Thats Peppino's, The world famous motto of the clone is obviously "FRTXJPLHCBATTZRDIHJPS!". I mean cmon, Its the catchphrase he says in every commercial.

@@honeymushroom6283 I presume that they nerfed its speed. Originally the boss' had a rubber band like speed resulting in it being roughly just offscreen the entire time until you bonked on a wall. The best way to deal with it was to just walk instead since the results would just be the same either way except now you could properly react to what's coming up. Here, Crayola leaves it completely in the dust while when I did roughly the same I barely escaped by the skin of my teeth.
@@someguy70 Pretty sure when the game released, Fake Peppino’s speed nearly mimicked whatever speed you were going, making it very difficult to try and outrun him even though he was just a bit slower.
Imagine being Fake Peppino here. You're a failed clone trying to cope with the fact you're never as good as the real deal, and when the man himself shows up and you're given a chance to show your talent, he beats your ass and proceeds to run away from you faster than you can blink
No bosses actually get beaten. -Pepperman is in the next floor, making graffiti od his perspective of the battle. -Vigilante chills in Noisette's cafe (secret room) -Noise is in the laundry room (secret), sitting and seemingly riding a jumping laundry machine. To sum it up, every boss after beating goes to the next floor.
What gets me about Fake Peppino is how much the game DOESN'T go into him. You don't defeat him, you run away from him and even when you do, he's still peeking from inside the door. He doesn't make any other appearances in the hub unlike the other bosses, he's hidden away in the intro, his icon for the chef task is just pure black, and we're just left with the assumption that he probably works at this barred up Bruno restaurant which has clones (oh yeah he has clones, just, as one does) lurking in every area along with trash bags with fucking body parts coming out of it.
fun fact: there is artwork (i think after the credits or something) of fake peppino and normal peppino both taking out the trash, staring at each other, with fake peppinos bag having limbs in it, which either means fake peppino works for peppino or fake peppino is working at his old resturant like you said and is using peppinos trash can for some reason
There are so many questions about it: is fake peppino a hivemind of every body part you see or are they separate and some of them so screwed up they can't even think properly? Why are some clones like humans and are some slugs like the one in the pizza box? Are they conscious at all? Why are there so many "successful" fake peppinos?
I like to think fake Peppino makes his pizzas just a little bit off: Not enough sauce Too many mushrooms Too much crust Pepperoni under the sauce It’s not enough to make you upset, it’s just… Wrong
@@LeGuardImperialis I thought it could be a cypher, maybe something simple like Cesar shift? because it looks like the words might’ve just been swapped around
this boss reminds me of the mob rats from mad rat dead in a way, with you being in a boxed space with a shit ton of things doing overwhelming patterns of the same move
Of you listen closely to the soundtrack at @2:53, you can hear fake Peppino yell "*PEPPINO, COME BACK HERE. NOW!*". Just to garner how PISSED this character is.
Mildly unnerving and I like that. The direct cartoon inspirations of this game's aesthetic were also known to have an episode or two (or three) where something eerily crazy stood out amongst it's already batshit insanity. It would be weird to not have a stage or boss like this when I think about it.
Shoutout to Fake Peppino's design and animations specifically. Aside from the whole "oh this some weird melty thing wearing skin like a mask" vibe, I'm picking up some hints of bugs and amphibians. Dude hops around like a frog, and his legs look like they're segmented. And yet, all he wants is to be acknowledged as The Real Deal, and ultimately seems excited about everything, be it fighting against or allying with the guy he's supposed to be a clone of. He's silly and terrifying at the same time, love that for him.
What we're all seeing here is a wacky little game schooling every single indie horror FNAF wannabe in terms of sheer creepiness. Peppino having to face multiple, oozing, dripping clones of himself, only to have to outrun a horrifically mutated version of himself, and executed with both a feeling of existential dread and goofy, cartoony fun? THIS is how it's done, people.
I like how at 1:47 the background changes, these are the changes i saw: -"Nothing Compares!" Man now looks fake n stuff, and also has spam for the speech. -"Peppino's Pizza...2?" Now just says "Peppino peppino" and the icon is deformed. -Theres a hand sticking out of the garbage bag -Theres a face sticking out of the pizza box -Theres eyes outside the boards -Theres a leg coming out of the other garbage bag that has a bone originally. -Theres a leg coming out of the background in the top left corner Tell me if you see anything else.
I like how Fake Peppino's moveset isn't a straight upgrade over yours. If he superjumps into the ceiling, he dissolves, and there's a limit to how high he can jump without that. Meaning while he has more offense, he's less mobile.
What I like about this fight is that at first the background is sorta normal. With two Peppino mascots one with a pizza mascot saying “nothing compares” and the other one next to a sign that says “Peppinos Pizza 2”. But when you make it to the second round the place distorts. Now the mascots look disturbed. There are body parts coming from the trash and in the pizza boxes. All the text on the signs is scrambled and someone watches through the walls as Peppino fights Fake Peppino
This boss is actually pretty easy when you learn his patterns and understand what is going on, but my god, the rng with the fake Peppinos in a row and throughout the second phase fucked me over so many times geesus
The fake fakes have darker clothes than the real fake. So if you wear dark clothes for the fight, you can easily lose track of the real fake in a sea of fake fake Peppinos.
Fun fact for those trying to speedrun. You can hit Fake Peppino while he's doing the mach run if you hit him from the back while he runs across the ground. It's tricky to do it without getting hit, but you can pull it off. I've done it a few times haha.
Fake peppino reminds me a lot of the broccoli abominations from season 3 of mob psycho 100, in the way that it seems even if you kill just 1 fake peppino there's infinitely more at the disposal of some larger, almost sentient mass of energy trying to get a shred of similarity to peppino
for some odd reason, i love this goofy yet uncanny looking gremlin more than anyone else in the game. maybe i'm just into freaky shapeshifting monsters or something.
@@TheRookFromChess personally he gives off the vibes of an initially terrifying abomination-like dude who's actually a big sweetheart beneath all that, and whose only goal at the end of the day is to try and fit in with everyone despite everything about him. i think the way you view him is just as cool tho.
I always loved the concept of the being that tried mimicking something but was just plain...*off* in it's approach, even creeping into body horror territory, sadly not many media does such a thing, either going for the shadow, evil self, or robot approach.
@@SulphurMind same bro. don't get me wrong, i'm all for the usual stuff that's thrown in, especially the robot stuff, but it does get a little tiring seeing the same thing sometimes. it'd be nice to see something like fake peppino in modern media someday. hell, if the chance of a pizza tower show (or at the very least a miniseries) was ever announced, i'd be jumping on the bandwagon to support it in a heartbeat just to see more of fake peppino.
@@SulphurMind Camoflauge. It's meant to look like something but it isn't perfect, even at its closest. Great for foliage, horrifying for something that looks like YOU.
This is the only boss aside from Pizzaface that I think is truly malevolent. Peppermans kind of inscrutable. The vigilante pursued his own ideas of justice, the noise is basically a prank channel on RUclips. Fake Peppino will gruesomely murder you and replace you, and psychologically break you while doing it. Even it’s screams when you hit it aren’t so much out of pain as they are a response to make you listen to your own voice in agony.
Something interesting I noticed: you can tell the real fake Peppino from his clones by the clothing. The clones wear a darker shade of what Peppino’s wearing(in this video’s case they’re gray while Peppino and fake Peppino wear white)
Fun Fact: while i was exhausted from p-ranking pizzascape i decided to try to Atleast get an A rank on Fake Peppino and one thing that made it 10% easier for myself and that was the frog jump attack on the first phase and i figured because the clones walk to you i decided to *stand still* and guess what they all missed and i got the A Rank
It's honestly creepy how nothing is explained about Fake Peppino. Even in a game with not a lot of story, there is NOTHING we know about Fake Peppino. Who is he? *What* is he? What is his connection to the pizza tower? Is he intentionally malicious or just some creature acting on instinct? Why does he happen to resemble Peppino? Does he have an admiration for Peppino or is it some sort of kill and replace thing? Where did Fake Peppino come from and why does he reside in this abandoned pizzeria? Is he some sort of demon, an alien parasite, an artificial life form made by Pizzahead, or something else entirely? For that matter, is Fake Peppino another pawn of Pizza face or is he some creature acting on his own volition? So many questions about Fake Peppino yet no answers. The game has minimal storytelling so we may never know for sure. I just find it terrifying how we don't know anything about Fake Peppino. At least the other bosses had some sort of established backstory or motive. Fake Peppino? Literally nothing is known about him. He's just... there.
I like this guy! I don't know what the whole deal with the fake Peppinos acting and sounding like frogs is, or why they seem to have been made in the War level where the also behave like frogs, but who cares Hehe fnuny italian goop man
He might not be the hardest penultimate boss, but his uncanny appearance and the theme song being a twisted version of Pizza Time is really what makes him a good boss nevertheless. I mean, everything about Fake Peppino is creepy especially since: - You don't actually defeat him, you ESCAPE him. - He forgets to reset his health bar for the second phase for a few moments, like it does not apply to him at all. - Before his boss fight, everything about him is kept hidden, even in the intro cut scene (His silhouette is there, but it's hard to tell who he is.) Not much is known about him even after being revealed. Like is he a clone from the WAR level, a cheeslime that was merged with Peppino's DNA to copy his pizza recipe, or is he a manifestation of the pizza tower, made from Peppino's fear of becoming part of a soulless corporate entity who only cares for the profit, not the food? Either way, I really like this boss.
That's true. It's creepy how the game, which doesn't have much of a plot to begin with, never elaborates much on Fake Peppino. What is he? Where did he come from? Why does he resemble Peppino? Is it a form of admiration or does he intend on killing and replacing the original? What is his connection to the clones from War? We know what the other bosses are and what they want. Fake Peppino? Nothing is known about this clone at all. There isn't even any foreshadowing to his existence. He just pops out of nowhere. To me, I like to see Fake Peppino as an allegorical character representing Peppino's fears. Specifically, his fears of expanding his restaurant to multiple chains to the point that it would become a hollow shell of what it once was. Just like how Fake Peppino is an imperfect clone
The only reason why you might think the visuals can overwhelm you is because you think that everything will not change for example, when clone peppino drops from the ceiling he hits the ground and you think that he can still damage you when he had touched the ground but the clones actually he changed are isn't able to deal damage when he hits the ground, if you know all of this, you have less to worry about and can focus much better
Just coming back and comparing chase sequences. can’t tell what is more challenging, this level geometry and the varying speed of FP, or the set speed value and wider corridors in the new version.
Maybe they are Bruno. Maybe Bruno was a rival to peppino and his pizzeria was closing down because peppinos pizzeria was getting more costumers than him, so he did something to himself that transformed him into this shapeshifter and make him be able to clone himself, and he did all that só he could replace peppino and become as famous as him
@@zerotheinfiltrator9318 yeah, but who knows, maybe he used to be famous? Or maybe Bruno was in such a bad state that even peppino's situation was better
It took me so many attempts to do this in my main save file that i had to wait until it got nerfed to do it. And then i P Ranked this on complete accident while doing my all treasures in under 2h 15m to get the John Suit. Funny how things work out sometimes.
Fake peppino can run machs beyond Pepinno's to the point where he can run across most surfaces, which implies that, if in regular form, fake peppino could easily outrun real peppino.
My fear of being chased made me book it through out the entire finale. I didn’t see the monster ONCE. All I knew was that something was chasing me.
First time I’ve seen a fear has been beneficial

The first nerf was removing Fake peppino's rubberband that kept him on screen, allowing for mach running to actually be viable
He does have rubber-banding up to a point. He can't keep up with Mach-3, but he does catch up shockingly fast if you can't keep your speed up.
Yeah I remember him easily keeping up with me when I played this stage and mach ran the whole way.

@@SulphurMind same bro. don't get me wrong, i'm all for the usual stuff that's thrown in, especially the robot stuff, but it does get a little tiring seeing the same thing sometimes. it'd be nice to see something like fake peppino in modern media someday. hell, if the chance of a pizza tower show (or at the very least a miniseries) was ever announced, i'd be jumping on the bandwagon to support it in a heartbeat just to see more of fake peppino.
@@SulphurMind Camoflauge. It's meant to look like something but it isn't perfect, even at its closest. Great for foliage, horrifying for something that looks like YOU.
have you ever seen john carpenter's the thing
He just got a little angry.Nothing to worry👌
I can't be the only one who finds peppinope to be really endearing. Hes just a weird lil guy with his lanky limbs
I misread the title of this video and thought fake popping was gonna prank ya.
1:52 what in the hell was that infernal fucking noise fake peppino made
A lower pitched version of Peppino's hurt scream, slightly modified too
@clementchuah6706 actually high pitched
Bro thinks he’s Peppino-
* Fake Peppino turns into his chase form *
It was a misinput, misinput! CALM DOWN! *YOU CALM THE FUCK DOWN!!!*
I have three sides.
Peppino.
Fake Peppino.
And That Guy.

This is the only boss aside from Pizzaface that I think is truly malevolent. Peppermans kind of inscrutable. The vigilante pursued his own ideas of justice, the noise is basically a prank channel on RUclips. Fake Peppino will gruesomely murder you and replace you, and psychologically break you while doing it. Even it’s screams when you hit it aren’t so much out of pain as they are a response to make you listen to your own voice in agony.
I like to think of him more like an animal or gir from invader zim
Even the areas on his floor reflect this too with them being more grittier
We are very original tbh
The chase scene terrified me so much I actually modded it out of the game
with all respect to you and your need to do this, I am legally obligated to say skill issue
how can you- he doesnt even appear- what
Just mach run, he will never catch up to you
@@nerou76 if you’re slow enough he can, they actually had to nerf him twice which is why he’s slow now
skissue
I like how the background changes during the fight
If I had to guess, Bruno was probably a previous victim of the tower, whose pizza place got absorbed into it. He probably got ate by Fake Bruno.
The fact that you dont defeat him,you ESCAPE him
"DO ENTER NOT INSIDE!"
Well, if you say so.
2:48 top ten anime chases
Something interesting I noticed: you can tell the real fake Peppino from his clones by the clothing. The clones wear a darker shade of what Peppino’s wearing(in this video’s case they’re gray while Peppino and fake Peppino wear white)
Yeah so Dark Cook is just “guess the peppino”
Fun Fact: while i was exhausted from p-ranking pizzascape i decided to try to Atleast get an A rank on Fake Peppino and one thing that made it 10% easier for myself and that was the frog jump attack on the first phase and i figured because the clones walk to you i decided to *stand still* and guess what they all missed and i got the A Rank

That guy

this was the easiest boss to p rank for me, vigilante the hardest lmao
Vigilante limits your movement options by removing your grab, and spams projectiles, really annoying boss to deal with
ive p ranked the first 4 bosses and i gotta say, the noise was the hardest one to p rank, with the easiest being obviously pepperman
the vigilante is very easy to p rank in my opinion
Mario quivering in his shoes with a new contender
I CANT STOP LAUGHING AT THE THUMBNAIL BAHAHAH
It's honestly creepy how nothing is explained about Fake Peppino. Even in a game with not a lot of story, there is NOTHING we know about Fake Peppino. Who is he? *What* is he? What is his connection to the pizza tower? Is he intentionally malicious or just some creature acting on instinct? Why does he happen to resemble Peppino? Does he have an admiration for Peppino or is it some sort of kill and replace thing? Where did Fake Peppino come from and why does he reside in this abandoned pizzeria? Is he some sort of demon, an alien parasite, an artificial life form made by Pizzahead, or something else entirely? For that matter, is Fake Peppino another pawn of Pizza face or is he some creature acting on his own volition?
So many questions about Fake Peppino yet no answers. The game has minimal storytelling so we may never know for sure. I just find it terrifying how we don't know anything about Fake Peppino. At least the other bosses had some sort of established backstory or motive. Fake Peppino? Literally nothing is known about him. He's just... there.
disturbing fun fact : when fake peppino is behind the wooden bars things he can easily crush them down and kill us,he just lets us live.
What's the backstory behind Bruno Pizza?
We don't talk about him
@@This_Guy_Is_A_Doodle Really, an Encanto reference?
@@alexk8792 yes :)
fake pep wanted to have a restaurant too so he took an abandoned one
@@strangefishman7635 Makes sense.
*back to that guy*
I think this is when the dev team took all their drugs
You telling me pizzahead wasn't a more insane fight?
I like this guy! I don't know what the whole deal with the fake Peppinos acting and sounding like frogs is, or why they seem to have been made in the War level where the also behave like frogs, but who cares
Hehe fnuny italian goop man
He might not be the hardest penultimate boss, but his uncanny appearance and the theme song being a twisted version of Pizza Time is really what makes him a good boss nevertheless.
I mean, everything about Fake Peppino is creepy especially since:
- You don't actually defeat him, you ESCAPE him.
- He forgets to reset his health bar for the second phase for a few moments, like it does not apply to him at all.
- Before his boss fight, everything about him is kept hidden, even in the intro cut scene (His silhouette is there, but it's hard to tell who he is.)
Not much is known about him even after being revealed. Like is he a clone from the WAR level, a cheeslime that was merged with Peppino's DNA to copy his pizza recipe, or is he a manifestation of the pizza tower, made from Peppino's fear of becoming part of a soulless corporate entity who only cares for the profit, not the food?
Either way, I really like this boss.
That's true. It's creepy how the game, which doesn't have much of a plot to begin with, never elaborates much on Fake Peppino. What is he? Where did he come from? Why does he resemble Peppino? Is it a form of admiration or does he intend on killing and replacing the original? What is his connection to the clones from War? We know what the other bosses are and what they want. Fake Peppino? Nothing is known about this clone at all. There isn't even any foreshadowing to his existence. He just pops out of nowhere.
To me, I like to see Fake Peppino as an allegorical character representing Peppino's fears. Specifically, his fears of expanding his restaurant to multiple chains to the point that it would become a hollow shell of what it once was. Just like how Fake Peppino is an imperfect clone
He sugarcoated it.
How I run in a chase in my dreams: Falling, stumbling
How I’d run irl: 2:49
The only reason why you might think the visuals can overwhelm you is because you think that everything will not change for example, when clone peppino drops from the ceiling he hits the ground and you think that he can still damage you when he had touched the ground but the clones actually he changed are isn't able to deal damage when he hits the ground, if you know all of this, you have less to worry about and can focus much better
Pushin 3:29
Just coming back and comparing chase sequences. can’t tell what is more challenging, this level geometry and the varying speed of FP, or the set speed value and wider corridors in the new version.
definitely the old version, in the new version is onscreen for 1 second and then never shows up again
Who made the fake Peppinos, I wonder. They are so many and many of them were failures too.
Bruno make them or it's something else entirely? Hmm
Maybe they are Bruno.
Maybe Bruno was a rival to peppino and his pizzeria was closing down because peppinos pizzeria was getting more costumers than him, so he did something to himself that transformed him into this shapeshifter and make him be able to clone himself, and he did all that só he could replace peppino and become as famous as him
@@comicsans-br4vu Wasn't Peppino struggling with finance in the intro cutscene?
@@zerotheinfiltrator9318 yeah, but who knows, maybe he used to be famous? Or maybe Bruno was in such a bad state that even peppino's situation was better
@@comicsans-br4vu Makes sense.
@@zerotheinfiltrator9318 bro only had an fly on his wallet💀
Rank P means Rank Peppino
It took me so many attempts to do this in my main save file that i had to wait until it got nerfed to do it.
And then i P Ranked this on complete accident while doing my all treasures in under 2h 15m to get the John Suit.
Funny how things work out sometimes.
Fake peppino can run machs beyond Pepinno's to the point where he can run across most surfaces, which implies that, if in regular form, fake peppino could easily outrun real peppino.

NoThInG cOmPaReS!
Due to the thumbnail I thought this was gonna be some sort of P Rank of a playable Fake Peppino in Gnome Forest
I like how unlike the previous bosses, Peppino technically doesn't beat Fake Peppino, he just manages to escape from him.
AMOGUS 3:23
We don't talk about Bruno...
"PEPPINO COME OVER HERE NOW" 2:54
"Hey guys!"
"UUUUUUUHHHH-"
"I has- I mean have a new restaurant."
"It's called Peppino's Pezza 2!!1!"
"I'm totally the real Peppino."
my dude plays touhou
For the second gray attack, just stand still in the middle
*bro didn't sugarcoat it once!*
