Pizza Tower/Unused Graphics/Unused Backgrounds

This is a sub-page of Pizza Tower/Unused Graphics.

spr_editor_background

A simple checkered background used in the updated level editor. It only has one square because it is supposed to loop and scroll around in the editor.

October 2022 Pizzahead Fight

Leftover are the October 2022 versions of the backgrounds used in the Pizzahead fight. The bricks used are both separate and are in the second phase's background.

Peppibot Factory Backgrounds

Peppibot Factory has some unused backgrounds, like unanimated versions of the industrial (exterior) and production (interior) areas. For whatever reason, these were both never used and meant for earlier builds.

Unused Interior Backgrounds

An alternate variant of the factory's interior background, with it being darker, and also animated.

Escape

Variants of the interior background that would be used when Pizza Time occured. The background on the right would be used for the unused interior background mentioned above, and the one on the left would have been used for the background used in the final game.

Eariler Production Background

A version of the production background with a much more richer black tone, and was used in the Eggplant build.

Unused Exterior Variant

Like the production background, this variant of the exterior background was used in the Eggplant build, and this version has color, plus it uses a more orange color palette, unlike in the final game in which has everything use a blue-ish palette.

Oregano Desert

Night-time Variant

A day and night system was planned for certain levels, with Oregano Desert being one of those levels.

UFO

An unused UFO background used in the Pillar John room from the Western build.

Escape

The unused escape background that was used in the April Fool's 2019 demo. This background takes place during night, with no daytime variant existing.

Old Desert background

The old, unanimated version of Oregano Desert's main background. Only used in the January build.

Animated Variant

An animated version of Oregano Desert's background, originating from the April Fool's Golf build.

bg_farmsun

Unused sun background element for Fun Farm.

Kung-Fu

The old Kung-Fu backgrounds, featuring an unused telephone pole foreground. The city background was reused in World 4's Mr. Car secret.

bg_bossroom

The old boss arena. This was used for showcasing various bosses, including Pizzahead, throughout various builds.

bg_noisearena

The background for The Noise's old boss arena is still present, thought it is of course unused.

bg_deserthub4

In floor 2, there is an unused layer in the foreground, where a piece of deserted land would lay.

bg_tutorial

The unused tutorial background. This was first seen in the Halloween demo and onwards before it was scrapped. The background features a green wall with faintly visible purple dots.

bg_pizzafacefinalhallway

As mentioned here, this was used for The Crumbling Tower of Pizza's old titlecard, but unobscured and without the leftover tiles blocking parts of it.

bg_pizzaland

The April 2021 build had the unused city level. One of the sections had a carnival theme, with these background elements being used. The level, however, was scrapped, alongside the background elements. These would be reused in World 3's secret, however.

Chef Task Backgrounds

These backgrounds were reused in the Chef Task rooms, but were once used in their own respective levels.

bg_pinball3

This was used in Space Pinball, one of the unused levels. Oddly enough, the Toppins seen in the background lean more into the earlier design rather than the more modern design. This was reused for World 1's Chef Task room.

bg_pinball1

Another unused Space Pinball background that was reused in World 2's Chef Task room.

bg_pinball2

The final bunch of the scrapped Space Pinball backgrounds. It was reused for World 3's Chef Task room.

bg_kungfugraffiti

Used in one of the sections of Kung-Fu, this background featured a bunch of characters, including the Pizza Slug and a gangster Peppino. This was reused for World 4's Chef Task room.

bg_snickexe

A mysterious red background that originated from the SAGE 2019 Demo. Perhaps this was used for the red flashing in the backgrounds found in Snick's Challenge.

October 2022 Pizzahead Beatdown

Referred to as spr_superattack_bg in the files, this was used in the October 2022 build when Peppino raises up high in the sky to beat down Pizzahead. Oddly enough, the background does not vertically scroll when the beatdown occurs. This was also used in the Steam trailer that released on YouTube, which scrolls upwards unlike in the Pizzahead beatdown.

2019 Sewer

bg_sewer3

A pizza that's used in the background of Oh Shit's 2019 version.

bg_sewer3escape

The same pizza above, but it's an escape variant with a skull and faint white eyes.

bg_sewerfore

Liquid cheese that was used as a foreground element and would move sideways across the screen.

Grinch Demo

bg_grinch_santa

A stock photo of Santa Claus that is used in the background of Pizza Tower's Grinch demo.

bg_grinch_stu

Seen for when you beat the Grinch demo. Itself is a cropped image of baby Grinch, seemingly from the live-action Grinch movie.

pizza1

The unused version of desert background that was seen in PT time challenge 1 video.

spr_towerisland1

Floor 3 has an unused background element, which would be waves that would scroll along in the background. An oddity with this background is that there's a small drawing of a stick figure on a ship. This would've have been for the main background, but was probably drawn on the wrong layer.

Strongcold

• 

  A background with frozen pizzafaces.

• 

  The snow used in Strongcold. Not very visible, though...

• 

  A background with a prison cell.

  A pizza with bones and a skull in it.

Left over from Peppino's Xmas Break are the backgrounds from Strongcold. These are mostly edited versions of the backgrounds the player sees in Bloodsauce Dungeon in the final game.

bg_city4

This background was originally used for the April 2021 build, but the city level and this background were left unused. The background, however, was reused in the Fake Peppino chase sequence.

Noise's Hardoween

• 

  A recolor of Pizzascape's background pillar.

Left over in the files are various background elements from Noise's Hardoween. All of the backgrounds used are redesigns of Pizzascape's meant for a more Halloween-type feel and add color, where as in the main release, the backgrounds have a less detailed and brownish look to them.
