'''Snick the Porcupine''' (simply referred to as '''Snick''') is a character in [[Pizza Tower]], as well as a [[SAGE 2019 Demo]] exclusive playable character.
==Description==
He also has a ghastly floating form (or possibly an evil doppelganger) named [[Snick.exe]], in reference to the popular Sonic creepypasta that he was based on. Snick.exe appears once Snick's Challenge becomes selectable. Once Snick's Challenge is beaten, you can play as the Snick in the demo by hitting a block in the Cowboy Task room. Hitting the block again allows you to switch back to Peppino, and vice versa.
Snick is a sharp purple porcupine with two small beady eyes, a snout reminiscent of a hedgehog, and a red and white pair of sneakers matching his cap. He has white-gloved arms that stay mostly hidden within his spikes.
Snick is a 1990's animal mascot akin to [https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog], though is described as much less popular. Despite this, he still holds his own expo in the form of the Snick Amateur Game Expo, abbreviated to SAGE, seen in his debut demo, a blatant reference to the Sonic Amateur Game Expo of which the SAGE 2019 Demo was a part of.
== Gameplay ==
When playing as Snick, the player automatically builds speed when walking, but pressing left while dashing nullifies it.
Unlike [[Peppino]], Snick finishes levels by touching a sign, spinning it around to reveal a picture of himself before striking a victory pose and making a peace sign with his right hand, a reference to how Sonic would finish the levels in his games.
== Abilities ==
Snick also has a doppelgänger known as [[Snick.exe]], an obvious reference to the infamous Sonic creepypasta, Sonic.exe. This being looks identical to Snick, though his eyes bleed and his posture is more upright.
=== '''Peelout''' ===
The dash button makes Snick use the same Super Peelout ability that Sonic can use in Sonic CD, letting him reach top speed in an extremely short time and without building speed first.
==Main Abilities==
=== '''Super Jump''' ===
Snick is unlocked as a playable character in the SAGE 2019 Demo when the player finishes [[Snick's Challenge]] for the first time. A block will spawn in the Cowboy Task room that, when hit from below, will switch the player's character from Peppino to Snick and vice versa.
Same as Peppino & The Noise's Super Jump, but looks completely different - he briefly transforms into Electric Snick, in reference to Super Sonic, and flies straight upwards until he hits a ceiling.
When playing as Snick, the player has can fit through small gaps with ease without holding the down button. Snick also can automatically build speed when walking, but pressing the opposite direction while dashing nullifies it. Pressing the dash button stops Snick in place, commencing a peelout for however long the button is held. During a peelout, Snick gains Mach speed without having to move before launching forward when it's done. A peelout cannot be done right next to a wall. Most of his other abilities are near identical to Peppino's.
=== '''Automatic Dash''' ===
Moving Snick makes him automatically gain momentum in walking.
Unlike Peppino, Snick has his Pizza Points be onion rings instead of pizza toppings, these toppings work similarly to how rings work in the ''Sonic'' games. If Snick is damaged with no points, he falls off-screen and the [[List of levels|level]] must be restarted.
=== '''Height and Ducking''' ===
Due to Snick's height, he is able to traverse through short spaces where Peppino and The Noise would have to duck or roll.
==Transformations==
==Transformations==
''See also: [[Transformations/Pre-release]]''
Along with his basic move set, Snick has the ability to transform in a variety of ways for different purposes just like Peppino. Only four transformations for Snick existed, as he was never developed further. All of the transformations listed were what the original ones where at the time.
=== '''Armor Snick''' ===
Same as Knight Peppino & Noise. Instead of gaining a suit of knight armor, Snick becomes a robot, in reference to Mecha Sonic from the Sonic series. Armor Snick uses rocket shoes to move, and spring legs to jump.
<table class="wikitable">
=== '''Bomb Snick''' ===

Snick holds the bomb by simply touching it and can move around freely. Bomb Snick works the same as Bomb Peppino & The Noise.
As Snick is unable to duck, this transformation can only happen when he gets kicked by a [[Pepperoni Goblin]]. Snick transforms into a ball similar to Sonic when he rolls or jump.

* Even though he's playable in the SAGE 2019 Demo, his playable status was removed in later demos, due to having to be cut for The Noise to work. It is currently unknown if he'll be playable in the final game, but according to Pizza Tower Guy he is very low priority right now, so it is likely that he won't be playable in the final game unless it happens very late into the game's development.
* During gameplay, Snick collects donuts, which are similar to rings, which are what <s>Sonic</s> a familiar blue hedgehog collects.
* Despite being a porcupine, Snick has a more defined snout that is similar to a Hedgehog's.
* Hacking in and beating [[Pizzascare]] as Snick will take you to the [[SAGE 2019 Demo]] hub.
* Unlike Peppino and The Noise, Snick finishes the levels by touching a sign, spinning it around to reveal a picture of himself. Snick then strikes a victory pose and makes a peace sign with his right hand. This is in reference to how Sonic finishes a zone in most of his games.
