Ninja Slice

Template:Basic Enemy Info (Better) Ninja Slice is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Ninja Slice is a cheese pizza slice with light brown arms and legs. It wears a ninja mask, gloves and shoes, all in red. It has a fierce look and is often seen in a fighting stance when not disguised. Ninja Slices occasionally appear with different mask and glove colors, such as purple, pink, blue, or orange, corresponding with the color of Pizza Boy it disguised as. This is purely cosmetic.

Ninja Slice sometimes can also release a flurry of punches instead of kicks, which fires a series of projectiles.

Behaviour

Ninja Slice disguises itself as a Pizza Boy cutout, being provoked when the player gets close. It will initially jump at the player with a high-reaching uppercut attack. From there, Ninja Slice will take to the ground in fighting stance, stepping forward or backward to keep a set distance between it and the player, and releasing a flurry of kicks from time to time. Ninja Slice's can drop off of platforms while it attempts to keep its distance, which may cause it to inadvertently fall into hazards such as water.

Trivia

Ninja Slice may be a reference to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
- This is made even more likely due to the fact that the first two levels they appear in are the The Pig City level and the Oh Shit! level.
Originally, after jumping out at the player, Ninja Slice would start to chase after the player while holding out its two pizza cutters. It would also tend to jump again when near the player during chasing.
The way a Ninja Slice disguises as a Pizza Boy before attacking may be a reference to superheroes tending to be secret identities of ordinary people.
