'''Toppins''' are characters and collectibles in [[Pizza Tower]].
== Description ==
== Description ==
Toppins are small pizza topping-shaped creatures. Each of them have unique designs. There are five different kinds of Toppins, each being based off a different pizza topping. Those being Mushroom Toppins, Cheese Toppins, Tomato Toppins, Sausage Toppins, and Pineapple Toppins. Toppinsofthesamekind can also combine to create [[Toppin Warriors]], whicharemuch stronger than normal Toppins and are an important factor in boss fights.
Toppins are small pizza topping-shaped creatures. There are five different kinds of Toppins, each being based off of a different pizza topping; Mushroom Toppins, Cheese Toppins, Tomato Toppins, Sausage Toppins, and Pineapple Toppins. They each have unique designs, as well:
* The Mushroom Toppin is a brown mushroom with exaggerated, googly eyes.
== Behaviour ==
* The Cheese Toppin is a block of cheese with eyes on top and no legs, unlike the others. The Cheese Toppin has a mouth which can be seen by taunting.
The player has to save them from [[Pizza Box]]es. Upon saving a Toppin, the player is given 1000 [[Pizza Points|points]]. The Toppins will also follow behind them in a line after being saved. Toppins are counted as a collectible, and appear under a stage's score when selecting a stage. Missing Toppins are black, while collected toppins can be fully seen. The Toppins wear scuba masks when underwater.
* The Tomato Toppin is a tomato with a big red nose (akin to that of a clown), tired eyes and green shoes.
* The Sausage Toppin is a brown sausage with a resting grumpy face and a unibrow.
* The Pineapple Toppin is a pineapple with black sunglasses and white shoes. It is also one of the Toppins which have a mouth, which can only be seen while taunting (Same as cheese toppin).
== Trivia ==
== Behavior ==
Toppins can be found trapped in cages throughout the levels. Upon saving a Toppin, the player is given 1000 [[Pizza Points|points]]. After being saved, they will follow behind the player until the end of the level. Each Toppin will taunt alongside [[Peppino]].
* The Sausage, Tomato and Pineapple Toppins are based on enemies' designs - [[Peasanto]], [[Weenie#Smoked Weenie|Smoked Weenie]] and [[Pineacool]].
*In earlier drafts of the redesign, Cheese had legs, Sausage had a hat, and Pineapple had a mouth.
* The Sausage Toppin was originally red in early demos, but was changed to be brown because people thought it looked like ketchup or something else (it also may be to contrast itself from the tomato toppin, which is already red).
* In older demos, Toppins could be fed to [[Pillar John]]. After feeding it enough Toppins, he will let you pass through. [[Pillar John]] now activates [[Pizza Time]] upon defeat instead, and as such, the purpose of the Toppins was changed as well.
* Back in some builds, the pause screen showed what Toppins were collected, and which ones needed to be saved. They also weren't trapped in Pizza Boxes, but instead found around the level on their own. The Pizza Boxes instead held complete pizzas.
* The Toppins originally had a panicking animation that they used to use in older demos for getting fed to Pillar John or running away after the player gets hit while the Toppins are following them.
* In [[Pizza Tower: Peppino's Xmas Break|Peppino's Xmas Break]], the Toppins have exclusive sprites made by wazzuper25. Each Toppin is Christmas-themed, with the Mushroom Toppin being replaced with a Tree, the Cheese Toppin being replaced by a Gift, the Tomato Toppin being replaced by a Snowball, the Sausage Toppin being replaced by Ham, and the Pineapple Toppin being replaced by a Candy Cane.
** For unknown reason, Snowball's Toppin's being collected animation does not exist in game. Instead, their running animation is used instead.
* The internal filename for them is "pizzakin". Referencing their prototype name.
Toppins are counted as a collectible, and will run around the level's gate if the player beats the level with them. They will also be seen during the [[Ranks|rank screen]]. When collected for the first time, each Toppin contributes 10 dollars to the player's savings. This money needs to be paid to [[Mr. Stick]] to enter [[List of bosses|boss fights]]. There are 95 Toppins in total, but only 86 of them are needed to beat the game.

** Its taunt where is wears purple, star-shaped sunglasses is a reference to concept art in which a Pineacool can be seen wearing these same shades.
**Its taunt where it is riding a jetsurf is another reference to concept art of the Pineacool, this time it is riding on the same jetsurf.
**It's taunt where it looks at the camera and gives a large, menacing grin is a reference to a cut mechanic where the Pineapple Toppin would become the [[Toppin Monsters#Pineapple Monster|Pineapple Toppin Monster]]. This animation would play shortly before it does just that.
