They were also originally in pizza boxes before being collected but the final game changes it so they are in cages, likely to make them easier to find.Additionally, one point in development saw the Toppins being used as a defense against Pizzaface during Pizza Time, where they would transform into Sentai-looking Topping Warriors who could be launched at enemies to kill them.In the final game, the Toppins give you money to open boss battles, and the Tower Secret Treasure is not connected to Pizza Time. The Toppins were originally conceptualized as obligatory pick-ups which the player had to collect, so that they could feed them to the level's Pillar John doing so would make him open the path to the Tower Secret Treasure which, when collected, would activate Pizza Time.

Also pictured is the original HUD.Īs Pizza Tower was in development for five years, had a very open development cycle compared to other contemporary games, and even had multiple pre-release builds playable by backers (or for free for certain events such as SAGE or holidays), various ideas which were showcased and even included at certain points, but ultimately ended up subsequently scrapped or reworked enough to warrant its own page.
