Peppino's House

Peppino's House is a secret location in Pizza Tower which is unlocked after beating the final boss as The Noise. The room is used to access Swap Mode. This area can only be accessed while playing as The Noise. It does not appear when playing in Swap Mode or as Peppino.

The room is unique for not being inside of any of the floors in the game, rather being its own location.

Gameplay

The room becomes accessible to the player once they beat the final boss as The Noise. In the room before the afermentioned encounter titled "Outside" in Staff Only, the player can see smoke emerging from the left gap. When the player falls down it they are sent to Peppino's House and Peppino gets startled, laying on his bed, while behind him a boombox activates playing a muffled version of Funiculi Holiday. When the player exits the room for the first time they are shown a screen that says "Swap Mode Unlocked". Afterwards, the player is sent back to the first room of the Tower Lobby.

House Interior

Peppino's house includes a lot of small jokes, world-building details and references to Pizza Tower history. It might be one of the most crowded backgrounds in the game, just behind backgrounds like the ones seen in Don't Make A Sound and the third background of Refrigerator-Refrigerador-Freezerator. This section will cover them all within a gallery template.

• 
  The hole that the player is seen falling trough to access the area. Notably this is a part of the background image, and not a tileset.
• 
  A portrait of a dog, with a text on the photo that simply says "Dog". Very likely to belong to Peppino, or one of his relatives.
• 
  Poster, that shows Snick, and Tail on a green background with the letter 2. This is not only a reference to the given characters, but also a reference to the boxart of Sonic The Hedgehog 2, a game from the frenchise, of which Snick is a parody of. Notably this poster implies that the first game in the Snick series, shown in the manual of the SAGE 2019 demo, eventually came out.
• 
  Robot based off Peppino's image seen behind his bed. The robot has a sign hung onto its neck that says "Out of order". This robot doesn't appear to be a reference to any prior material, and the story implications are completely unknown.
• 
  3 medals hung on a frame in Peppino's room. The rightmost one depicts a golden pizza, with a ribbon containing the dutch tricolor spaced out over the course of 4 bands. This ribbon likely doesn't represent anything as no flag with the dutch tricolor contains 4 bands. The center medalion depicts a golden version of what could either be a bird or a star, attached to a ribbon with the colors of the Italian flag. The leftmost design is a basic medal design with an outer-sphere and an inner-sphere, with the same ribbon as the middle medal.
• 
  A portrait of one of Peppino's ancestors seen in concept art for one of the game's oldest storylines, where said relative visited Peppino as a ghost. This plotline and its coexisting concept artwork state that the ancestor is no longer alive, unlike he appears in the portrait.
• 
  A framed revolver that appears identical to the ones seen in the Vigilante and Pizzahead fights. On top of it seems to be a small hammer.
• 
  An uncolored picture of a tall man resembling Peppino in a cowboy hat. Likely his relative.
• 
  An alarm clock on a bedside table. References the clocks Peppino is seen collecting during the escape sequence of every level.
• 
  A drawer on the right side of Peppino's room featuring two photos. One shows a baby with black hair and a long nose characteristic for Peppino's family. The other contains Peppino grabbing the Pizza Maniac by the shoulder. He is from the fictional bootleg video game of the same title mentioned by McPig throughout Pizza Tower's development.

Trivia

• The muffling effect used for Funiculi Holiday in the location is the same as the one used for the pause screen in the Octobe22 build. This is best seen when pausing during the tutorial, while the song is playing.
