[[File:PT-Weenie_Elite.png|350px|right|thumb|[[Peppino]] getting attacked by a fist dropped from a red Weenie.]]
Weenie walks around and doesn't hurt upon contact.
Two variants of Weenie exist: a brown variant and a red variant. The brown variant, similarly to the [[Cheeseslime]], moves around and doesn't damage the player upon contact. The red Elite variant behaves similarly, but drops a can with "Whoop" written on it. This can releases a fist that moves towards the player's direction. The fist disappears after travelling a specific distance. Parrying the fist sends it in the opposite direction.

==Pre-release==
The red Elite variant behaves similarly, but drops a "Whoop" can upon death. Said can releases a homing fist that hurts the player upon contact. The fist can be parried, and it will disappear on its own after travelling a specific distance.
In [[Early Test Build]] and subsequent builds, the Weenie's behaviour is completely different, lacking any special abilities. The enemy cannot be killed and drops toppings worth 50 points when damaged by the player. The enemy will stand for a bit when appearing on screen or after taking damage, after which they'll start walking. The enemy can be stunned by dashing into it - which will send it rolling destroying [[Breakable Block|Breakable Blocks]] in its path, jumped onto or grabbed and thrown by pressing {{key|x}}. Holding any of the directional buttons down ({{key|up}} {{key|down}} {{key|left}} or {{key|right}}) allows the player to throw the enemy into any direction. Similarly in the final game, there's two variants, with the only exception that the brown variant - dubbed ''Smoked Weenie'' - smokes a lit cigar that can damage the player. Additionally, the Smoked Weenie was colored red in the version 1. The color was changed to brown in version 2 so the player could tell the difference between the two.
In [[Rework]], only red Weenies are present and played a significant role in driving the scrapped Meat Grinder mechanic. If the player encounters a Meat Grinder, they're supposed to take a Weenie with them and place them on top. Once done successfully, the Meat Grinder drops a (placeholder) Meat Block, allowing the player to progress further into the stage.

*The enemy's original name is ''Sausageman'', as seen by his leftover early object and sprite names. It's never been confirmed whether this name is a reference to Mr. Sauceman.
*The enemy's design is a leftover based on Peter from ''Weenie Cop'', with both characters wearing a hat and striking similar a resemblance in the eyes and hanging lip.

{{stub|Could still use some work:
* Originally, when hit, Weenie would roll into a ball, damaging anything that gets in its path until hitting a wall. After his ball form, he would be stunned, allowing for the player to grab him. If he isn't defeated after getting stunned, after getting up he would stand in place for a bit before going back to walking. He also would do this when first encountering him or when the player makes the ground shake. This would function if they put an object called "obj_weenie".
*Combine short sprites into one.
* Weenie originally had a second alternate variant, being the Smoked Weenie. Said variant would have a dangerous lit cigar that would hurt the player upon contact.
*Add sprites for the red variant under the regular header.}}
** Smoked Weenies originally were the same color as normal Weenies. This was possibly changed to differentiate the two some more. In the files of Demo 0, the Smoked Weenie is red.
* Weenie had full array of stun animations, but they were scrapped.
* Weenie used to be called "Mr. Sausageman", as seen by his filename, which could be a reference to the composer Mr. Sauceman.
* Weenie's design is based on Peter, the main character from an unfinished game that Pizza Tower Guy worked on before working on Pizza Tower known as ''Weenie Cop''.
* Weenie is also Pizza Tower Guy's 5$ Patreon tier.
* Weenie have most sprites than any enemies ever. This include his used sprites and unused sprites.
* During early design phases for the [[The Pig City]] level, it was planned that the [[Police Car]] enemy would only be summoned if the player defeated Weenie civilians that would appear throughout the level. As a civilian, Weenie would stand in place. However, later on this was changed so that defeating any enemy in the level would spawn the Police Car and the Weenies were removed due to them not being needed anymore.
* The Elite Weenie was originally the normal Weenie, lacking the cigar and any special abilities.
** Once defeated, Elite variants would drop a can with the word "Whoop" on it that would spawn a fist, this is likely a reference to the saying 'Open a can of whoop ass'.
*The Original Weenie seen in game is actually a reskinned version of the normal Weenie. This 'Original' variant drops the said 'Whoop' can upon defeat.
* In the rework build, Weenies could be killed by Meat Grinders.
