Fake Peppino follows the motto of "anything you can do, I can do weirder." Fake Peppino directly copies Peppino's moveset and attributes, right down to having the same amount of max health as him, but does everything in an unsettling nature and with odd attributes to his moves that the original Peppino doesn’t. The player will need to grab into him twice before they can deal damage to him. |

Template:Basic Enemy Info (Better) Fake Peppino is the fourth boss of Pizza Tower.
Description
Fake Peppino is a being that bears a close resemblance to Peppino. He's much taller than Peppino with his elongated skinny legs. His head features Peppino's long nose, black hair and short black moustache with the unsettling additions of a loose eye and a permanent smile. He also, much like Peppino, wears a white apron over a black T-shirt, black pants and a white chef's hat. Additionally, in one of his boss fight attacks, he takes his head off like a mask, revealing nothing but a brain with eyes.
Boss Room
To access the boss room, the player needs to pay Mr. Stick 220$, or 22 Toppins.
The room is a gritty, trash-filled, and dilapidated pizza place, seemingly called "Peppino's Pizza 2" based on the window, which has a Peppino-like face making an Italian expression on it. The other thing to note is the giant wall mural of an amusing caricature of Peppino in a proper chef's suit, holding a pizza and saying "Nothing Compares!". As Peppino enters the boss fight, Fake Peppino turns around and makes a similar, but distorted "scared" scream.
During the second phase, the background becomes more demented, changing to have what is presumably Fake Peppino clones' appearing from the garbage and cracks in the walls, the window's face distorts to become similar to Fake Peppino's face, with the message changing to "Peppino Peppino Peppino Peppino", each one getting smaller. The wall mural's face distorts to become similar to the one in the window, with its original message changed to gibberish.
During the chase sequence, the stage is a dark setting with a black and dark purple color scheme. After the chase sequence, the exterior of the stage is shown, apparently being called "Bruno Pizza", which is as rundown, if not more, as the initial boss stage, and boarded up, with several strange posters and signs on it. Fake Peppino's eyes and hands can be seen through the boarded-up door.
