Fake Peppino

Fake Peppino is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Fake Peppino is possibly an evil clone of Peppino that tries to kill him. He's much taller and his left eye seems to fall off. The rest of his appearance is identical to his counterpart, also adding a permanent smile during all of his animations.

Aside from this, his origins are much more a mystery.

Behaviour

Fake Peppino only appears during Pizza Time.

His moveset is inspired directly from the real Peppino. He will chase and try to grab Peppino or Noise to strike them with his toxic tongue. He always chases after the player and will follow them into any rooms they go into, so there's no way to hide from him.

Fake Peppino also appears in Peppino's Xmas Break as a decoration for Strongcold. In it, he wears what appears to be a Santa hat while ringing a bell in his hand, with a bucket near him, appearing to be homeless and asking for change, likely a nod to how the levels he appears in are not found the in the current demo.

Usages

In the GOLF demo

As a secret keybind, the player can press F9 to summon a Fake Peppino at their location. They will try to attack the player and hinder their escape.

Restored

Fake Peppino appears during the escape, just like in GOLF. The player can be attacked by him 5 times until they die. On the fifth hit, any Toppins will switch to their panicked animation.

Early 2020 Patreon Demos

If loaded into the game using hacks, Fake Peppino acts the same as he did since GOLF, expect getting grabbed and tongued by him even once causes the player to die instead of only getting hurt.
