This is the one boys.

Faster than Sonic and even if you fuck it up and have to slow down, the animations and situations are funny enough to not make you mad. It's also crazier and has way better moment to moment gameplay than Wario 4. It even has good bosses!

I have been thinking about triple A platformers design philosophies (mostly Nintendo games, Sonic and not much else) and in regards to Pizza Tower, they tend to conform to very specific design norms. Which is to say that there is a kind of not written obligation to have strict difficulty progressions, prioritizing stuff that tends to be alien to those games cores. For example, in Sonic games the first levels tend to be the funniest while the latter ones usually bloat themselves with ideas that conform to what latter levels in a platforming video game should look like instead of what Sonic is at its core.

Well, Pizza Tower has none of those problems. Everything that happens, everything that Peppino does, is true to its own insanity. When you finish the game you are left wondering if everything that occurred in it was a delusional dream of a madman instead of a well choreographed video game. Maybe because the key to good video games has more to do with live giving madness than with boring to death design templates.
