Stupid Rat

Template:BlockStupid Rats are characters and level assets in Pizza Tower.

Description

Stupid Rats are stupid, giant ceil-colored rats, with eyes looking at different directions. Its small version is the same, except for being square-shaped.

Pin Stupid Rats are similiar, but shaped like bowling pins with two pink stripes. These can also be small.

Behaviour

Stupid Rats block the way at certain parts in a level, and can only be defeated using transformations and projectiles (though not all of them work). Despite being more of a level asset, it adds to combos, similarly to enemies. Pin stupid rats can be destroyed with the ball transformation (unlike regular ones). Bumping into a Stupid Rat while grabbing or running will make the player slightly bounce off.
