demo you would get shotguns at the pizzamarts using coins that you would randomly get, you would be able to hold 2 shotguns since you would lose your current gun when taking damage. That sprite was used to show that you have a backup shotgun.

[@insertafunnynam3]

The shotgun was actually in demo 1. it also used to have ammo, you could actually get more ammo from ammo packs in the days of blue block land

[@Dreamer1452]

7:57 this is perfect

[@wabbledeen4050]

the backup shotgun graphic appeared in the SAGE build i believe? In that build you could actually purchase shotguns within each of the levels, each shop having 2 that you could purchase. When you got hit, you would lose the shotgun. If you bought 2, the other would be shown in the monitor, and would allow you to keep the shotgun for 2 hits.

[@davidmolin8944]

So happy you posted a lost bits on pizza tower, loved trying out some of the pre releases that my friend showed me

[@Despacitoian]

The reason why peppino has yellow clothes in his unused sprites is because he has them everywhere, the game uses that yellow in all of Peppino’s sprites and then swaps it out for the color/pattern of his current clothes

[@Imirui]

One of the things I hoped you had covered were the old escape variants of backgrounds. Oregano Desert originally had the pizzas in the back sprout eyes and mouths while meteors fell, Peppibot Factory had limbs come out of pizzas and the lights changed to red with screaming faces in them, and Oh Shit had the sewer flood with cheese, and the also scrapped cheese pizza background decoration grow human eyes and a skull jaw and laughed maniacally. Now the only 3 levels with any form of change in backgrounds are Pig City, Oh Shit, and Pizzascare. Pig City has the city light on fire, Oh Shit has eyes and tentacles appear in the first background, and Pizzascare has its final background gain a red coloring while the skulls in the back had their eyes glow. Similarly, Pizzascape, Peppibot Factory, and Oh Shit had escape variants made for their music.

[@pixeljacked8047]

16:50 this is also done in the final game with peppino, to allow for the various clothes, there is a base colour that they apply too, that is also yellow, so that it only keys out the clothes and hat, as the eyes and teeth are white. this allows for the neat effect with some clothes having a pattern on them that stays still, like the skull and bones clothing, or the pizza outfit.

[@waluigiwaluigireal]

There’s a few scrapped levels too: Space pinball, dragon lair, kung-fu, mansion, and carnival. Kung-fu was merged with the current version of city, dragon’s lair was a beta version of WAR, space pinball was actually fully playable in eggplant build with tilesets and soundtrack, however mansion is completely scrapped.

[@invalid_user_handle]

I think you forgot about the playable version of Snick. In the SAGE 2019 demo, it was possible to play as him if you beat all the levels, and a small amount of code related to him still exists in the final game. But, there's so little left that the character's non-functional if you play as him, unlike the Noise, Vigilante, or Pepperman.

[@bootxd4299]

I have a theory for one of the scrapped animations, the red noise green peppino: Maybe that transformation will be used in the Refrigerator-Refrigerador-Freezenador level, as you progress to the level, peppino will eventually get sick, and start sneezing, while sneezing, peppino will attack any enemy in his back for 5 seconds, after that, you will have to use some fire enemy of the diablos choise. That is just my theory, I might be completely wrong, but ok.

[@samuelpro4305]

Note: The Peppino that appears after getting jumpscare in the don’t make a sound level is actually going to be also a transformation for Peppino, In the eggplant build (i think) in the early version of mentioned level that transformation would appear that it follows you everywhere you go.

[@sparkling_kat]

I was waiting for this to come by, and it has. This Lost Bits vid is awesome 👍

[@meteorshower_5hund0]

the unused super peppino transformation seems to take heavy inspiration from the noise's old design. the noise also would activate pizza time in one of the early builds, around demo 2, i think.

[@rayjohnnercacao3703]

The Heat Meter additionally makes the enemies behave differently when the gauge is high enough. Cheeseslimes will start using a bat to attack when in close range, Forknight gains jetpack to charge-attack upon sight, and the Bandito Chicken's bone bombs now spawns 2 smaller ones upon explosion.

11:40 most of these scrapped animations for the second phase of pizzahead’s boss fight would’ve used certain level gimmicks and assets in the fight itself. The musketeer attack would’ve used the knight transformation. The animation showing pizzahead throwing Peppino’s portrait/hud would’ve been almost identical to pizzahead’s tv/hud attack in the final fight. The present attack was based off the present level asset that can be seen in some of the levels and at the start of Pizzaface/pizzahead’s boss fight in the final game. The bomb attack was based off of the pizza box goblin’s bombs (or it could just be a normal bomb attack). The rat “attack” either was an actual attack or just a gag animation similar to pizzahead’s bodypillow animation, both outcomes for this animations would’ve used the stupid rat level asset.

Snick.exe was also part of "snicks challenge" where he'd follow you through a gauntlet of a few levels (pizzascape, the ancient cheese, and blood sauce dungeon) and upon completion would unlock the normal snick who did not have access to grab, but did have a passive sprint.

alright, I might be wrong about this, but the last time I heard about the "hard mode" stuff, which was AGES ago, I thought the dude flying around spawning enemies was going to be "The Pizzamancer" or something (which is essentially what looked to be pizzaface but with a wizard hat, hands and feet) and that the snick.exe sprite was just a placeholder. I'm not 100% sure if I might be correct on that one, if there's anybody that knows more than I do about the hard mode stuff do let me know. Either way, I'd like to see more videos covering unused pizza tower content, this was fun to watch

[@Verynoobman]

14:51someone that played the demo here, you could get coins from blocks broken to find a conviniently placed pizzamart which u could find a shotgun in that costs 4 coins,it changes your moveset by a tiny bit

[@kramkrum3672]

I think there's so much potential for a Pizza Tower sequel based on all these scrapped/unfinished things alone. I wouldn't want just DLC, I think a jumbo-sized sequel would be better worth the wait. Also, bring back Snick!!!!

[@fenrirsrage4609]

Honestly the fact you managed to condense all the cut content from the previous builds and concepts into 21+ minutes is impressive

[@insertafunnynam3]

This is not even NEAR all cut content

[@okey7281]

11:50 - this was the equivalent of the TV attack, where pizzahead throws peppino’s face (the old hud) at peppino.

[@TrevorEgder]

So cool to see these ideas. Always intriguing to see the changes made during development

[@JustAPrettyCoolDude]

15:08 Fact: In one (or 2) demo of pizza tower, the bullets and jerry cans can be found throughout levels. The fuel can was used for a pizza cutter chainsaw, and the bullets were used for a revolver that peppino held onto him. A was the chainsaw, and Up+A was the gun

[@thesupergamer4190]

3:49 this aged well

[@taraktaras7327]

16:34 look at him go! potatino peptato in all seriousness WOAH! i knew you would do this but i am impressed! also only 21 minutes and 20 seconds and just first part? yeah, 5 years is alot and there are ALOT of scrapped stuff.

[@Mentles1]

The Peshino transformation is used. It's just a temporary transformation that damages you for a bit.

[@SeamstarSmokey]

A couple things about some unused content: -The backup shotgun was originally used as you could buy shotguns midlevel in the SAGE build of Pizza Tower, and taking damage removed it, meaning if you had a backup, you could have two hits before both shotguns are depleted -Peppino is in yellow for all the files that shows his outfit as that’s how the outfits actually work, the outfits just go over the yellow. I assume this is so outfits such as the Bad Bones, Pizza Man, etc are able to work -The red transformation in the scrapped sprites is probably an early version of the one he gets in RRF after eating the Devil’s Choice

[@Theo_Jenkins]

would've loved that final phase also the yellow is the placeholder for every costume, and then the costume is layered over peppino

[@mikejr7727]

That scream is a throwback and a half to my days of Crash Tag Team Racing! I miss that game so much.

[@SeonilKim-ry5lj]

15:10 From what I heard, the jerrycan was for fueling an unused weapon for Peppino to use, which was a chainsaw that looked like pizza cutter!

[@Tozito911]

pizza face screaming “get out” it’s so cool, i’d wish that was in the final game

[@jackiejelly8847]

I’ve been trying to read most of the comments to make sure if anyone has pointed this out, but I don’t think they have so I’ll say it myself The “reloading pizza” if I recall correctly is actually a health meter used in somewhat early demos like the GOLF demo, back then dying was actually something that could happen and the hud icon would display peppino/noise as worried when on low health to compensate, peppino even had a now unused vomiting animation (as well as an alternate version with blood that never went used) as an idle animation when he was on low health. I’m genuinely really glad someone’s covering the unused content of this game, as someone who’s been a fan since 2018 all the stuff that never went used is so fun to talk about and people deserve to learn about it, I hope the corrections aren’t too overwhelming for you, you’re doing a great job covering this stuff tbh and I can’t wait to see more

[@bluey-next777]

6:31 *R U N*

[@augustleded]

surprised this video wasnt 3 hours long considering ive been playing it since ealy 2021, and trust me, there is so much unused content

[@TetraBitGaming]

You wouldn't be surprised if you knew how hold these take to make haha

[@augustleded]

@@TetraBitGaming haha yeah, i plan on reviewing pizza tower soon even if im late to the party

[@latnorth]

crazy how you can see old game references even in the cut content. i'm 99.9% sure the sprite at 19:36 is a reference to a power up in super bonk, with a similar design (brown, smoke puffs, hanna barbera legs, etc)

[@scoundral2995]

I have a hunch that the swiss cheese peppino is just his death animation before becoming a ghost. Like maybe there was a bunch of milk deputies (The guys with guns in the saloon level) in a firing range waiting at the door turning peppino into a ghost

[@WayWardWonderer]

Not at all surprised to see this video! Good work as usual, Tetra.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Thanks for watching 😎

[@b.b.b.b.b.b]

peshino is actually used to punish the player in 'dont make a sound' when they get jumpscared

[@RandomManFromPoland]

the "some sort of superhero" transformation is basically the noise's outfit from earlier builds

[@insertafunnynam3]

I think the superhero transformation might have been made before the Noise, atleast i remember hearing that sometime in the PTD?

[@leyulis8882]

The bullet and gasoline were for a very gimmicky concept of having the ability to use the revolver in any level and also a pizza cutter, from what's i've seen of how it worked in the scoutdigo mod, by pressing the shoot button (which also used to activate the shotgun seen in don't make a sound, WAR and TCToP) you could fire a bullet that killed any enemy on it's path and the pizza cutter which was like the Sonic spin dash attack however, there's a limit of 3 bullets and 3 gasoline, you could obtain more by randomly killing enemies. Also that backup shotgun was used in the public SAGE demo, essentially the way it worked was that every level had a pizzamart, but instead of working how they did in the final game, through the level you could get pizza coins to buy shotguns, these were lost after getting hit so that's why you're allowed to buy two shotguns, so you could have a backup in case you lost your shotgun, also instead of firing by pressing a different button or just grab, it was grab + up which was kind uncomfortable in my opinion
