Trivia
Remember to read the wiki's trivia guidelines before adding trivia or making changes.
- There is a cut track that was planned to be used for this level known as "The Tower Ultimatum", based on the level music of Bloodsauce Dungeon and the pilotredsun's "Grinch's Ultimatum". It is unused because they could not get permission from pilotredsun for the use of his music.
- The room "It's Claus!" is also a nod to Grinch's Ultimatum, in which there is a scene featuring a gif of Santa Claus with the flashing text "It's Claus!"
- This is the last level that was made public on Itch.io.
- The last room after The Noise's boss fight and right before Pizza Time starts is a nod to Pizzascare from Noise's Hardoween, even going down to have the same background and music as that level.
- After Peppino's Xmas Break, this level was repurposed as a bonus level, being mildly updated until the April 2021 Build, where its final update came in the form of adding Gerome and his door.
- Although this level's still in the files of the full game, the game crashes as soon as the Noise Miniboss fight starts, due to a parent not being set for the Noise Bomb. However, the level is still beatable as being very close to Santa as he reveals himself as The Noise and pulls out the Noise Bomb, the player will be pushed into a wall and the miniboss will start. Losing the miniboss crashes the game.
- The second room's background has a not perfectly aligned background, It's easy to spot when getting to the 6th secret.
- An unused Christmas version of the treasure room graphics can be found in the files, presumably scrapped due to the heavy compression seen on the sprites.
