The fact that Fake Peppino and Peppino clones use frog-like attacks could be a reference to how in Jurassic Park the dinosaurs were made by filling the gaps in their DNA with frog DNA
17:32 Another thing to note is Peppino’s animatronic form is playing the accordion. Pasqually the chef from Chuck E Cheese used to play the accordion in the late 70s and throughout the 80s as his main instrument, but then concept unification happened and he became a drummer
Oh my God, i had no idea about Snick's existence, and the fact he references some of my favorite YTPMV's just makes him even better! Snick deserves a P R O M O T I O N
Ngl, it's a bit sad that your Pizza Tower videos are mostly popular more because the game is currently on fire right now than because your videos are well made (which they are). You deserve more views and subscribers man, I can feel the passion behind your videos and your words.
I really appreciate you saying that, it's been rough making my way on this site, but I keep going cause it GENUINELY makes me so happy Being recognized for that makes it so worth it, hopefully in the future my other content will get as much attention as Pizza Tower too
I agree with this assessment. It’s def the popularity, but I’m hoping the exposure can help him garner a couple hundred, thousandish more subs for his other stuff with the quality. We will see.
@@TheGameShelf the pizza tower community is different and majority will gladly check out what other content you have rather than subbing cause "ooo me like this" a similar thing happened with my channel (although not quite successful and deserving as yours XD) Just do what you want and be passionate and i hope your fans will keep your back 👍
There are a couple references in the level treasures you didn’t cover Most obviously, the Pizzascare treasure is a giant turkey leg on a plate similar to the wall meat you find in the Castlevania games Then there’s the Pig City one which has layers, it’s an onigiri 🍙 that appears to have jelly coming out of it. Which is a pretty clear reference to the US translation of the Pokemon anime referring to them as “jelly donuts”. This also works because of 1. The stereotype of cops loving donuts, and 2. Because many elements in Pig City were pulled from a martial arts-themed stage in the demos called “kung fu”. As I said, that one has layers lol
Dang I love that they reference the best anime dubbing company 4Kids 😂. But I love that. NYC has lots of donuts and is a cultural melting pot so makes sense we would be represented with “Jelly filled donuts”. Even though I think Pig City is like Hey Arnold’s city which isn’t a big reference to any city in particular
9:21 last i heard, Pizza Tower originally started its life as a horror themed RPG starring peppino, which probably explains where Fake Peppino comes from, so i feel this could be a remnant of that idea, having one of the monsters try to mimic one of Peppino's friends to get closer to him
tbh you are a underrated youtuber you need more recognition from people than what you currently have, quality content and ideas from you is what many people should expect from this channel.
That's so kind of you to say, ngl I've been struggling a lot these past 5 years to make it to where I want to be, and even though I'm not there yet, it makes me happy to see progress and see nice people recognize what I've done so far, makes it all worth it ngl Once again, thank you!
I love just how varied the references are all across the 90s and then some. The snick gameplay looks cool and I didn't know anything about this game's history, so thanks for the history lesson
It's crazy how I get a majority of them, and yet I wasn't even alive yet in the 90's. Just goes to show how powerful the nostalgia cycle is. (Or how "born in the wrong generation" I am, as well)
As a RUclips Poop creator, I ALWAYS dig when people reference the medium. Even if it's surface level 'Spadinner' jokes. (Though, if anyone referenced cs188, DaThings, or even me in their indie game, I'd go crazy happy for it)
10:24 in more modern kirb games with this mechanic, Metakight will actually look at the player from over his shoulder if the player don't pick the sword immediately (and he would even get pissed off if you take way too much time).
Also, speaking of Vigi, not a single mention of Clint Eastwood? It's like the most obvious aspect of Vigilante (to the point McPig announced him by referencing the song Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz)
Nice Video. On the Title card for Golf, the Quote: "He´s gonna need a bigger club" is a reference to the Quote from the movie Jaws: "We need a bigger boat"
Its huge to see references to Metroid and Street Fighter in these games. Particularly references that enhance the overall experience. Stuff like parries, screw attacks, after images, they are really satisfying and should be staples in more stylish games like this.
Come to think of it, there’s probably some references in the parry anims too. One of the parry anims where pepino makes a claw sort of gesture down low reminds me of the shoto's low parry animation from SF3
Another reference: If you hurt Gustavo (or peppino, I don't remember) enough times, the monitor will display a person eerily similar in appearance to Gustavo fring from breaking bad.
11:58 You forgot to mention that fake pepino is a reference to "fake crash" from the crash bandicoot series. Who was made by Cortex as a failed clone of crash.
IT'S SO GOOD SEEING A VIDEO OF YOU GET THE LOVE IT DESERVES Hopefully it'll expand to your other works cause not only Pizza Tower deserves the attention, but your other videos too!
17:37 I am from Germany and I can say that Oktoberfest is "the most well-known but most cringey celebration of the country"... the fest is just drunk people and overpriced drinks. A few people see it important because of tradition, mostly from Bavaria.
God, i love reference videos, and i find fun the Pizza Tower content, the more i see about PT, the more i want to play Great video overall, i just share this video with a friend who just got into Pizza tower recently :)
2:24 His squashed animation for the super jump also reminds me of Wario Land 3, where the robot enemy with a hammer would flatten Wario into a spring, allowing him to jump much higher vertically.
HOLY SNIK ON A STICK I HAD NEVER SEEN THAT HEDGEHOG'S TAUNTS BEFORE! That's SUCH a sick reference! Been a fan of iteachvader's stuff for *years* now, so it's so special to see it referenced in someplace I didn't expect! Interestingly, a part of me feels like Peppino's white and black color palette may have been inspired by Wario's sprites for Wario Land 3... not 100% sure about it, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me at this point.
I'll be honest, the 3d jumpscare animations would have made the Don't Make a Sound Level way scarier than with the final jumpscares. (the final ones feel more like a joke jumpscare)
Not sure if this was all mentioned in the bosses video, but The Noise's boss fight seems to pay homage to The Noid's own platforming game: Yo! Noid. In that game you could find different vehicles in some of the levels, like a skateboard and a pogo stick, both used by The Noise in this game. I think both were in the commercials too. I also can't help but to think that Noisette is a reference to Minnie Mouse and other old cartoon characters whose designs consisted on just taking the main male character and giving them stereotypically female attributes
Layering on the Rick reference, the max speed dash with Gustavo and Brick references Kirby's Dream Land 2 and 3 when Kirby and Rick have the Rock ability, where Rick turns into a boulder and Kirby walks on top of him to move them around (great combo btw)
11:23 well, actually the laugh in the background is the same laugh of headless horsemen from "the adventure of ichabod and mr toad", this is so specific and I know it only from pizza tower review made by one Russian guy
15:32 i think golf title card is also a reference to the game hotline miami 1 specifically the second boss "biker" when before he starts attacking you he says "you're dead meat" and then you pick up a golf club
MrPig is living the dream. A popular-but-not-TOO-popular indie game that is genuinely fun and awesome, and referencing a ton of different things that brought its inspiration. I'd do this exact thing if I ever made a lighthearted indie game. References all over the place to games, cartoons, etc. that I love and/or grew up with, no matter how obscure.
15:55 Another song that MIGHT have a reference is Pizzascare’s “There is a bone in my spaghetti”, which could be a reference to Undertale and in the song itself there are possibly references if I am not overthinking.
I love how everytime you show a taunt you play the taunt sfx, even when you show the YTPMV you can still barely hear it It's some nice attention to detail
Sometimes, the Vigilante Will using ability where he hops into the air while shooting a barrage of small projectiles from his gun, down onto his enemies. This could be a reference to Kernel corn's ability, "Husk Hop" from Plants vs Zombies garden warfare 2 (He does it right here: 10:07)
Fun Fact: In this part of the song 11:51, I THINK that it's supposed to sound like The Noise's Theme/Anthem, which might be true, but I'm not exactly sure, you can find out yourself.
Here is a reference that i dont see people talking about: when you find a john gutter cleaner, a sheep _baaa_ plays, which is a reference to Cult of the Lamb where you recruit other cultists with different beliefs and convert them to your cult.
I got an impression where the intro animation is an homage to Don Quijote, the old dude that became crazy and thought he was a knight. I don't know, the pizza man gives me windmill giant vibes...
13:59 GETAWAY GETAWAY SUBMARINE! SKYDIVING! OUT OF A WINDOW! JUST WIN THE RACE! JUST WIN THE RACE! JUST WIN! JUST WIN! JUST WIN THE RACE! OH BOY! I'M GONNA HAVE ME SOME HEDGEHOG STEW IN THE AFTERNOON!
2:52 the SPD reference I prefer to see it as a wario world reference since in that game Wario can SPD a stunned enemy and you have to use it a lot to access some rooms. Amazing video as always dude 😁
I think the one where Gustavo and brick are standing next to each other smiling eith their thumbs up is actually a mario and donkey kong bonding reference
14:54 Dr. Bad Breakfast actually makes appearance in Don't Make A Sound, you can see one of arcade machines is named after him, and it's a reference to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine game
another subtle reference you missed out is regarding the art used in the door for the pepperman boss fight; being it holds similar qualities to Aphex twin's "Richard d james album" showing a clear reference to it. Just something neat i picked up 😊😊
One "reference" I know of that you missed is that the "Spaghetti" motif in Pizzascape/Pizzascare seems to share some similarities with the theme of Greenhorn Forest, the most iconic theme of Wario World. Also, "Bites the Crust" from The Pig City borrows a sound byte from Vela-Nova, the Sonic vs Blaze boss theme from Sonic Rush.
The "And this... is my gun on a stick." achievement feels like a Team Fortress 2 reference, where in the video "Meet the Heavy", Heavy says: "I am heavy weapons guy, and this... is my weapon."
You forgot "Cube Menace" the achievement obtained by destroying the mort cube. It's a reference to mort's home game, where the enemies are all cubes
DAMN YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT ON THAT ONE
Only 1 reply?
The golf level was back then a April fools joke but then turned to an actual level in the game
That's actually some useful info if I ever make a sequel to my April Fools video I released not too long ago
Also, Pizzascare been Halloween build, but turns to level
“ *Y O U ‘ R E D E A D M E A T* “
@@Tetaxkep "YOU REDEAD MEAT"
Call me crazy but i think the "you're dead meat" is a Hotline Miami reference
The fact that Fake Peppino and Peppino clones use frog-like attacks could be a reference to how in Jurassic Park the dinosaurs were made by filling the gaps in their DNA with frog DNA
That's an incredibly deep cut reference if true, and also explains the one thing that I was the most confused about in the game.
I kinda feel that it’s a reference to SA-X due to it kinda taking a monsterous frog like form when critical health
I also noticed this
It's most apparent in the dive attack
Did you know that fake peppino was bassed on fake mario on a paper mario game?
@@Randombambifan2 No, I've never played Paper Mario. Does that Fake Mario have some kind of frog characteristic?
17:32 Another thing to note is Peppino’s animatronic form is playing the accordion. Pasqually the chef from Chuck E Cheese used to play the accordion in the late 70s and throughout the 80s as his main instrument, but then concept unification happened and he became a drummer
7:52 The way Brick and Gustavo stand in this picture is literally the most thug-gangster ass-shit like holy hell it's so badass

Just do what you want and be passionate and i hope your fans will keep your back 👍
There are a couple references in the level treasures you didn’t cover
Most obviously, the Pizzascare treasure is a giant turkey leg on a plate similar to the wall meat you find in the Castlevania games
Then there’s the Pig City one which has layers, it’s an onigiri 🍙 that appears to have jelly coming out of it. Which is a pretty clear reference to the US translation of the Pokemon anime referring to them as “jelly donuts”. This also works because of 1. The stereotype of cops loving donuts, and 2. Because many elements in Pig City were pulled from a martial arts-themed stage in the demos called “kung fu”. As I said, that one has layers lol
Dang I love that they reference the best anime dubbing company 4Kids 😂. But I love that. NYC has lots of donuts and is a cultural melting pot so makes sense we would be represented with “Jelly filled donuts”. Even though I think Pig City is like Hey Arnold’s city which isn’t a big reference to any city in particular
@@KKHell to my understanding, pig city and the chinese city were different stages until they were fused
@@impossiblehanley2732 Yep, you can even notice were the remains of Kung Fu level start, 'cause it became the Gus & Brick section.
Also when you get hit 10 times the TV shows a reference to Rodney Dangerfield
Also the Final Boss being quite based on Ronald McDonald Insanity. To the point where early versions iirc use the music
The name of the achievement "There Can Be Only One" itself is also a reference to Highlander, so that one is a double reference
9:21 last i heard, Pizza Tower originally started its life as a horror themed RPG starring peppino, which probably explains where Fake Peppino comes from, so i feel this could be a remnant of that idea, having one of the monsters try to mimic one of Peppino's friends to get closer to him
14:06 I love those Robotnik ytp songs so much, I can't believe that they had references to them. Lol

Once again, thank you!
@@TheGameShelf Well glad to see your gaining more popularity from people this year. Probably the biggest achievement for you and your channel
20:13 not expecting you to say that, ya made me laugh
The mechanic of rescuing toppins from little cages is directly inspired from the Rayman series.
19:13 finally someone mentions the pogchamp lmao, made me laugh when I saw it do that the first time
I love just how varied the references are all across the 90s and then some. The snick gameplay looks cool and I didn't know anything about this game's history, so thanks for the history lesson
It's crazy how I get a majority of them, and yet I wasn't even alive yet in the 90's. Just goes to show how powerful the nostalgia cycle is. (Or how "born in the wrong generation" I am, as well)
I like the detail of you wearing a tank top over your shirt to recreate Peppino’s outfit
I also did that in the bosses video, now that's gonna be my official outfit lol
Just need a chef hat
Snick referencing iteachvader's music is absolutely GENIUS. Shame they didn't keep him, but understandable. Still, absolutely genius
As a RUclips Poop creator, I ALWAYS dig when people reference the medium. Even if it's surface level 'Spadinner' jokes. (Though, if anyone referenced cs188, DaThings, or even me in their indie game, I'd go crazy happy for it)
The title card for Gustavo and Brick at 6:39 is a reference to the Itchy And Scratchy Show title card in the Simpsons
17:01 they were actually scrapped for the sake of keeping the artstyle consistent.
I'm surprised he didn't pick up on beta gustavo at 9:05, where when he goes towards Peppino, it looks like the sonic.exe chasing pose
10:24 in more modern kirb games with this mechanic, Metakight will actually look at the player from over his shoulder if the player don't pick the sword immediately (and he would even get pissed off if you take way too much time).
Also, speaking of Vigi, not a single mention of Clint Eastwood? It's like the most obvious aspect of Vigilante (to the point McPig announced him by referencing the song Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz)
In the last one he even kicks the sword away if you take so much time
Nice Video. On the Title card for Golf, the Quote: "He´s gonna need a bigger club" is a reference to the Quote from the movie Jaws: "We need a bigger boat"
20:05 fun fact, the baron and demon share the same back muscle sprite so the amalgimated demon pig makes it an accidental double reference
Crazy that they made an entire country based off Pizza Tower. That's a real esster egg.
ALSO YEAAAHHH VSAUCE JOEYYYYYY YEAAHHH
Watch out or some Guido will hit you with the ol gabagooie
I heard they made an entire leaning building after the pizza tower
I'm from Italy, i confirm everything

IT'S SO GOOD SEEING A VIDEO OF YOU GET THE LOVE IT DESERVES
Hopefully it'll expand to your other works cause not only Pizza Tower deserves the attention, but your other videos too!

1. you deserve more viewers
2. thank you for publishing the mostly positive ltdl rations on your channel!
5:52 holding up a sword, getting hit by lightning & changing is probably a reference to He-Man.
17:47
Spherical moment
I canNOT get enough of your pizza tower videos haha. Your other stuff is fantastic too and is painfully underrated
18:15 not to mention the eggplant which was also used in Ice Climber
I'll be honest, the 3d jumpscare animations would have made the Don't Make a Sound Level way scarier than with the final jumpscares. (the final ones feel more like a joke jumpscare)
Not sure if this was all mentioned in the bosses video, but The Noise's boss fight seems to pay homage to The Noid's own platforming game: Yo! Noid.

Noisette seems to primarily be inspired by Amy Rose
Layering on the Rick reference, the max speed dash with Gustavo and Brick references Kirby's Dream Land 2 and 3 when Kirby and Rick have the Rock ability, where Rick turns into a boulder and Kirby walks on top of him to move them around (great combo btw)
20:34 In one of the levels of Wario Land 4 there was an enemy pig who drew you enemies, just like Fake Santa

14:36 tails doll is a offical sonic character from sonic r

15:55 Another song that MIGHT have a reference is Pizzascare’s “There is a bone in my spaghetti”, which could be a reference to Undertale and in the song itself there are possibly references if I am not overthinking.
I think it has smth to do with hot&cold spaghetti, and that a bone in your food is pretty scary.
18:52 When you thought nothing can be worse than pineapple on pizza…
Wow, I love pizza tower and I didn't know like half of these. This was a really fun video!
I love how everytime you show a taunt you play the taunt sfx, even when you show the YTPMV you can still barely hear it
It's some nice attention to detail
This guy makes some good content, honestly deserves more subs.
Sometimes, the Vigilante Will using ability where he hops into the air while shooting a barrage of small projectiles from his gun, down onto his enemies. This could be a reference to Kernel corn's ability, "Husk Hop" from Plants vs Zombies garden warfare 2
(He does it right here: 10:07)
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE BRO CONGRATS
1:52 This taunt could also be a reference to Daniel Bryan from WWE, where he points 2 Fingers in the air, and yells *YES!!!*
4:10 "oh man i wonder what this references to-"
*_"WHAT THE FU-"_*
Fun Fact: In this part of the song 11:51, I THINK that it's supposed to sound like The Noise's Theme/Anthem, which might be true, but I'm not exactly sure, you can find out yourself.
Here is a reference that i dont see people talking about:
when you find a john gutter cleaner, a sheep _baaa_ plays, which is a reference to Cult of the Lamb where you recruit other cultists with different beliefs and convert them to your cult.
19:18 Kentucky Kenny might actually be a reference to rocky rococo, a pizza restaurant that features many posters that resemble famous movies.
Also the game as the best intro ever. That song instantly gets me hyped.
12:56
I think the missing poster is a reference to the Mighty and Ray missing poster from Sonic Generations.
In the noise update. In phase 3 of pizza heads boss fight noise literally goes super
1:43 About time someone noticed and talked about this
I got an impression where the intro animation is an homage to Don Quijote, the old dude that became crazy and thought he was a knight.
I don't know, the pizza man gives me windmill giant vibes...
5:21
"che vuoi?" means "what do you want?" in italian
*The More You Know☆*
The On-Off switches in one of the later levels with pink and purple faces are a reference to the Scary Jerma meme
16:53 that could be used as a cool peppino transformation
You forgot to mention that when pepperman gets hit, his face is a reference to Enel’s goofy face in One piece.
Ok. This is the video that got me to sub. Always love useless trivia and references 🥰
Thank you! You won't be disappointed by the other content that I have!
Great video, happy to have helped out!
ITALY CAMPEAO DO MUNDO
But really, thanks for your help friend, genuinely appreciate it
I also think that Swedish Monkey's sprite when you stun him is a reference to how sometimes DK is seen stretching his eyes
3:48 as soon as I saw that taunt in gameplay footage, I knew exactly what it was referencing.
13:59 GETAWAY GETAWAY SUBMARINE! SKYDIVING! OUT OF A WINDOW! JUST WIN THE RACE! JUST WIN THE RACE! JUST WIN! JUST WIN! JUST WIN THE RACE! OH BOY! I'M GONNA HAVE ME SOME HEDGEHOG STEW IN THE AFTERNOON!
18:07 while the art indeed references the Terminator, the quote itself, "There can be only one", comes from the Highlander movie.
THE PIZZA SHELF IS BACK WITH ANOTHER BANGER!!!!!
17:36 this is a referance to the medic from tf2 saying oktober fest when doing the kritscrieg taunt
The « Spherical » achievement art might be a reference to the Sonic 3 Blue Spheres…
Damn he really liked the Sonic series
I though the same
Also the image of peppino in the golf title card is a reference to the biker from hotline miami
7:38 This actually isn't a misconception. Someone from Nintendo who worked on SMW said that Mario was actually punching Yoshi
Shigefumi Hino, the guy who designed the sprite.
And that it used to have a more violent sound effect to it.
2:52 the SPD reference I prefer to see it as a wario world reference since in that game Wario can SPD a stunned enemy and you have to use it a lot to access some rooms.
Amazing video as always dude 😁
Oh yeah! I forgot Wario also had that move in WW, guess my mind was so focused on Zangief because of the double lariat Gustavo does
Taunt sound effect is similar to a sound from Savage Garden's song " I want you " (Jojo part 4 ending). It's on around 2:30.
ruclips.net/video/HQt6jIKNwgU/видео.html
Also, the intro animation might have references to One Piece and JJBA. And the art style reminds me about Cow & Chicken series.
I think the one where Gustavo and brick are standing next to each other smiling eith their thumbs up is actually a mario and donkey kong bonding reference

14:54 Dr. Bad Breakfast actually makes appearance in Don't Make A Sound, you can see one of arcade machines is named after him, and it's a reference to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine game
The name of the arcade is Dr.Bad breakfast’s Mad Doodad Machine if you’re curious.Just found that out while I wanted to decorate a stage in CYOP.

The "And this... is my gun on a stick." achievement feels like a Team Fortress 2 reference, where in the video "Meet the Heavy", Heavy says: "I am heavy weapons guy, and this... is my weapon."
Reference he forgot: in pig city the secret treasure is a onigiri full of jelly a little nod to pokemon

6:59 well I'm pretty sure the full phrase is "I'm gonna kill you... With kindness😃"
