The Vigilante
Information
Aliases	Cowboy Cheeseslime
Relatives	John E. Cheese
Affiliation	Peppino's Aquaintance?

The Vigilante, also known as Cowboy Cheeseslime is one of the playable characters in Pizza Tower. Like the Noise, he has an original moveset. Unlike the other 2 playable characters, he has a health system and does not use transformations at all.

Description

The Vigilante is a Cheeseslime wearing a cowboy hat. He is the grandson of John E. Cheese, the former owner of the Farm level, which he now owns. During the events of the main story, The Noise wrecks his farm and takes over it, leaving his family to be homeless, which lead him to become very angry and grudgeful. This then leads him to go on a quest to get revenge and repair his farm by finding various farm materials.

Main Abilities

Dash

The Vigilante grows boots and starts running. Unlike Peppino's dash, he cannot reach Mach 3 or 4

Shoe Kick

The Vigilante's equivalent to Peppino and The Noise's slide attacks, where he grows boots and kicks forward.

Bomb Throw

The Vigilante grows a hand and throws a stick of dynamite that explodes after a short period of time.

Bomb Jump:

If The Vigilante touches a stick of dynamite he throws out, it will explode and he will jump very high, similarly to a super jump. However, unlike a normal super jump, The Vigilante has more horizontal control when using it. The downside to bomb jumping is that The Vigilante will lose health from the explosion.

Gun

The Vigilante grows a hand and can shoot bullets from his gun at enemies, similarly to Peppino's gun in the GOLF Demo.

Ground Pound

Like the other two playable characters, The Vigilante can ground pound, but instead of using his body to slam down onto the ground, he grows a hand and punches straight downward with his fist.

Taunt

The Vigilante can taunt like the other two playable characters, but he will look very angry at the player for making him do so. Because of this, he cannot super taunt, meaning he can't screen wipe with a taunt.

Trivia

• The Vigilante, then known as Cowboy Cheeseslime, was originally created as a mod for Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch. PTG was feeling tired of drawing Peppino, so he opted to do a Cheeseslime with a cowboy hat instead. He ended up liking him enough to make him an important character in the main game.

• Before it was revealed that The Vigilante would be a playable character, Pizza Tower Guy had been teasing a third playable character for around a week in the Discord server with a picture showing 4 possible characters it could be, those being Gustavo, Pepperman, Snick, or The Vigilante, then known as Cowboy Cheeseslime, and gave various hints to who it could be. These hints included:
  • Already exists in Pizza Tower lore
  • Angry
  • Inspired by an old actor
  • A band that's relevant still has a popular song relating to the actor and/or character
    • The "inspired by an old actor" hint refers to Clint Eastwood, while the "band that's still relevant" in question is Gorillaz.
  • Doesn't play video games
