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.

    47:00 ...oh. Aw. I was fully ready for a plug but instead I got something I really needed to hear. Thanks, Speezy.

    12:47 If you're going for 100% or 101% the eyes count towards the completion percentage and you need the treasure on top of not dropping your combo for the P rank which getting all of them gives you 101%.

    Can't wait for you to speedrun Pizza Tower with someone else on Swap mode if you decide on doing that. And let’s face it there aren't that many Pizza Tower swap mode video out there so it would be cool and fun for you to do one with one of your buddies.

    I'm surprised he didn't catch the whole "Ghost Pepper" thing
  • @valourss
    “Our rank doesn’t matter because obviously it’s a speedrun” The HOLY SH*T judgement: are you sure about that?
  • @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
  • @cocoasprinklez
    as a relatively decent speedrunner for this game, i'm so glad this video has finally been made! thanks speezy this was really fun to watch
  • @SNoodle
    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...
  • @spaceman1501
    This speedrun fits so perfectly because Pizza Tower is a game made around that feeling of going at UNSTOPPABLE SPEED
  • @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

    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.
