For those looking to play the game and have no idea what's going on in this video: • Pizza Tower has a letter rank system (D, C, B, A, S, and P, from worst to best) that the player is granted for each level based on how many collectibles you collect • There is a combo system; killing enemies increases your combo, and it expires after not killing any other enemies - however, grabbing any level collectibles restarts the combo timer • Every level offers a "Lap 2" that takes you back to the end of the level, requiring you to make your way to the start a second time • A P rank is obtained when you don't lose your combo from the moment you killed the first enemy, obtained the majority of the level's collectibles, and completed lap 2 in that level

The best part about this run is that it's flaws make it better, you can see a greater variety of animations and abilities. If you watch the speedrunners, they go so fast and cut all unnecessary movement that watching that gameplay becomes really boring.

Peppino when IGN rate 10/10 as a P rank

Yooo first level

did anyone else get OutRun vibes as soon as that lap 2 started?

aww look at the baby doing his frist steps!

alright, not bad for a first stage. just a few tips: by doing a grab dash and pressing down lets you get mach 3 speed in an instant, letting you speed through obstacles with a bit more ease. (example, no need to turn in a mach run into the third secret @ 2:19, or having to risk get damaged by the fork knight @ 3:51) using your grab dash to cancel out of a mach run sounds counter-intuitive, but saves you bumping into or climbing walls when you just want to go downwards. (like the vertical portion during the escape sequence) when you try to mach run right after tossing an enemy, peppino is still a bit slippery from the recoil, so it helps to dash forwards to get your mach run back on track. IM NOT GONNA SUGARCOAT IT. did you know that you can block and parry any projectile or damage by pressing [C] before getting hit?

This isnt a IGN journalist

For anyone that’s struggling with P Ranking this level thanks to THAT one particular Forknight by the end, don’t even bother ram into it, slowly approach the bastard and parry him to hell, or use your super taunt to get him because he deserves it, mf out there destroying entire P rank attempts by himself
