I Like Sticker Star

I have done nothing but telephoto bread for 3 days. Also, have y'all played Rabbids Go Home? Good game.

Italians Blazing

Axis finally gets to confront the chef-hatted human that has been causing him nothing but problems. Much to Peppino's dismay of course.

Gameplay:

Peppino is not able to attack Axis head on. Instead, an inconspicuous trash can lid will show up similar to how Gustavo shows up in phase 3 of the final boss in Pizza Tower. You can throw this trash lid at Axis to do damage to him. Do this for both phases and you kill and win the fight with Axis.

If you want to solve to fight peacefully, you have to shock Axis enough times to pull him out of his desire to kill humans. You shock using red orbs (I don't know what they're called and I can't be bothered to figure that out). In order to actually do this you need to tick off Axis enough to actually throw out the red orbs.

To do this, you have two options:

By using the "Act", Peppino will taunt Axis raising Axis's "Tick-o-Meter."

You can also parry Axis's to raise his "Tick-o-Meter".

Once Axis's "Tick-o-Meter" is filled, he shoots a red orb at Peppino who must parry it back traditional, or by using the "Act" button while holding the trash lid, Peppino will use the trash lid as a deflector similar to Clover in the original fight. The trash lid is basically Peppino's taunt parry but a less strict timing compared to the parry taunt. However, you do sacrifice mobility as Peppino only gets very basic movement while holding the trash lid. Again, similar to Gustavo in phase 3.

Phase 2 of the fight is very similar to phase 1, only more complicated attacks and now you have to destroy to generators before you can go for Axis. Do this enough times and Axis will be pulled out of his emotional desire to kill humans. This allows Ceroba to enter in and you can us the robot amalgamation you created earlier for Axis to fall in love with winning the fight peacefully.

Deal the Pizza Out!

Peppino gets ganged up on. He really cannot catch a break.

Gameplay:

The Fiesty Four boss fight is less of an actual boss fight and more of an endurance test. The fight goes on for a set amount of time before Starlo intervenes. But, thats not say this fight has no strategy. While you can't speed up the fight, there are things you can do to put the fight in your favor. Most notably with your newly acquired pistol. Just like the original boss fight, the Fiesty Four will take turns doing attacks sometimes opting to do partners attacks where two members attack Peppino at a time. If Peppino shoots at the current enough times, the attacker will have their attack ended early. So the ideal strategy is to get rid of attacks you have a harder time with as soon as possible by using the pistol. And stall for time on easier attacks by just not shooting and opting to focus on dodging. The "Act" will also help you endure through this fight, the "Act" has Peppino take out a root beer and chugging it down and getting a stock back. However, you only have a set amount of root beers and you need to be careful not use all them up right away.

Protopino

Peppino really cannot catch a break in the underground. Not even with Martlet.

Gameplay:

During Martlet's first phase, she only uses feather based attacks. Her 2nd phase has her attacking Peppino with random tools and other junk.

If you want to attack Martlet, she will be vulnerable at first to let you get a free hit. But after that, will not become vulnerable again, you'll just have to keep attacking her to chip away at her health. It won't be nearly as quick to take a stock from her as you have to attack a few times for one stock rather than taking it in one hit when she left herself vulnerable.

Ending the fight peacefully is pretty simple. During phase 1, Peppino will have an "Act" similar to Dalv's where Peppino flails his hands in an desperate attempt to show Martlet he doesn't want to fight. Martlet gets thrown off by this and takes longer for her to start attacking Peppino. During phase 2, Martlet tells Peppino to use insults. Your "Act" changes to Peppino thinking of potential insults. After "Act"ing enough times Peppino will shout an insult at Martlet with each one getting more intense. The 3rd time, Peppino just straight screams at Martlet which translates to a bunch of profanities and how she sucks as a Royal Gaurd. Martlet ends up admiting to Peppino that she really does such at her job and is currently on thin ice being one misstep away from being fired. She fears if the Royal Guard found out she hesitated to attack Peppino, she's doomed. But, she gets the idea to help you out of the underground so no one finds out about what she did and she can keep her job. This ultimately ends the fight.

One last thing to note. Whichever route you choose, you do not end killing Martlet as she ends the fight before you can deliver the final blow.

Kit and Gobbles go home

I attempted to make Kit and Gobbles in Rabbids Go Home. How well I did is up for debate.

Fun fact about Gobbles: His face was way more cursed before I went and changed it to what you see now.

I got a few photos of them in action. (And exploiting an old man for mobility.)

Also I kinda of have Mugman in the line up. I just shoot him out the Wii remote.

Pizzalorn

First major boss encounter and Peppino is already getting cooked (or shocked I guess). Don't really see how Dalv could mistake a balding middle age Italian for a girl in a tutu, but who knows?

Gameplay:

Since Dalv is the first major boss Peppino is facing, he is by far the simplest to explain. If you're looking to kill Dalv you just have to attack him when's he vulnerable (flashing white like in Pizza Tower), he becomes vulnerable after doing an attack. If you want you want to spare Dalv you will have use your "Act". This has Peppino flail his arms in a desperate attempt to show Dalv that Peppino is not who Dalv thinks he is. After two phases of doing this, Dalv will finally realize Peppino is not a ghost coming back to haunt him for his mistakes. Though, Dale becomes very guilt ridden for attacking someone completely innocent. Hitting the "Act" button at this point will have Peppino offer his hand to Dalv as a sign of a truce and friendship which Dalv takes. You can also betray kill Dalv as this point by simply attacking him rather than "Act"ing. This takes Dalv out in one fowl swoop which... rude.

Showdownification

Starlo has Peppino tied up... literally.

I made a few crossover pieces between Pizza Tower and Undertale Yellow. Mainly consisting of Peppino going up against the cast from Undertale Yellow. I also wanted to share gameplay ideas I had to go along with these drawings!

Gameplay:

Since this is the first post mention these gameplay concepts, I want to start off by talking about how these bosses would play in general. To start off, each boss would be very similar to Pizza Tower bossfights. Peppino and his opponent would have a set amount of stocks. If you're looking to kill your opponent, you'll have to fight them in a very similar vein as Pizza Tower where you wait an opponent's attack and hit them when they're vulnerable. But what if you want to spare your opponents? Well you have separate button to "Act". Instead of attacking, Peppino can perform a plethora of actions to make the fight easier, give Peppino an advantage, or resolve conflicts peacefully. The "Act" is kinda similar to how the pistol works where you have to spam it enough times to get the desired effect. When you "Act" an exclamation mark will appear above a stock. Once one exclamation mark appears above each stock, you can move on to the next phase or end the fight peacefully. But for some opponets (mainly bosses). It's impossible to get these exclamation marks in which case, you have to fight them until they get low on health and then spare them. (Sparing is simply done by spamming the "Act" button.) While the "Act" does allow Peppino the chance to solve conflicts peacefully in a Pizza Tower gameplay setting. It is very limiting compared to the traditional "Act" button seen in traditional Undertale games as instead of having the choice to perform multiple actions. Peppino is locked to performing one action depending on who he is facing. Now that's how I envisioned fighting playing out in general, now I want to talk about the fun part. Starlo's (or North Star's) boss fight!

Starlo's Bossfight:

Starlo's boss fight consists of two phases. The first phase has Peppino tied in a lasso by Starlo and forced to break out. Peppino uses the attack button to breakout of the lasso. Breaking out acts similar to using the pistol in Pizza Tower. You can either spam the button to breakout or charge an attack to do some major damage on the lasso. However, the lasso acts like the the cuffs in the Pig Cops use in Pig City allowing a very limited range of movement (Not as limited as the Pig Cop's cuffs, but still limited) and are kinda of at the mercy of where Starlo decides to go on the arena so you'll have to play around this fact. And for the people wondering People wondering why Peppino couldn't just mach run out of the Lasso, Starlo is surprisingly more competent then the Pig Cops in the fact that he can actually keep himself from getting flung by Peppino when the portly Italian attempts to break out via the mach run. Even though Peppino can't instantly break out of the lasso with the mach run. The mach run will allow him to break the lasso down much faster than rather his traditional means of breaking out with the caveat that Peppino is much more vulnerable to attacks as he is stuck in one place.

After completely breaking down the lasso, Peppino will completely break the lasso into multiple pieces before grabbing out his pistol and aiming at the star shaped cowboy. Starlo for his part is amazed by the fact that Peppino managed to break out of his lasso through brute strength commenting on this fact. Starlo tells Peppino that it's a fair showdown now without the lasso starting the second phase. The second phase acts very similar to the Pizzahead's second phase. Starlo throw a bunch of attacks at Peppino without any stopping and is constantly moving around the arena forcing Peppino to stay on his toes. After the second phase is the dual. Starlo realizes he's down to one bullet in his chamber and proposes the a dual to Peppino. Peppino begrudgingly accepts and both the opponets go to their respective sides. The actual dual itself is basically a carbon copy from the duel with vigilante. You have to beat Starlo to the trigger once the huge draw sign appears. Doing this does Starlo in, turing the cowboy into dust. If you want to solve this fight peacefully you simply have to his the "Act" button at the dual. Doing this will have Peppino put down his gun surrendering. This has Starlo questioning Peppino's action before Ceroba intervenes ending the fight. Using the "Act" before this moment will have Peppino glare daggers at Starlo intimidating the sheriff enough to slow down his attacks for a bit of time making them easier to dodge and predict.

I know this this was super long post and I'm hoping future posts won't be nearly this long, but thank you for sticking around till the end to read this!
