Grandpa Pepper is a secret character in Pizza Tower.

Description

Grandpa Pepper is an old yellow pepper with arms and legs wearing a blue outfit and slippers that rocks around in a rocking chair. His eyes are often seen closed.

Behavior

Grandpa Pepper rocks in place on his rocking chair. Grandpa Pepper punches the player with a comically large fist upon getting close to him. He's located only in The Pig City's hidden area in the beginning of the level, in a path inside a hole in a wall. Getting hit by him for the first time grants the player the Itchy Sweater outfit. Grandpa cannot be defeated by Peppino, though unused behaviour exists that allows the Knight and Ghost transformations to do so; The Noise, on the other hand, is able to do so.

Trivia

• Originally, Grandpa Pepper would have the behaviour of the Stupid Rat or Enemy Block.
• Before the game's release, Grandpa Pepper was supposed to be an enemy in the scrapped Mansion level, being unkillable from every attack bar thrown enemies.
  • Later, Grandpa Pepper was reused for Wasteyard in PT_Eggplantv15, where he would instead be killable only with the Ghost transformation.
• Grandpa Pepper is the only enemy in the game that can hit Peppino through invincibility frames.
• Using a super taunt on Grandpa Pepper causes defeat particles to fly out of him, but doesn't actually defeat him.
• If the player uses the Debug Console to give Peppino the Knight or Ghost transformation, he can be actually killed and his death sprite will be shown.
  • It is also possible to defeat Grandpa Pepper with the Ghost transformation by touching him after collecting 3 ghost peppers.
  • When touching him while riding a Weenie Mount or having the Spicy Pepper Pizza, his punching animation will play, but Peppino won't be hurt. However, ditching the Weenie Mount will cause Peppino to get hurt.
