Taxi

Taxi is an object in Pizza Tower.

Description

Taxi is a regular yellow taxi with a large white flashing sign reading "TAXI" in black.

Stop Sign is a regular white stop sign with red borders and red text reading "STOP". It is held by a faded blue holed metal support.

In Deep-Dish 9, Taxi takes form of a grey Space Shuttle with red parts.

Behaviour

When the player presses up while in front of a Taxi, they will be driven to its corresponding Stop Sign somewhere within the level. Stop Signs cannot be used to retrieve a Taxi.

Trivia

In older demos, Taxis worked identically to Teleporter Pizzas, driving the player on touch to a corresponding Stop Sign in the room. When the Teleporter Pizza was created, all Taxis in previous levels were replaced with Teleporter Pizzas most likely because they're faster as they do not play any sort of animation. This change lead to Taxis mostly being used to transport the player to somewhere outside the room they're in or to a specific point in a level that must be gone through multiple times.
The rockets are likely a reference to similar rockets found in Super Mario Bros 2.
