Transformations are special abilities and moves given to the player in Pizza Tower upon certain interactions with enemies and objects. Most transformations can be used to destroy Stupid Rats and are cured by interacting with a Priest, taking damage, Getting into the Secret Eye, using noclip with the Debug Console, or Interacting with a Dash Pad; the only exceptions are the Shotgun (Metal Detector), Revolver (Pizzaface and Pizzahead's Phase Transition), and Pepper Pizza. (Free Milk Stand)

The transformation ends after 10 seconds. The player can leave the room during the transformation by hitting the top of the right wall and continuously jumping to maneuver Peppino into the hole.

Trivia[]

  • Several of these transformations bear a striking resemblance to those in the Wario Land series, a major source of inspiration during Pizza Tower's development.
    • The Knight transformation functions similarly to Snowman Wario, with some resemblance to Fat Wario as well.
    • The Bomb transformation was likely based on Flaming Wario. Earlytestbuild even had its music play when activated.
    • The Firebutt transformation is somewhat similar to Electric Wario from Wario Land 3. It's unclear whether this was an intentional reference or merely a coincidence.
    • The Ghost transformation is similar to Bat Wario from Wario Land 4, and Vampire Wario's bat form from Wario Land 3.
    • The Barrel transformation was initially similar to Snowman Wario, but its final version is very different.
    • The Cheeseball transformation is similar to Frozen Wario and Ball o' String Wario.
    • Peppino's Boxed transformation is visually similar to Flat Wario, but is closer to Tiny Wario from Wario Land II in terms of function.
    • Peppino's Boxed transformation also bears a striking resemblance and functionality to Flywrench from Super Meat Boy.
      • The Noise under this transformation appears to be conceptually identical to Tiny Wario.
    • The Sticky Cheese transformation is similar to Zombie Wario.
    • The Ball transformation is not based on a transformation, but rather Wario's Roll move from Wario Land 4.
      • In addition, Peppino's super jump functions similarly to both Flat Wario and Spring Wario, for aiming the jump and launching into the air respectively.
  • The Barrel transformation was the first transformation made for the game, originally being made during the development of Preearlytestbuild.
  • The sprites when Peppino jumps in the Boxed transformation, along with the flapping mechanism, are likely a reference to Flywrench.
  • There were many unused transformations that were used as leaks in earlier demos.
  • The Shotgun's HUD animation appears to be a nod to Duke Nukem. This is more apparent in Patreon builds pre-dating April 2021, where upon picking up either the Shotgun or Sausage Minigun (Peppino and The Noise respectively), Peppino can be seen in the TV quoting the Duke Nukem meme Dick Kickem.
  • The Animatronic Peppino was originally planned to have unique abilities rather than being strictly a hinderance.
  • The Revolver ability was inspired by Donald Duck's gun in the game Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow.
  • The Knight transformation was originally going to be obtained by getting zapped by a Pizzard.
  • In older builds, the Knight transformation would end by crashing into the wall or colliding with spikes.
  • In Sticky Cheese form, Peppino's pepperoni eyes and green pepper facial hair cause him to resemble Pizzaface.
  • Boxed transformation is erroneously spelled "Boxxed" in the Chef Task room.
  • So far, there's a total of 17 transformations available in the final game.
  • Despite being called “pistol” in the files, the Revolver is clearly what its name is; a revolver. This is more obvious as charging up a large Peppino bullet shows 6 rounds being loaded into the firearm, something a pistol can’t do.
  • The Revolver ability is the only transformation that is exclusive to Peppino.
