I’ve seen so many people describe ‘it’s pizza time’ as “running from death” and ‘the death that I deserviolli’ as “daring death to catch you if it can” and honestly I have to agree.
Context for "It's Pizza Time" is that it is the music during the escape sequences in the game where the level is falling apart around and you need to basically get from the end back to the beginning. "The Death that I Deservioli" is a Lap 2 of sorts. After you get back to the beginning during "It's Pizza Time" there is an optional portal that will take you back to the end and you have to do it all over again with the timer continuing to count down. Not for the faint of heart, hence The Death that I Deserve...ioli.
"It's Pizza Time" bounces around in a different direction like a pinball every 10 seconds, but it never feels like it's genuinely out of control or gone off the rails. It's a brilliant composition that's arranged excellently and uses super-slick instrumentation.
For the next ones to react to, I recommend: - Unexpectancy 1-3 (Final Boss Theme) - Hot Spaghetti - I Need A Noise (Music for the end of the newest update) - Put On A Show!!
Loved that you said “They’re Marching into war” because Thousand March actually plays in a level called “War” where you’re pressured by a ticking time bomb. Also the main protagonist scrapped lore was that he was supposed to be a war veteran
@@smashmonster6929in the noise update, after you beat the game if you come back to the area with the boxing glove that launches you to the final boss you'll see smoke rising off the edge, jump off and you end up in Peppino's house where you'll see a bunch of his stuff including the medals along with unlocking the co-op mode.
Pizza Tower as a whole is a love letter to the sights and sounds of the 90s, wrapped up in a chaotic, speedy, and satisfying platformer. And I’m always happy to see more people discover it! If you want recommendations for a potential part two, mine are: - Extraterrestrial Wahwahs - Oregano Mirage - Tropical Crust - Peppino’s Sauce Machine - Bye Bye There!
**MASSIVE GAME SPOILERS BELOW*** The context for PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS is that you fighting a doppelgänger of yourself who is entirely… wrong. His limbs contort in unnatural ways, his body melts into the floor every time he takes damage, and every attack is a funhouse mirror reflection of your own moveset. Hence why the theme sounds like if pizza time was playing on a melted record
I actually didn't really enjoy the music of the noise update. It went a little odd and a bit too fixed on a single genre. I feel like the genre in question is a little too electronic even for pizza tower. Also locking in on 1 genre sort of removed the charm of it, since the classic pt music skipped across a huge palate of genres, so it had tons of variety and didn't seem like it was trying too hard to keep the mood the same. The classic pt soundtrack had very experimental type music which created a vast rollercoaster of moods for you to follow as you play along. The Noise update music doesn't really do that. That being said, I don't hate the music, and I feel like it had a lot of work put into it, I just don't enjoy listening to it as much. Also I love the song Pumpin Hot Stuff, so I don't hate all noise related songs
Pizza Tower is one of those games where you think to yourself, "What is this game and why does the OST slap so hard?" I've been listening to it for a while, and it's a headbanger for sure. (My favorite tracks are Unexpectancy Parts 1-3 btw). Also I find PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS to be a really interesting boss track, because it's meant to be a corrupted version of It's Pizza Time, much like how the boss is a corrupted version of you. And yes, Pizza Tower has several horror elements in it...for some reason.
“It’s *Pizza Time* “ vs “ *Pizza Time* Never Ends” See the, you see the umm the thing? It replicated in both cool ways and meant to be a wrapped twisted version of Peppino’s (main character) song Pizza Time with Fake Peppino’s (Boss 4) Pizza Time never ends
I guess since people are doing a good job with some of the context, I can give a shorter list of each song. Pizza Deluxe: Title screen (as you knew) It's Pizza Time: Oh god, GET BACK TO THE ENTRANCE! The Death That I Deservioli: You are tempting death by restarting the escape with whatever time you had left. Tombstone Arizona: Wasteyard is a graveyard. You get to turn into a ghost, surf corpses, and get chased by a ghost version of John (the pillar you smash for Pizza Time to start). This won't make you restart the stage like Pizzaface, but he does send you to the start of a room. Thousand March: The stage is literally called "War" and you have to race a clock the entire explosive stage. Oh, you also get a shotgun. Pizza Time Never Ends!!: Boss 4. There's a reason this song is familiar. And also "That doesn't work." It works brilliantly, because it doesn't. That is all I will say.
The Death I Deservioli is the most adrenaline pumping song I've heard while playing a game, probably because it's coupled with gameplay of trying to outrun your own death with aggressive amounts of speed
The best thing about this game’s music (In my opinion) is that the tracks perfectly embody the character it represents. An example of that is “It’s Pizza Time!” As it perfectly represents Peppino, the Italian embodiment of crippling anxiety(TM), The ticking clocks, The spiraling notes seeming out of place in the track, and the end getting faster, it all fits peppino and his emotion. Another one, which is “Unexpectancy P3”, As peppino’s anger flourishes in the track, even bringing back earlier motifs from his travels. And that’s just the main character, the music for everyone just embodies there personality, with Noise’s soundtrack feeling silly and reckless, like his job and how he does things. The emotion of the characters that gets put into the music is generally my favorite part of the music. It brings together the characters And all and all sells the characters personality and emotions at current time. Sorry for the ramble just wanted to say this lol ok byeeeee-
"Why does this sound like the opening to Thriller" exactly what I was thinking 😆 Anyway I didn't know at all what to expect from a game called Pizza Tower, but it certainly wasn't that...the OST do be banging though
Pizza Tower is genuinely one of the best games I've ever played, in no small part thanks to the music. There isn't a single bad track in the entire game.
PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS is my favorite track in the game. It perfectly fits the situation where it plays. It's Pizza Time! ends up becoming your theme song as you progress, due to how often it plays. NEVER ENDS is deeply 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐝. Wonky drum timings and weird instrument choices, combined with verses slurring near the end, never able to keep up appearances for long. Not to mention how it devolves into madness by the end as the reprisal begins to babble the main melody over and over andoverandoverand- ...until finally returning to the quiet repetition used in the opening. The song tells a story. Great video! Thanks for covering this game, it's still got tons of gem left for a potential part 2 someday! It made me very happy to watch. Can't wait to see what's in store for next time!
"The Death that I deservioli" goes hard but its an absolute banger that captures "I-a need to hurry up I don't know why but I MUST DELIVER BEFORE THE TIMER RUNS OUT" really gets me on time to work in the morning
I do hope you do a part two. there's so many more incredible tracks, from Oregano Mirage, to Extraterrestrial Wah-Wahs, and one of the best final boss themes ever made, Unexpectancy(parts 1-3).
Honestly, pizza tower has tons of music tracks, and all of them are worth listening to, even the giant pile of the unused ones, and. "The Noise Update" music as well (after listening to Unexpectancy, it's up there with Pizza Time).
god i love Pizza Tower so much it's my hyper fixation 😫 the music in this game (mostly made by mr sauceman) is sooooooooo good you gotta listen to the entire soundtrack I'M SERIOUS!!
I've been totally hooked on this soundtrack for the past year, nearly every song is such a banger. My personal favourites being Peperman Strikes!, Tropical Crust, Extraterrestrial Wahwahs, and Good Eatin'
It’s Pizza Time reminds everyone of Wario Land 4’s Hurry Up sequences, but The Death That I Deservioli reminds me personally of A Hat in Time’s Time Rift Collapse missions.
You gotta listen to the main boss songs from Billy bust Up Edit: the songs are core from the gameplay so you might want to watch the boss fights for better context + experience
I have been waiting for her to do Pizza Tower, but it seems like the Final Boss Theme wasn’t added, so I hope she does a Part 2. I also hope she does Touhou 6 at some point too.
For a game recommendation to listen to: Undertale Yellow. One of if not the BEST fangame that’s fully completed. Best tracks: (no particular order) - A Mother’s Love - Trial by Fury (we call it Trial by Furry) - Retribution - TENTH LEVEL LOCKDOWN - Guns Blazing - END OF THE LINE - Showdown - Meltdown - Best Friends Forever - AFTERLIFE
This game's soundtrack has a lot of interesting variety in it, but it all manages to encompass that late '80s/early '90s vibe. If I can recommend anything else, it would be Tropical Crust and especially Extraterrestrial Wahwahs.
There are a lot of great tracks as well like Delivery for the Cities and the Strongcold theme. Also the main inspiration for the game's art style is supposed to be Courage because the main dev McPig grew up with it as a kid and wanted to implement it into a game 15:33 i am 100% certain that sound is from Starfox for the SNES. That game uses that sound for its music all the time
I am a HUGE fan of Pizza Tower, so im so glad you picked the songs you did! I totally recommend checking out more of them, and if you're willing, checking out some music from Homestuck!
Hey! Id love to suggest a few game themes you might want to try out, the ULTRAKILL soundtrack is plenty good! Some notable themes are "The Fire is Gone" "Versus" and "Versus Reprise" "CHAOS" and "ORDER" "Tenebre Sangue Rosso" And at last, "WAR"
That last bit of the last song (PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS!) has 2 tempos, one standard and one swing, but they're lined up so that they are the same bbm I think, which gives a weird "this shouldn't be working but somehow it does" vibe. I love it because the location where the song plays has a similar "something is really off but I can't put my finger on it" feeling
In case you weren't aware, this game has three composers: POST ELVIS, Mr. Sauceman, and ClascyJitto. POST ELVIS did "Pizza Deluxe", "It's Pizza Time", "The Death That I Deservioli", "Tombstone Arizona", "Calzonification", and "Thousand March" were composed by Mr. Sauceman, and "PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS!" was composed by ClascyJitto. If you react to more Pizza Tower, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Unexpectancy Parts 1-3, Tubular Trash Zone, Unearthly Blues, Pepperman Strikes!, Pumpin' Hot Stuff, and Good Eatin'!
I saw someone commenting on a live reaction of this game ost that Thousand March is the bastard child of Justice and Carpenter Brut and it's honestly the best description of any song I've ever heard lmao
"Pizza Time Never Ends!" doesn't actually change its tempo until the very end. It's always the same tempo, but the percussion and beat makes one think that it does. It's all just very... chaotic. Which is fitting for the boss it plays for 👀
I HEAVILY suggest doing a Part 2 to this. You missed out on some great songs like Pepperman Strikes, Hot Spaghetti and especially Unexpectancy. This game has a lot of bangers
Please do react more to it! And if you do react to more there's 4 I would recommend. Funiculi holiday, Tropical Crust, Tubular Trash Zone, and Way Of The Pig! EDIT: 21:48 Don't worry! That was kind of the feeling they were going for, and I don't blame you. I would probably do the same lol!
Obligatory college essay on context time: - “It’s Pizza Time” plays at the end of every normal level, where after defeating a particular enemy, you have run back to the start of the level, racing a timer that pretty much spells an instant game over when it runs out. - “The Death That I Deservioli” is an attached to a gimmick that comes into play when you start going for high scores. After playing through the level once, you have the option to attempt a “Lap 2,” doing the entire escape sequence again without any extra time to get a higher rank. - “Tombstone Arizona” is the normal background theme for a graveyard-themed level, with a lot of ghost-themed enemies and power-ups. - “Calzonification” is the boss theme for the Vigilante, the floor two boss. The Vigilante is a sort of Wild West themed cheese slime, using revolver shots and dynamite in his attacks, and ending the fight in a quick-draw QTE. - “Thousand March” is the background track for the level “War,” one of the last (and hardest) stages in the game Th level puts a timer on the entire stage instead of just the ending, and requiring the player to break computers along the way to rewind the timer before it hits zero. - “Pizza Time Never Ends!” is the boss theme for floor 4, known as “Fake Peppino.” A sort of goopy shapeshifter-like creature that copies the protagonist’s likeness just wrong enough to be nightmare-inducingly unsettling that makes clones of itself throughout the fight, and references the themes from “It’s Pizza Time.” I’m pretty sure I’m not alone when I say I’d LOVE to see another episode on Pizza Tower. “Time For A Smackdown” (the opening cutscene theme) Oregano Mirage (another basic level theme) and Unexpantancy (the nearly 10-minute, three-parter SLAMMER of a final boss track) are my personal highlights. The game also recently had an update, introducing a new playable character and even some new music, including another insane final boss track.
@@MarioFanOnRU-vid I don't like the genre it is set in personally. The genre is also way too abrupt of a change from the classic music. It also samples about every 3-5 seconds, which I was fine with when it was every 4 or so measures, but it just gets a bit annoying.
@@smashmonster6929 I see where you're coming from. For me it's not a problem since I like the samples very much and I don't get to listen to such music often. As for the genre, it fits to be different imo because the Noise is different than Peppino and the music reflects that. Eh, it's all down to preference at the end of the day.
I suggest you take a listen to all the themes again but with gameplay to go with it. A lot of the time the songs has more context when pared with the visuals of the game.
Hey, I have seen that you didn't react to Genshin Impacts OST. Genshin has a really great Soundtrack and I really want to see your Reaction to some of the Tracks. I haven chosen six, but if it's too many you can skip "Die Mittsommernacht-Fantasie", but it would be great if you react to the rest. There is a link to a playlist with the six tracks down below. - Genshin Impact Main Theme - Swirls of the Stream - La vaguelette (This song is in french) - Die Mittsommeenacht-Fantasie - Devastation and Redemption (This is sung by a Chinese Opera Singer) - Polumnia Omnia ru-vid.com/group/PLc225UXFkBVpy74cXWzHoi1vUMmcj0wS-&si=Q8xMnfMmDVVJltd- Hope you will enjoy it^^
I just want to say that since you like both cupheads big band music and previous mario music that you should listen to Super Mario 3d World music. I would suggest hisstocrat and the credits role as some nusic you could listen too.
I just saw dozens of videos titled something along the lines of “the noise scares off fake pepino” and I kind of just assumed “the noise” was a gameplay mechanic you could do at any time like a taunt that makes you scream
