I once heard a really good descriptor for the first two songs: "It's Pizza Time!" is the theme song of trying to outrun certain death While "The Death That I Deservioli" is the theme song of _daring death to catch you if it can_
Pizza Time plays during the timed escape sequence. The game switches to frantic portion (10:54) when you're low on time, so the Mario comparison is a good example, though I guess it's more dynamic in this case.
@@BlackdragonTheShadow I don't remember Wario Land 4 having a frantic phase at the end, it just plays it until you hit 0 at which point it plays a very sad song as you lose your money.
All the escape themes just play out as time passes; there are no "low on time" transitions. Pizza Time plays during the regular escape and will play out until the player either escapes, enters the lap 2 portal, or runs out of time and gets caught by pizzaface. Death that I Deservioli plays during lap 2, and will play out fully until the player either leaves or gets caught by pizzaface, again. Some levels have very long escapes and its possible to get the songs to loop.
That earworm you pointed out in It's Pizza Time is a leitmotif that shows up damn near _everywhere._ Sauceman figured out _real_ quick that he had a hit on his hands and he put it to good use.
if u plan on doing more Pizza Tower videos, i highly recommend these songs -Cold Spaghetti (Pizzascape) -Oregano Desert -Bye Bye There! (Crumbling Tower of Pizza) -Unexpectancy 1 through 3 (9 minute song + its the final boss theme so spoiler warning)
When SPG's eyes go wide you know that you're in for an amazing track. I love SO MUCH when SPG goes into nostalgia and talks about how the influence of the past make new interesting songs today. I really feel like I learn something every time he makes a video! This is so awesome! But of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from the mega awesome SPG!
"It's Pizza Time" plays during the regular escape sequence, however there's an optional challenge known as Lap 2 where you can go through the escape a whole second time for a better rank, "The Death That I Deservioli" plays during Lap 2.
When I first heard these tracks I initially thought this ost wasn’t for me, but apparently i just didn’t listen long enough, these are very cool songs and i can see why they are so popular
it's worth noting that Death I Deservioli is also an escape theme alongside Pizza Time, Pizza Time being during the initial escape of fleeing back to the start of the level in like a three or so minute timer. Death I Deservioli plays if you decide to tempt fate and go for Lap 2, blasting your way through the level a second time with whatever's left on your clock, risking everything for that delicious P for Pizza. a Strong Escape Sequence for a loving Warioland-esque game
It's Pizza Time is sooo good, but TDTID just hits absolutely different in game. Jumping into that Lap 2 portal and seeing that "P" pop up instead of an S, noticing you might not have enough time to make it to the end before showtime, and the banging of that Lap 2 bell is just pure perfection for a P rank buildup. I genuinely couldn't think of a better track to fit that feeling of orderly chaos.
Your analysis on the soundtrack is spot on! I'm in game development and music is always one of the most fun moments of the production. Hearing you exemplify and review a soundtrack I immediately felt was prize worthy is inspiring. And your additional "notes" also rock!
If you're a fan of jazz fusion, I think you'd like the soundtrack to Breath of Fire 3. It has an interesting jazzy element to it that I dig. Especially the song To A Distant Place, the second overworld theme.
That section of It's Pizza Time where it gets really fast then winds down after a while reminds me a lot of how the PS1 rhythm game Vib-Ribbon liked to mess with tempo with the purpose of adding difficulty to the gameplay Particularly, it reminds me of the track "Overflowing Emotions", which similarly is mostly a pretty average and easy to follow tempo, until it hits a certain point, then it goes absolutely crazy
@@LionmightOfficial NP! If you do a part 2, I'd highly reccomend "Pumpin' Hot Stuff", "Pizza Time Never Ends" and "Unexpectancy" (all 3 parts of that last one in order ideally, they're all amazing)
Pizza Tower has so many great songs, so far my favourites are Calzonification, Hot Spaghetti, Cold Spaghetti, Thousand March, Way Of The Pig, of course It's Pizza Time and The Death That I Deservioli, Yeehaw Deliveryboy, Oregano Mirage, Pizza Deluxe, Unexpectancy (which is like 9 minutes long), Pumpin' Hot Stuff and Pepperman Strikes so yeah... i'm in love with the soundtrack
this was really engaging! love hearing you break down the parts of the songs, as someone trying to get into music production myself it feels really insightful!! for recommendations... i know you've done some touhou a long time ago, but if you havent, i think itd be really cool to see your reaction to "Secret God Matara ~ Hidden Star in All Seasons", "Memento of All Organisms ~ Memory of Fossil Energy", and "Where is that Bustling Marketplace Now? ~ Immemorial Marketeers" from 16, 17.5, and 18 respectively :)
you should give fast food saloon and unexpectancy a listen, I love how catchy the whistle is in fast food saloon, unexpectancy on the other hand, being the final boss battle theme, it’s amazing. Hopefully you make more videos reacting to the OST of pizza tower!
that's some genuine enjoyment I see from that smile and body movement. the entirety of Pizza Tower is chalk-full of bops and bangers and I highly recommend checking out the rest of the ost. I'm happy you decided to react to some of the songs, this is definitely my GOTY.
Each song in this game’s ost fits so well. They all have a reason, and it just flows. Either if you’re on the clock to get back to the entrance, or just relaxing in the stages. It all feels so good.
Tombstone Arizona and Thousand March are my favorite tracks from the game, but honestly the whole thing is just incredible from start to finish. You can't go wrong with any of it lol.
C'mon man, please tell me you even considered the ULTRAKILL sound track. Heaven Pierce Her (Arsi "Hakita" Patala) really puts their effort into their sound track and really makes them fit into the game and memerable.
I appreciate these videos and love hearing about the different themes, representation, and terminology. Thank you for articulating so well and the explanations on them too!
Its pretty crazy how all 3 of the songs are from the FIRST WORLD of Pizza Tower (It's Pizza Time: the theme that plays after you destroy the Pillar John. The Death that I Deservioli: the theme of Lap 2, the optional redo of the escape sequence. And of course Pepperman's theme aka the World 1 Boss)
I love the way Workman put it when describing It's Pizza Time! and The Death that I Deservioli in the comments of the latter: Lap 1: The theme of running for your life from certain death. Lap 2: The theme of daring Death to catch you if he can.
@@NovasNewGroove and also all 3 refrigerator-refrigerador-freezerator themes (Don't Preheat Your Oven Because If You Do The Song Won't Play, Celsius Troubles, and _(PLEASE THIS ONE-->)_ On the Rocks _(
the game is based on basically most media from the 90's, this being reflected in the art style (think ren & stimpy, courage the cowardly dog stuff). this is why you hear so many nostalgic things in this soundtrack! unfortunately i don't experience this since i didn't exist then ;-; also the vvvvvv soundtrack is a really cool modern chiptune ost i recommend it a lot
Damn, your strings were on point! Very well played! Like, it sounds like a metal violin, it's crazy! I've never heard or seen anything like it! It's really good!
Once the timer runs out, you get chased by a floating pizza with a face (named pizzaface, fittingly) who will kick you out of the level of he touches you
if you need some pizza tower OST recommendations, since you left out regular stage themes in this video, my top 5 in no particular order are: - Extraterrestrial Wahwahs - Tropical Crust - Tombstone Arizona - Thousand March - Way of the Pig
The death I deservioli is played when you dare to run though the course again for lap 2 with the remaining time left on the timer and daring the villain pizza face to catch you if he can
It’s worth mentioning that the game samples a ton of sounds from WarioLand 4, which itself was insanely impressive for sampling so many sound effects and cramming them all into one game boy advance cartridge. Game recognizes game.
Wonderful video! I’ve never heard of you before, but this video was extremely entertaining, I will certainly be coming back for more! I’m curious to see what you think of more music from pizza tower, such as “pizza deluxe” (the main menu theme),”pumpin hot stuff” (another boss theme), and “unexpectancy” parts 1, 2, and 3 (the final boss theme(
Honestly, The Death I Deserveolli, i get Wolf Mother: Joker and The Thief's opener before it goes into a retro speed rock, which i love that cause it fits the motive behind the song, youre inviting the danger by being daring with it, taking a second lap around the entire map with a very short timer.
If you want more Videogame music recommendations I recommend Super Paper Mario Mainly “Ready, Go!” “I’m not Nice” “Mr.L, green thunder” “Bro bot” “it’s show time” “champion of destruction” and “The Ultimate show”
If youre interested in more songs similar to pizza tower, there's two Id recommend which is Antonblast and sugary spire, anton is more wario-y like and sugary spire is like pizza tower but taking in a different take, both are in a state of demos but have some songs,
I wonder if you could do the Crosscode videogame soundtrack evaluation, got some interesting songs in the OST there. I haven't played pizzatower but i like the music for now and gameplay i've seen
I would love to see you do the yakuza series ost. As a guitar player, you'll really enjoy the soundtrack as it's got a lot of metal and grunge guitar mixed with techno with the occasional powerful orchestra and it sounds awesome. songs I would recommend would be: light and darkness(Ism), Yakuza 0 opening theme, Fly and Baka Mitai
I love the comparison I've seen one person make: It's Pizza Time: Running for your life because you're about to die The Death That I Deservioli: Daring death to catch you if it can
If you're looking for something that explores quite a variety of musical inspirations, I might suggest checking out Freedom Planet 1 and 2. Both have strong Sonic influence but you can hear cues taken from many other styles. In the first game they kept that musical whiplash of going from Act 1 to Act 2 similar to Sonic 3&K, with complete tone shifts like "mystery" to "discovery" while keeping the same melody in Relic Maze, in the second game the artist admitted she wanted to have sets of stages being self-referential with melody to themselves, but reworks had her drop that idea (although it can still be heard in parts such as in Avian Museum). I love the mood change from Western of Dragon Valley 1 from FP1 to Space Western of Dragon Valley in FP2, giving me a strong Cowboy bebop feel. *cough* sorry I'm just enthusiast about music.
Other than Pizza Time my other favourite is Thousand March from the level War and it’s so good. Especially in-game with it’s unique level gimmick of a constant count down instead of having to destroy Pillar John then run back. And in the level, the song doesn’t start till you pick up the shotgun (which you have to pick up to remove special blocks to start the level proper).
I'm thinking of a Theme Song for my OC of this game; My OC's name is Pinella Coconut and I'm thinking of naming her theme "Hawaiian Hope". The reasons for that is 1 Pinella is a Hawaiian captured by Pizzahead and Pizzaface, who destroyed her bar during war-time(Peppino found newspaper of it while fighting in war), and 2 she regained hope when Peppino, the MC of the game freed her from her cell. the song would have unexpectancy motifs and notes usually heard in luaus; plus the feeling that's similar to the feeling "Part of that World" from Disney's Little Mermaid gave. I would happily be in PURE JOY if at least 1 of my OCs appear in at least 1 game! though I wouldn't know how to send them the picture or description of my OCs headcanons. :( oh well; a girl can dream. :D
the thing about It's Pizza Time and The Death that I Deservioli, that i've seen among the community for Pizza Tower, is that "It's Pizza Time" is the theme of a man running from death, while "The Death That I Deservioli" only plays if you go BACK INTO the level, as sort of the game humoring you for having the audacity to *dare death to catch you if it can.*
This guy writes music like I try to (and wish I could). I feel like he's channeling a lot of the same music I like. 0:31 This opening sounds like Chris Hulsbeck. Especially with that delayed kick. A whole bunch of the synth-y atmosphere in this soundtrack reminds me of Hulsbeck. 7:10 Pizza Time is such an amalgamation of things that it would take an hour to disentangle the individual bits. At the same time it's wholly original. It's like the artists unraveled a bunch of sounds and ideas from 90s video games and then stitched them back together into an energic, loud theme suitable for the opening to a 90s cartoon. 8:20 The rave/techno scene used a lot of orch hits, though there's one particular one that was everywhere around the late 80s and early 90s. This isn't that sample, but the one you're probably thinking of is the "orch5" hit from the Fairlight sample library, but downpitched and layered with something. That sample is the one Konami used EVERYWHERE. Prime example: Turtles in Time for the SNES. It lives in my head because of the boss theme in that game. 14:21 You're more right than you know. This has a very, very heavy mid to late 90s Big Beat feel. Think the Prodigy, Propellerheads, Overseer, that sort of thing. That scene was grew out of the earlier rave and techno scene, and one of the notable differences was their choice of drug: While the ravers liked their "candy" (pills), the later scene was more fond of booze.

what I love about Pizza Time is that it always makes me feel panicked and tense, but never out of control or helpless in it.
its a tension with direction rather than feeling helpless.
which makes it more fun to blast through levels once you can ride that tension with confidence rather than wade through it with confusion

You should check out the Choo-Choo Charles OST. It's only like two or three tracks but the atmosphere is amazing
I really want to hear you play along with an entire song on the violin, you really supplement the song
The fact that the music is vibe when you are not getting chased by a FUCKING PIZZA
This cover NUTS! Thank you for sharing it with us!
very fitting the wario plush in the background
The OST has two themes
"I am going to die"
"You are all going to die"
If you're looking for something that explores quite a variety of musical inspirations, I might suggest checking out Freedom Planet 1 and 2. Both have strong Sonic influence but you can hear cues taken from many other styles. In the first game they kept that musical whiplash of going from Act 1 to Act 2 similar to Sonic 3&K, with complete tone shifts like "mystery" to "discovery" while keeping the same melody in Relic Maze, in the second game the artist admitted she wanted to have sets of stages being self-referential with melody to themselves, but reworks had her drop that idea (although it can still be heard in parts such as in Avian Museum). I love the mood change from Western of Dragon Valley 1 from FP1 to Space Western of Dragon Valley in FP2, giving me a strong Cowboy bebop feel.
*cough* sorry I'm just enthusiast about music.
I recommend listening to oregano marriage or oregano desert. It's amazing.
amazing violin performance btw!
Origano mirage is the song in origano desert (level) so its the same thing
The orchestral hit you got giddy about was also used mainlly in late 80's early 90's motown swing music made popular by New Edition.
Other than Pizza Time my other favourite is Thousand March from the level War and it’s so good. Especially in-game with it’s unique level gimmick of a constant count down instead of having to destroy Pillar John then run back. And in the level, the song doesn’t start till you pick up the shotgun (which you have to pick up to remove special blocks to start the level proper).
Pizza time 🍕
Great music once again 👍🏼
He did pizza time during a live stream. And it was amazing
PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS its also good
I love listening to this man play the violin. I could sit there and listen to his violin all day
this soundtrack has been stuck in my head for years, this game has come a long way and i love it so much
I'm thinking of a Theme Song for my OC of this game; My OC's name is Pinella Coconut and I'm thinking of naming her theme "Hawaiian Hope". The reasons for that is 1 Pinella is a Hawaiian captured by Pizzahead and Pizzaface, who destroyed her bar during war-time(Peppino found newspaper of it while fighting in war), and 2 she regained hope when Peppino, the MC of the game freed her from her cell. the song would have unexpectancy motifs and notes usually heard in luaus; plus the feeling that's similar to the feeling "Part of that World" from Disney's Little Mermaid gave. I would happily be in PURE JOY if at least 1 of my OCs appear in at least 1 game! though I wouldn't know how to send them the picture or description of my OCs headcanons. :( oh well; a girl can dream. :D
Not only did you give me new ways to appreciate that music but you ALSO played along on violin that's rad
I LOVE when you played with death I derserveoli
the thing about It's Pizza Time and The Death that I Deservioli, that i've seen among the community for Pizza Tower, is that "It's Pizza Time" is the theme of a man running from death, while "The Death That I Deservioli" only plays if you go BACK INTO the level, as sort of the game humoring you for having the audacity to *dare death to catch you if it can.*
Jazz Fusion! That's the name I was looking for! It's one of my favorites too, but I never knew what the name for it was!
This guy writes music like I try to (and wish I could). I feel like he's channeling a lot of the same music I like.
0:31 This opening sounds like Chris Hulsbeck. Especially with that delayed kick. A whole bunch of the synth-y atmosphere in this soundtrack reminds me of Hulsbeck.
7:10 Pizza Time is such an amalgamation of things that it would take an hour to disentangle the individual bits. At the same time it's wholly original. It's like the artists unraveled a bunch of sounds and ideas from 90s video games and then stitched them back together into an energic, loud theme suitable for the opening to a 90s cartoon.
8:20 The rave/techno scene used a lot of orch hits, though there's one particular one that was everywhere around the late 80s and early 90s. This isn't that sample, but the one you're probably thinking of is the "orch5" hit from the Fairlight sample library, but downpitched and layered with something. That sample is the one Konami used EVERYWHERE. Prime example: Turtles in Time for the SNES. It lives in my head because of the boss theme in that game.
14:21 You're more right than you know. This has a very, very heavy mid to late 90s Big Beat feel. Think the Prodigy, Propellerheads, Overseer, that sort of thing. That scene was grew out of the earlier rave and techno scene, and one of the notable differences was their choice of drug: While the ravers liked their "candy" (pills), the later scene was more fond of booze.
If you do a part 2 can you look at "Thousand March" and "Tunnely Shimbers" please?
dude i would love to see your reaction to the final boss theme for pizza tower / Unexpectancy
You really should listen to Calzonification, it's the 2nd world's boss theme and it's *amazing*
The death I diservioli is there definition of I am quite literally running late for work
