— Weenie (via Toppinbot).

Weenie is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Weenie is a sausage with legs wearing a fedora and smoking a cigar.

Behaviour

Weenie walks around and doesn't hurt upon contact.

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.

Trivia

Originally, when hit, Weenie was supposed to 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".
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.
- Smoked Weenies originally were the same color as normal Weenies. This was possibly changed to differentiate the two some more, and 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.
