Toppins

"Toppins are uhhhhh... Little Bitches"
— Toppinbot.

Toppins are characters and collectibles in Pizza Tower.

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; Mushroom Toppins, Cheese Toppins, Tomato Toppins, Sausage Toppins, and Pineapple Toppins.

Behavior

Toppins can be found trapped in cages throughout the levels. Upon saving a Toppin, the player is given 1000 points. After being saved, they will constantly follow the player. Each Toppin will taunt alongside Peppino.

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 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 boss fights. There are 95 Toppins in total, but only 86 of them are needed to beat the game.

Trivia

• The Sausage, Tomato and Pineapple Toppins are based on enemies' designs - Peasanto, Smoked Weenie and Pineacool.
• The Mushroom Toppin, while not based on an enemy, seems to be based on the Big Mushrooms from Gnome Forest.
  • It also resembles the Mushroom Ghost.
• In earlier drafts of the redesign, Cheese still had legs, Sausage had a hat, and Pineapple had a mouth.
• Their internal filename is "pizzakin", referencing their prototype name.
• The Cheese Toppin had two holes and legs in older versions.
• The Pineapple Toppin lacked sunglasses in older versions.
• The Toppins are most likely inspired by the Spritelings from Wario World
