'''The Vigilante''' is the second [[List of bosses|boss]] in ''[[Pizza Tower]]''.
==Description==
==Description==
The CockSlime is a [[Cheeseslime]] wearing a cowboy hat and having a huge cock. He is the grandson of [[John E. Cheese|Jhon E. Cum]], the former owner of [[Fun Farm]], which he now owns. He was apparently tricked by [[Pizzaface|Pizzaslut]] into thinking Peppino is a wanted criminal using forgery, leading to his fight at the [[Western District]].

The room is a stage play-like arena, made out of painted wood with desert-themed cutouts, and with the background being a painted wall of the Tower. As [[Peppino]] enters the boss fight, The Cockslime looks at a "wanted" poster with Peppino on it.

=== Main Gimmick of the Fight ===
=== Main Gimmick of the Vigilante ===
The Cockslime hands Peppino a pistol to use for the whole fight. This replaces the grab and can rapidly fire bullets or be charged for a giant, stronger bullet. However, the stronger bullet gets shot immediately after being charged, so the player needs to wait for the right moment to use it. The pistol is the player's only means of damaging The Vigilante, as he does not leave himself open for any other attacks.

However, when the player is playing as [[The Noise]], The Vigilante does not hand him a pistol, and he can be damaged at anytime with Noise Bombs.
Regular shots can take one of The Vigilante's HP in 8 shots. The stronger shot deals 6 damage out of 8 required.

The Vigilante is a Cheeseslime wearing a cowboy hat and boots. He is the grandson of John E. Cheese, the former owner of Fun Farm, which he now owns. He was apparently tricked by Pizzaface into thinking Peppino is a wanted criminal using forgery, leading to his fight at the Western District.
Boss Room
To access the boss room, the player needs to pay Mr. Stick 150$, or 15 Toppins.
The room is a stage play-like arena, made out of painted wood with desert-themed cutouts, and with the background being a painted wall of the Tower. As Peppino enters the boss fight, The Vigilante looks at a "wanted" poster with Peppino on it.
During the second phase, the background changes to sunset and everything else is silhouetted.
Boss Fight
Main Gimmick of the Vigilante
The Vigilante hands Peppino a pistol to use for the whole fight. This replaces the grab and can rapidly fire bullets or be charged for a giant, stronger bullet. However, the stronger bullet gets shot immediately after being charged, so the player needs to wait for the right moment to use it. The pistol is the player's only means of damaging The Vigilante, as he does not leave himself open for any other attacks.
However, when the player is playing as The Noise, The Vigilante does not hand him a pistol, and he can be damaged at anytime with Noise Bombs.
Regular shots can take one of The Vigilante's HP in 8 shots. The stronger shot deals 6 damage out of 8 required.
Noise Bombs can take one of The Vigilante's HP in 2 shots.
Phase 1
After each hit, he changes his attack pattern:
Cheese Bullets (2); Dash and Dive Kick
Dynamite Toss (4 in first pattern, 3 in second and third patterns); Cheese Bullets (1 in first and third patterns, 2; Dash and Dive Kick (third pattern), then...
After each hit and some of the attacks, The Vigilante slides away from the player, making him temporarily invincible.
Cheese Bullets
The Vigilante fires his revolver at the player, firing cheesy bullets that the player needs to quickly jump over. As the fight progress, the bullets will come out faster and more will be fired.
Dash and Dive Kick
The Vigilante runs with his high cowboy boots then dive kicks low to the ground with the boots in front of him.
Cardboard Target
Occasionally, a large cardboard cutout of a cowboy will fall from the sky, creating a target for Peppino’s bullets or The Noise's bombs to hit. It also can act as a shield for The Vigilante, as the bullets only hit the cutout. It will be destroyed after 5 small bullets, or can be dispatched with one big bullet or bomb. For
Dynamite Toss
The Vigilante throws dynamite high into the air, exploding on contact with the ground. If the small explosion the dynamite creates touches the player it will hurt them, but not the dynamite sticks themselves. The amount of dynamite The Vigilante throws is random.
Bullet Spray
The Vigilante jumps high into the sky, firing a cheese Uzi towards the ground as he flies by.
Dead John E. Cheese
At 4 HP, The Vigilante's dead farmer grandfather, John E. Cheese, will start appearing through out the fight. John will slowly fly towards the player with a pitchfork, but can be dispatched by a single bullet.
Bazooka
The Vigilante jumps high into the air, and fires a bazooka towards the middle of the arena, creating an explosion on impact and a shockwave travelling outwards.
Flamethrower
The Vigilante slowly moves around the arena with a fire-spitting flamethrower.
Herd Call
The Vigilante calls up to drop a crate onto the stage. After the box drops, a cow spawns. The cow will bounce around the arena for a while, but can be taken down with bullets.
Phase 2
After getting hit 9 times, The Vigilante regenerates his HP back and his attacks become faster. The pattern of attacks is also different, relying mostly on singular attacks, rather than multiple:
Dynamite Toss
Dash and Dive Kick
Cheese Bullets
Dynamite Toss; Bazooka
Herd Call (only once); Flamethrower
Herd Call; Bullet Spray
Herd Call; Dash and Dive Kick
Cheese Bullets
Quick Draw Finale
After finishing the second phase, the Quick Draw duel starts. Once the word "DRAW" appears, the player needs to shoot The Vigilante for the final hit. The timer is not very strict, but if the player fails to do so, The Vigilante shoots Peppino first, and the last attack repeats. If the player shoots before "DRAW" appears, the result will be the same as if the timer ran out.
Boss Rematch
After beating the Final Boss' 2nd Phase, the villain will bring in the four previous boss characters, and sends each of them to attack. Despite each boss having 8 HP and extra 8 HP afterwards, 4 HP will be drained per hit. The player fights each of the bosses one by one, they use some of the same attacks as before. After defeating Pepperman, Gustavo will appear for the player to grab and throw him at the remaining 3 bosses to stun them.
The Vigilante is the second boss fought again. The player is forced to throw Gustavo at him, as they are not given a gun.
The Vigilante will attack in this order:
Dynamite Toss; Cheese Bullets; Dash and Dive Kick
Dynamite Toss; Cheese Bullets; Dash and Dive Kick
Bazooka; Dash and Dive Kick; Bullet Spray; Flamethrower
Dynamite Toss; Dash and Dive Kick
After 4 hits, The Vigilante will go down, and the player will face The Noise.
In The Bad, The Ugly, and The Even Uglier, he is the sheriff of a western town and is first seen while Pepperman was attacking the town. After Pepperman barges into his building and asks if he was the sheriff of the town, he quickly surrenders. Afterwards, he is seen tied up alongside the banker of the town while Pepperman and his troops were robbing the bank.
The Ugly Defeat The Vigilante without getting hurt.
