Can You Beat Pizza Tower with ONLY D-Ranks? (
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- In the spirit of low percent challenges, I try a challenge where I must be bad at the game. Kinda like a low score challenge, but the difficulty is in managing pain and dodging points. This ended up being a lot harder than I thought...

now phantom should beat the game without collecting pineapple topping
Broke: D-rank is the worst rank in Pizza Tower
Woke: D-rank is a mirrored P-rank
y e s
Wait…. It literally is!? If you flip P upside down and turn it to the left, then it looks like a d… Pizza tower devs knew what they were doing
The only thing is forgoten here is the fact that there is no hit limit
@@Weedlyweekly The game is so good that it's unintentionally brilliant
@@Weedlyweekly correction: you only need to flip it upside down, you don’t need to turn it to the left.
I could argue that getting a D rank is harder than a P rank.
Depends on the circumstances surrounding the attempt I think.
Will pig city is hardest to d since he's first time through it at the end it showed 17 damage instead of 9
@@abod6787 That's because he counted Gustavo's damage and Peppino's damage separately. In fact, he literally said that getting a D rank there is one of the easier D ranks.
@@CursedXyster i didnt think of that
@@abod6787 You didn't watch the Gnome Forest part where he literally said it himself that he's counting their damage separately? Pretty sure Wasteyard is the hardest.
D rank outside of a boss fight is basically the “you’d have to legitimately trying to be this bad”
Or just be a game journalist.

I love the scenes where peppino grabs and puts the enemies in a random spot 😂😂
I like that you limited how much damage you could take to make the challenge a lot more interesting! It was fun to watch
Yea. Surprising amount of flexibility for self-imposed challenges with that being a thing.
Oh hey wassup BarelyAlec!
@@Catrunop Funny seeing you here!
@@BarelyAlec Funny seeing you here too!

I love that Bloodsauce Dungeon is just as hard to D-rank as it is to P-rank
You need to place a limit of hits
the fact The Final Judgement actually gives you a thumbs up as you actually did well on D-ranks as they are harder than P-ranks
Had to give new meaning to when Peppino says "Good job! That was *D* AWFUL".
@@PhantomAarantula And he mean without sarcasm. to a straight good job
@@zanithony1276 Big brain. tap tap
@@PhantomAarantulatheres also a "YOU SUCK" judgement
The D-Rank is harder than the P-Rank when you limit how many times you can run into an enemy. Love it.
All in the spirit of making the challenge more entertaining.
Glad I got to watch parts of this one live. This turned out a lot more interesting than I would've thought, given how low the cutoff is in most of these stages. I've never seen this much effort put into playing like a game journalist before.
idk how people like the Cuphead tutorial guy do it, this was hard
@@PhantomAarantula what was all of the music you used in the making of this video? like is there a list or do you not remember? some of it actually sounds pretty good.
@@user-xf8xk6hw9m The music names are all literally in the video itself before each level.
@@PhantomAarantula ah so me am big dum-dum
@@PhantomAarantula i see
I love how it takes more precision to D rank War than to P rank it
Tell me about it. I saw someone else D rank WAR, and they had to take so much damage to achieve a D, it nearly put me off from even attempting the level here.
@@PhantomAarantula I don’t know if you realised but I’m pretty sure he meant with the damage limit
It’s nice to see a challenge run from a game besides Bug Fables and Paper Mario, and I’ll love to see more.
I do want to branch out to try more games to make videos on.
D stands for delicious!
And delectable
@@PhantomAarantulaand diabolical, like this challenge. :)
@@camwyn256 and deppino
@@potionmarkerisoverhated And death
No, it means DIE
It's funny how fast youtube A.I chapters kick into a video that doesn't need them.
“Good job! That was awful” is so appropriate. It feels congratulatory and sarcastic at the same time
I take it in the best way possible
It's hilarious to imagine the way Peppino grabs the enemies only to gently put them down in another corner of the room
9:16 It's because you survived for 30 seconds after time was up. According to the Wiki if you don't start Lap 2 and survive for 30 seconds after "It's Pizza Time!" ends The Death That I Deservioli will automatically play. Almost as if the game is yelling at you to finish the bloody level.
Oh interesting.
I know you were trying not to swear with Oh Shit!'s level name, but "Oh Crap!" was right there _and_ still preserves the pun in the name.
That aside, EXCELLENT video, great work on it. My favorite thing about Pizza Tower is how the Toppins are the only progress blockers. Any time a game ranks your performance, it can get nerve-wracking because you assume at some point you're going to have to get high ranks to keep playing the game, but this video proves you can D- and C-rank your way all through Pizza Tower and still see credits, and I think that's very empowering to people who think a game like this would be "too hard" for them.
Eh. I like how "Oh Shoot" sounds. Thanks for checking my vid out.
@@PhantomAarantula That's fair. It has the "sh-" sound at the beginning that makes it flow well.
In case you're confused why the Lap 2 theme played at around 9:14, then allow me to stop your confusion.
My theory is that the game thinks you should've either made it to the exit or hit the Lap 2 portal, so it just plays the Lap 2 theme, since you're still in the level.
that doesn't quite make sense? lap 2 starts when you go through the portal and that's what usually triggers the music
Ill have an explenation since i lag mostly in pizza tower.
So when timer hit 0:55 it start going to the pizza time song part that want you to go faster, and when the song is over theres little pause until theres lap 2 song, because either the dev dont want a silent chase of pizza head and you or just like the song name "the death i deservioli", is a song that death (aka pizzahead) will chase you, because you were too slow.
i think its just because room transition + pizza time part 2 queue glitched it
My theory is that it’s a fail safe feature incase death I deserveoli doesn’t load properly
@@Mama-Luigiit just starts playing if you take too long in a level
at 9:17 the reason the lap 2 theme started playing (the death I deservioli) doesn't only play at lap 2 or the sound test secret, it also starts to play when Pizza face starts to chase!
9:45 "That was scary"
Peppino: no, that was awful
Peppino approved
9:16 More likely than not it's the way the music works in this game.
PT uses FMod events to control when stuff happens. Basically, they put several tracks onto one "timeline" of sorts and assign them as specific events, as well as give them loop points if needed (which is why sometimes the loops sound off, the tracks don't have looping versions, they just get back to a specific point).
I don't know fmod that well but what happened there is probably after pizza time ended the music continued it's journey past the loop and eventually started to play lap 2 since it's also located in the same place just further.
Last time I actually looked into stuff like this was months ago so this is my educated guess at best, I am probably off about at least something.
You still know more than I do, lol
Imagine going for a d rank only run and when you got a d rank, it would instead play the p rank sound.
I really truly honestly love the format and commentary of this video, you have such a great voice
Thank you!
i absolutely love videos like this. if i find more like these on your channel i'm going to spontaneously combust
very well played
Really happy you enjoyed the video.
Wow, beef house, you like pizza tower?
@@littlefox3099 im replying to let you know that i have seen your comment but i am choosing to not reply to it
This was great! The content was unique, and I can relate to this challenge. (I’m really bad at Pizza Tower)
Pizza Tower: D for Diabetes run. Awful jokes aside, turns out it's really hard to suck at Pizza tower. So congratulations for putting so much effort into avoiding the entire point of the game! You did an excellent job!
Like no really I find challenge runs like this kinda awesome.
39:55 you know that was bugging me the whole video but as soon as I read that I burst out laughing
I’ve been wondering about the fastest time you can get with the lowest scores possible for a while, nice to see this video
Very cool video! I would like to see more challenges in the future.
I would like to try other Pizza Tower challenges. Though coming up with interesting ideas is rather difficult... but at least I've got tons of videos on a couple of other games.
I love how the captions add valuable information!
Alternate Title: What's the Minimum Required Kills & Score to beat Pizza Tower?
It's not only possible to get D Ranks in every level, but also **0 POINTS** (except WAR, but it can be skipped). There used to be a glitch about it too, until it was patched by giving you 10 points if you ever do manage to do that
i think i saw that patch for another RUclipsr. basically so the level is actually considered completed
Use debug mode, alltoppins, panic, exit door
@@PeppinoSpaghett130you can just do panic and simply leave
pizza tower, the only game where getting the worst rank is hard
at least with a few adjustments
Oh, I didn't think about possibility of replaying levels for toppings. thank you! Maybe i use this for my future walkthrough.
A necessity here when toppins give so many points
1:28 another way to avoid this topping is to crouch jump over it it feels more risky though
Interesting. I never thought to try that.
@@PhantomAarantulaI checked it and it’s way more consistent

17:57 had the chance to say 'get your mind out of the john gutter'
Can't think of every joke, I'm afraid.
@@PhantomAarantulaik,but it whould have been a really good joke
thank you so much for adding subtitles
Had a script readied so it was no biggie to do
@@PhantomAarantula it's just that most people just don't add them, even on scripted videos (if it's a non-scripted video then i understand)
Reminds me of the "Pointless" Runs from earlier demos where the goal was to collect absolutely nothing in a run.
Really cool!
i love the way you talk about the placement of things as if they're malicious and you aren't doing an insane challenge
Suffering from success is mu schtick
why tf have i never seen your channel before. good content bro!
You've at least seen me before, silly. Lmao I've been watching you and your streams since DMCA Tower
@@PhantomAarantula real
Great idea!
As much as I love Pizza Tower, this challenge is pretty much proof that the ranking system is is kinda broken. Out of the six possible ranks (D, C, B, A, S, P) the ostensibly good A is ridiculously easy to get, as all you need to do is finish the level while finding one or two secrets. The next rank is S, which requires you to find everything in the level, be good enough at the movement and combat to get decent combos, and practise this until you are good enough to do all if it in rapid succession and reach the end of Lap 2 alive. After that getting a P-rank is just grinding some more until you are able to do the same without making a single mistake.
In other words, the A-rank comes very early in the learning curve whereas S and P come very late, with no ranking measuring your progress in between.
This was fun. I tired to do Pig city and it was super fun but a little easy. Other stages would be harder especially because the toppings are locked behind taxis that you don’t have to do it.
I Think the reason The Death I Deservioli started playing was because you spent so much time After Showtime Started the game either: A. Thought you went in the portal, or B. Needed to Play a song and The Death That I Deservioli is the Song that is Supposed to play AFTER Pizza time, so the game defaulted to it
Anyone's guess...
9:17
after a while of pizzaface chasing you the death that i deservioli starts, it's natural
Thanks to this video, im now a professional D Rankist
Excellent
I like how in the fast food saloon and gnome forest, he put the original background songs
This was really fun to see, suprised you pushed through despite how painful it is! i couldn't even get past world 2 due to how just tedious the challenge. fun fact: if you hurt yourself enough, you can beat the level with all toppins with still a D, though it's really annoying and levels take almost 11 minutes!
Yeah... that is possible. But that also doesn't seem like a very interesting challenge, especially when most toppins are available before Pizza Time so time isn't a problem.
This puts the genre “score attack” to a whole new level
in pizzascape as the knight transformation you can click up and then down and you will stop sliding
9:16 yeah, actually pretty obscure fact but if pizzaface spawns on lap 1 and you survive long enough lap 2 theme starts playing. I found this out accidentally a long time ago when I was playing around with letting the time run out the moment pillar john is destroyed as a jerryrigged lap 3 (this was within 2 weeks of the game launching lol, funny how time flies)
9:20 The Death That I Deservioli plays once time runs out in Pizza time
i can see that
I love how he played the actual song used for Fast Food Saloon, just because it’s such a banger
Edit: Gnome Forest too
immense props not only for the challenge but for using the best rhythm thief song
HECK yeah. Rhythm Thief slaps
I'd like to see if it's possible to beat, and maybe even unlock the new Secrets Of The World stage with a D-rank under these rules.
Looking at the update earlier today, there's no doubt in my mind that unlocking a new level would be possible since you don't have to complete levels to earn the pumpkins. But I'm not sure about the new stage at all (mostly because I haven't gotten to see it yet).
This video blew me away.
Pog
That music glitch in Bloodsauce Dungeon...I have to guess it's to do with the Lap 2 portal being in that room. No clue what happened on that specific time beyond that, though; could be your momentum, I guess, or maybe your X-position? Can't see why it wouldn't activate before then if it's just based on you leaving the starting room. Then again, it happened in about the same way in Golf...
at 28:05 i always wondered why it was blurred out but i see why it would
also i was curious about the "get your head out of the gutter" part in fast food saloon and i only just realized what it is
Yeah. I ended up putting a warning in the title, too. If I ever redo this challenge with The Noise, I'll definitely need to look out to avoid potentially triggering seizures.
Alternate title: P and D ranks switch spots
great vid my guy

@@PhantomAarantula yw whats ur plans for future vids?
@@Rushon-pj8sk Well a minimum kills challenge for this game is definitely on my mind. Otherwise, no idea aside from some videos on games I played before Pizza Tower like Paper Mario and Bug Fables.

A trick for avoiding the tomato in John gutter is to crouch jump over it. Trust me, it works.
Well would you look at that? It does.
@@PhantomAarantula I told you.
i like how one of the most low rank could be harder then the most highest rank
Wanted to try this but first i looked it up so now i get to be lazy thanks!
Lucky you!
"Pete's Escape" 💀
oh yea the lap 2 theme playing randomly bug
for some reason if the "it's pizza time!" theme finishes and doesn't loop then I assume the game checks if a song is playing and plays the lap 2 theme? idk I don't know how it handles this stuff
you can do some crazy stuff with debug in the tutorial level and set the panic time to 0 which will end the pizza time loop and eventually okay the lap 2 theme like it did here
Very interesting
9:21 lap 2 music starts playing out of nowere
7:17 As a Cuphead fan, this is the most fitting track you could have put here. I D ranked bloodsauce dungeon once, never again.
Amen.

Nyooom~
35:06 somehow I struggle to get it in my pranks (I miss it with my routing)
As a Pizza Tower player, I did recognize Yee-haw Delivery Boy.
Funny enough your video is the first iv even heard about this game
Now this is epic.
Despite being so difficult to dodge I miss the mushroom in refrigerator refrigerador freezerator about 1/3 of my attempts at getting a P rank
tbh I may have just been bad at dodging them when first trying this challenge. But jumping while crawling actually may make it way easier than I thought
At 30:41, there's a blip of the up arrow prompt. Does that mean you can leave before the hand takes the exit?
Oh yeah I noticed that. Unsure tbh
@@PhantomAarantulachecked, you can't, even though the prompt is there
@@Games4Life7712 Unfortunate.
Pizza Tower: The only game where getting a D-rank (if you don't wanna go to hell) is as hard, if not harder than getting a P-Rank.
I wonder about Cuphead now ngl
I think that it would be MORE easier…but a little challenge seems good after a while
Bro an hour ago I was thinking the same damn thing...
TBH seeing someone have D ranks on all the levels in a RUclips video is more rare then seeing them have P ranks on all the levels.
ikr, I've seen maybe 3 videos where D ranks were the goal for a video and only 1 with D-Ranks for them all minus War.
Didnt know lap 2 would start playing after its pizza time
After getting a d rank in under 4 minutes for the noise clothes in john gutter. I realised just how hard being bad is
The reverse costume achievement is my validation. LOL
Also I think the reason the random block died in crust cove is because the cannon goblins shot a cannonball and I went up because of the slope hitting the block
Yep! And came in handy later, too.
And comes the Noise version requests.
I might actually, lol
No fuckin way a video game challenge video that is actually possible
You're adorable
aw man, i thought i was the only one who had this idea, ah well, gg
I always was afraid of the possibility someone else well may have had this idea, too. But if you can do better than I did, I'd probably still go for it.
everyone should make all d rank videos.....
NOW!
Good job! You D-Ranked every level!...
*now do the second lap.*
Since I've gotten "Holy Sh*t" and the John Costume for completion just because, I'd love to try getting "You Suck". I maaaay have a problem with Pizza Tower, I have 2 100% saves and 1 101% save 😅
That's not a problem; That's passion.
You Suck is pretty easy, i got it (on purpose so i could get war camo)
World 1 all toppins
World 2 all toppins
Skip some world 3 levels
World 4 all toppins
War
Maybe i missed a level, so just go to world 3 until you get pizza face
The Evil Tomator was the big baddie in Lost Vikings 2. This is his origins. That evil tomato
Rotten tomatoes deserve the hate they get and the War tomato as well as many others throughout this challenge all fit that title.
28:32 zamn thats actually a good speedrun strat
Truly does pay to do some research because it's a very handy trick.
New challenge idea : False P Rank
Requires a combo of atleast 35 to be kept till the escape, plus 2 secrets, all while keeping a D rank
War requires just a combo of 20 and a C rank, and CTOP needs a combo of 10 to be kept till floor 3.
