— 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. Those being Mushroom Toppins, Cheese Toppins, Tomato Toppins, Sausage Toppins, and Pineapple Toppins.

Behaviour

The player has to save them from cages. Upon saving a Toppin, the player is given 1000 points. The Toppins will also follow behind them in a line after being saved. 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.

Each Toppin contributes 10 dollars if collected for the first time, which 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.
In earlier drafts of the redesign, Cheese still had legs, Sausage had a hat, and Pineapple had a mouth.
The internal filename for them is "pizzakin". Referencing their prototype name.
