Pizzamart

From Pizza Tower Wiki

The Pizzamart is a store that was in the SAGE 2019 and Noise's Hardoween demos, with one being found in each level of those demos. Entering the mart will show the player how many pizza coins they have above their character, except in Noise's Hardoween. If they have 4+ coins in the SAGE demo, they are able to buy a shotgun, and in the case for Noise's Hardoween, a minigun can be found lying on the floor. The main reason why the minigun is free is most likely because the Pizzamart can only be entered after Pizza Time has started in said demo.

Since the SAGE Demo, the Pizzamarts and pizza coins have been removed from every level and instead a lone Pizzamart can be found in the Desert level which doesn't feature any items to buy, but is much bigger on the inside and has various enemies to defeat and collectibles to collect as well as a key to progress in the level.

The Guns

Shotgun

When the up and grab keys are pressed if a shotgun is equipped, Peppino will fire it, shooting 3 bullets in a triangular area. If the player as 8+ pizza coins, they are able to buy another shotgun, which will be displayed next to the HUD. Getting hit while holding a shotgun will cause it to drop, but not lose any points. If a back-up was brought, it'll be equipped right after, allowing for a double hit to be taken.

This also changes Peppino's grab to a shoulder bash.

Gatling Gun

When the same input is used, The Noise will rev up the Gatling gun, spreading bullets at a average rate, spreading around slowly, which is how the bullets work in real life. Unlike the shotgun, another one cannot be brought, so if the player get hit, it's lost forever until they re-enter the level.

Trivia

  • The Shotgun existed ever since Demo 1, but it had 15 shells, and only fired a single blast instead of three projectiles. Also, when it was collected, the game will say:

    "It's time to chew ass."

    • The TV on the HUD would display a character with this line resembling Duke Nukem. Duke famously borrows the line "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of gum." The line is originally from the movie They Live.
  • Cowboy Cheeseslime and the Pizzasonas, as PTG said, are the replacement of the Pizzamart, as they would give the player the shotgun and other goodies respectively.
  • The Cowboy Hat shown on the logo for the Pizzamart is similar to the one Peppino wears in the Cowboy Tasks.
