I wish they didn't nerf the original escape sequence so much since release, it's not as impactful when you can easily get away from Fake Peppino at not even running speed

I don't like the fact that this boss's original version's chase sequence was so easy, making it hard would have impacted the boss so much, it especially would have added more tension while P ranking it. Oh well :/
I feel like out of all the bosses, while all of them would work well in Hollow Knight, the Vigilante would probably be the most interesting, since you wouldn’t have a gun to fight him with, but would still be able to damage him without help.
@@TheNorfAndOnly I haven't explored much of Hollow Knight despite owning the game, but I imagine there being weaponry that could help Hollow Knight if he ever comes across the Vigilante from Pizza Tower.
@@maxthompson7107 There aren’t any equippable weapons. The closest you get is augmenting your Vengeful Spirit with the Flukenest charm. You’re stuck with your nail and your spells for damaging the boss, leaving you mostly at just melee range.
As a Pizza Pranker I can confirm that the difficulty increase would turn this game from goofy to enraging. But making fake Peppe's chase scene harder is a welcoming change I wish was present in the real game
@@scrittle imo I feel like the fight was kind of underwhelming in terms of difficulty, but some people think the fight is hard and some think it's easy so idk.
@@derricksquared It's pretty hard until you notice it's linear. Phase 2 is actually a little challenging because there's RNG in all the madness, this mod bumps up the randomness from 1 to 11
The craziest part is that they weren’t. Hollow Knight is Unity and Pizza Tower is GameMaker, meaning the whole fight and everything associated with it (VFX, attack patterns, sound/music/animation triggers, code and functions, etc.) had to have been remade from scratch. The only exception is assets, which can be imported, but even then, there has to be unique code in order for those assets to appear in the same way and at the same time as they do in Pizza Tower. This guy is an absolute legend for pulling this off as accurately as he did.
I've been watching this (Pizza Tower) game months ago but i never expecting this mod in Hollow Knight, but it fits well. Edit : 02:28 love that background detail changed for phase 2, just like original game.
This is the most ambitious mod I've seen for this game yet, it stays true to the original Fake Peppino boss fight, while also respecting the mechanics of Hollow Knight. Really great job on this!
Extremely minor nitpick: Fake peppino is actually the only boss that won't recover from a stagger on their own, yet he does here. Aside from that, this is actually really good. Nice work!
This mode is amazing, some little things like the sounds and some other stuff like idk make the boss battle more like the pizza tower iteration and the mod would just be perfect
This is actually really good great job ( also I can't help but notice that you made the escape sequence actually kind of nerve wracking and scary compared to pizza tower where peppino can just Speedrun the entire thing and leave fake peppino ten yards away from him, yet again though I love both games)
I think if you hit fake pepinno a dreamnail, there would be text like: IM REAL ONE PEPPINO ONLY I AM PIZZA TIME PIZZA TIME PIZZA TIME PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS!!!
I think a _Hollow Knight_ counterpart to Fake Peppino would be a swarm of mites (or other tiny insects) under a cloak… maybe with a smiling mask like the False Monarch from _Bug Fables._
They actually managed to make the escape sequence difficulty balanced
I wish they didn't nerf the original escape sequence so much since release, it's not as impactful when you can easily get away from Fake Peppino at not even running speed
@@morphious86. they actually fixed it a while ago, now you genuinely have to book it out of there instead of him rubberbanding that hard.
@@morphious86. it was actually easier to walk from feppucino than to run in the older patch because of the rubberbanding
Dont spoil it for me! I will be at him tonight.

why are you watching pizza tower content while playing pizza tower
(yes ik this is hollow knight but fake peppino is in it so idk lol)
As a both pizza tower and hollow knight fan, this is a genius way to transfer the mechanics of feppino from pizza tower to Hollow Knight.
Finally I found someone else who calls him feppino
fappino
fapping no
@@sonicmariotoons i call him cappino because
cap peppino
and it almost sounds like cappuccino
Feppino
Just realized how absolutely Terrifying a chase sequence would be in hallow knight, bro that shit looked horrific
You would just use crystal dash
@@hollowknightenjoyer nah, it wouldnt work that good. Because you always have to go up and down, and it charges too slow
@@PlaneTheUhh the charge takes only around 2 second iirc, and its like 4 time faster than walking speed.
Use the dashmaster.
@@hollowknightenjoyer perhaps, but you'd have to stop every time you reached a wall, losing time.
I thought this was gonna be a half-baked reskin mod for Pizza Tower, but no this actually had a lot of effort put into it, this is sick as hell!
It's Mod for hollow knight
@@aPandesalboi I can tell. My little brother has Hollow Knight on his laptop.
Congrats on being noticed by the devs.
which devs
@@DeliriousPersona prolly hollow knight or pizza tower devs
@@moosesues8887 no shit sherlock
@@moosesues8887 Pizza Tower. They tweeted out this video.
@@DeliriousPersona obviously Pizza Tower dev. Hollow Knight devs are too busy working on Silksong to notice this. **Sniffs copium*
I was gonna say to not sugarcoat it
Til I realised that Hollow Knight's parry mechanic is more difficult to do than Pizza Tower's
You can barely even call it a MECHANIC, because you rarely use it.
@@mattgroening8872 It usually happens accidentally
Wait you can parry in hollow knight?
@@cataclysmusultimus basically, you dangerously clash your nail with an enemy's nail attack to avoid damage
T's a lot harder to do than it sounds and what the other comment says, it mostly happens by accident
aren't attacks that appear as white lines on the screen the only ones you can parry in hollow knight
its funny watching the sheer contrast between these art styles, one is cinematic and epic with energy beams and stuff, while the other is... pizza tower
Great work but I think you need to change Peppino's scream to fake peppino
Yeah, literally just the wrong scream
@@volnartheunforgiving3952 the definition of fake is copy someone
Or something
@@Give_riggy_a_raise_for_god fake peppino has his own scream in game
@@Give_riggy_a_raise_for_godThe guy who hasn't played the game:
That escape sequence must be a lot harder than the original without the ability to Mach Run!
Not a lot of places to pick up the pace in original either
And you could barely see the environment down there
I don't like the fact that this boss's original version's chase sequence was so easy, making it hard would have impacted the boss so much, it especially would have added more tension while P ranking it. Oh well :/
@@sirkduck6612 it used to be a lot harder with a lot of parts where you needed to crawl but it got nerfed
@@bigimp3018 That would've been fun to play through, still don't get why they nerfed it tho.

Love how the chase sequence does two damage to you if Fake Peppino catches you just like in the real game
Imagine how crazy it would be if you could play as peppino in Hollow Night.
Sequence break hell, aside from crystal dash areas as that might just be impossible
the game would be finally good

Very impressive!
This is so well made, can’t wait to see Ghost vs The Noise.

The Godhome transition right after the Pizza Tower boss jingle was top notch
i absolutely love crossover boss fights, using mechanics from both franchises
im now convinced that both games were made with the same engine because of this

Damn, as far as I can tell it's as if you brought the actual code and assets and everything into Hollow Knight. Well done.
Such a cool idea! Now I really want to see what it looks like with the other bosses!
The Vigilante will be the hardest because you can't cheese him anymore
@@scrittle and your probably right
@@scrittle I see what you did there with the *cheese*
2:17 interesting timming with the music lol
Now we just need to see peppino fight Nosk
"Bugs in the Kitchen?! Special guest: The Knight"
Now I want this in actual Hollow Knight so I have a reason to play it
This is my aesthetic. Genuinely. This reminds me so much of I Wanna Be the Guy fan games, I’m not kidding.
This makes me wanna see mods for the rest of the pizza tower bosses
yeah, this bossfight really firstly reminded me hollow knight and dead cells
I WAS WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS! AMAZING JOB!
this is incredibly well made! And works surprisingly well in hollow knight
Imagine if silksong had an equivalent to nosk that took place in a setting as colorful and jovial (compared to hollow knight) as this
I've been watching this (Pizza Tower) game months ago but i never expecting this mod in Hollow Knight, but it fits well.
Edit :
02:28 love that background detail changed for phase 2, just like original game.
HOLY CRAP?! THIS IS GOOD
Fake Peppino's chase sequence fits right in with the themes of Hollow Knight.
This is the most ambitious mod I've seen for this game yet, it stays true to the original Fake Peppino boss fight, while also respecting the mechanics of Hollow Knight. Really great job on this!
Extremely minor nitpick: Fake peppino is actually the only boss that won't recover from a stagger on their own, yet he does here. Aside from that, this is actually really good. Nice work!
Probably a balance thing given the ability to heal endlessly with dreamnail
Bro how in the FUCK--
Prolly the coolest thing I've seen in a while, and I don't even play hollow knight!
This nearly looks 1-1 to the game, amazing shit
Words cannot describe how well it fits good job!
This is honestly peak performance
Yo, this so high effort, it's incredible, bravo!
This mode is amazing, some little things like the sounds and some other stuff like idk make the boss battle more like the pizza tower iteration and the mod would just be perfect
now all we have to do is mod Nosk into Pizza Tower
Team cherry patiently waiting to see full entire games on hollow knight
I think I got the wrong copy of pizza tower
I’ve never played Hollow Knight, but I came here to say that you somehow recreated this boss fight down to the SMALLEST of details, awesome job dude
I fucking love this, imma need this for REAL!
Two of my most favorite games and boss?! Yes, please!
This is actually really good great job ( also I can't help but notice that you made the escape sequence actually kind of nerve wracking and scary compared to pizza tower where peppino can just Speedrun the entire thing and leave fake peppino ten yards away from him, yet again though I love both games)
Uh oh Fake Peppino escaped the source code and is invading other games.
Oh gosh I don't know what is worse, randomized Fake Peppino Clone attacks, or the chase sequence without Mach Run 💀💀💀
Both
This made me think of what if nosk was a boss fight in pizza tower
But anyways, aside from that! This is really well made!!!
Amorphous God of Falsehoods
this is way better than i expected it to be
the accuracy of this is impeccable!
Imagine, Fake peppino versus the nosk.
Who would win
I never played Hollow Knight... but I like this mod.
And like everyone else's thought, change the scream into the actual sound Fake Peppino uses.
Bros in the wrong game
I love how in phase 2 he just begins spamming his attacks and his clones
My man hast too much creativity lol, nice work
nosk 2: pizza boogaloo
he got teleported to the pizza tower itself, just the wrong place
I thought "Hey this boss is way too easy!" in Phase 1.
Then Phase 2 came and I understood true pain.
All the other bosses: yes you can heal ill give you time
Fake peppino: *no*
im suprised they actually managed to make it decent from the actual boss
This is the single best mod I have ever seen.
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK
Man this is so well made, and I never even played hollow knight
This is so well done
I was waiting for something like this
this looks like it was exported directly from pizza tower to hollow knight, this is cool as hell!
now we need nosk in pizza tower instead
everytime the knight heals, fake peppino tries showing off his cool ability to change the color of his clothes at sonic speeds! so nice of them!
0:27 you tought you could use the same tactic as in pizza tower didn't you?
Never thought pizza tower would make me wanna play hollow knight again
"I think i have the wrong Shadow Clone?"
- Vessel
i can't tell if this is a mod of pizza tower or a mod of hollow knight and i love that
It would've been cool if they real peppino showed up
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVE THISSSSSS 🤩🤩🤩
Whoa this is perfect
This Need To Blow Up.
Bruuuuuuh I’m both a hollow knight and pizza tower fan, this is amazing.
omg this looks exactly like it does in pizza tower
how is it this good
*The greatest crossover doesn't exist
Awesome! My only complaint is that the battle starts with real peppino scream and not fake peppino scream.
when the health inspectors going to be there in five minutes and you see a roach
the randomised supertaunt projectile ejection looks surprisingly more difficult to dodge than in the actual game holy shit !
Another mod to rank :)
why does it work so well???
able to remove the "PEPPINO, GET OVER HERE *NOW!"*
I could P Rank Fake Peppino, just give me a couple of tries.
Typa Elden Ring shit is this!? (Also looks sick, even included the double damage in the chase scene, nice touch)
I think if you hit fake pepinno a dreamnail, there would be text like:
IM REAL ONE PEPPINO ONLY I AM
PIZZA TIME PIZZA TIME PIZZA TIME PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS!!!
Hollow knight is now in pizza tower
Another crazy Jngo creation
Holy shit how did the mod creator do this
And this is masterpiece
I cant believe it, someone actually did it!
I love how well this ports into Hollow Knight
I think a _Hollow Knight_ counterpart to Fake Peppino would be a swarm of mites (or other tiny insects) under a cloak… maybe with a smiling mask like the False Monarch from _Bug Fables._
