Tricky Treat

Tricky Treat is a bonus level in Pizza Tower, available only during the Pumpkin Hunt event.

The player is tasked to collect ten Pumpkins while avoiding a Pumpkin Ghost. The level becomes accessible once the player collects twenty pumpkins from all the standard levels during the Pumpkin Hunt event. The entrance to the level can be found in the Tower Lobby.

The level consists of a main path with 5 pumpkins, indicated by green pumpkin arrows, and 5 extra areas each containing an additional pumpkin, indicated by blue pumpkin arrows. On the bottom left of the screen is a counter, showing how many pumpkins are left to be collected. The player is chased constantly by a Pumpkin Ghost, which behaves identically to John Ghost. However, contact with the Pumpkin Ghost will eject the player back to the Tower Lobby. Once all pumpkins have been collected, a Pizza Box will send the player back to the entrance of the level.

In contrast to other levels, Tricky Treat lacks many gameplay elements found on other levels of the game; pumpkins are the only collectable and the level does not have ranks, a Pizza Time timer, or a titlecard. The HUD is similarly minimal, only displaying the number of pumpkins left and lacking the TV HUD, score, and combo indicators.

Trivia

• If the player backtracks and attempts to enter the entrance room of the level while in the Ghost transformation, an ominous sprite of Peppino in dramatic red light covers the rest of the screen, and the game's audio cuts out. After eight seconds have passed, the game closes itself.
  • The sprite used was originally planned to be used in Peppino's Final Judgement. The level reuses this sprite, with the text stating that the judgement is final removed.
    • The easter egg was added as leaving the stage would softlock the player, as the Metal Blocks would respawn, making it impossible to progress through the level.
