WAR is the twenty third level in Pizza Tower, and the third level of Staff Only.

This level initially puts the player in an out-of-control battlefield, with the theme shifting to a secret laboratory which is overrun by Peppino Clones. Throughout the level, a bomb constantly ticks down whose timer has to be extended by destroying War Terminals.

The level's titlecard takes place in the battlefield, showing a closeup of Peppino's face as he screams in horror, while a grinning Peppino Clone wearing a helmet is running towards him.

Collectables

The first Toppin is in the second room, being on the floor on the left side after falling from the Rocket transformation.

The second Toppin is located in the fourth room, in the player's normal path.

The third Toppin is in an unskippable corridor in the room after the Cheese Toppin.

The fourth Toppin is in the first indoors room, right next to the Stupid Rat at the end of the room.

The final Toppin is in the fourth lab room, to the right of where the player enters the room in plain sight.

Gerome is located very close to the Cheese Toppin, standing on an elevated platform in plain sight. The door to the is visible on the player's path in the lab after the third secret, and is reached most easily by running up the wall with a target block on it.


Secrets

The first secret is in the room after the Tomato Toppin, in plain sight floating above a boost pad that sends the player backwards. In this secret, the player runs through Pizza Soldier armies.

The second secret is similarly placed to the first. It is out in the open above a boost pad in the room after the Sausage Toppin. In this secret, the player outruns Cardboard Tank shots.

The third secret is in the second lab room, visible out in the open directly after the Stupid Rat block. It can easily be reached with a wall run. In this secret, the player deals with a swarm of Peppino Clones.

Trivia

  • WAR's main mechanic was completely different earlier in development, with the level originally being on Pizza Time for its entirety. In the final release, the timer is now a unique mechanic that starts when the player grabs a shotgun, which makes this stage the only one without a Pillar John, as well as the only stage with a timer that can be replenished and which counts down even during secret areas.
    • Furthermore, it's the only level in the whole game to not play The Death That I Deservioli on Lap 2 (not including boss levels or The Crumbling Tower of Pizza which don't have Lap 2).
    • Also, because the timer is not based on Pizza Time, the score does not decrease every second.
  • Beating this level on the first attempt on the savefile grants the player War Camo outfit.
