This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Pizza Tower.

This cactus is UNDER CONSTRUCTION
This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.
SOMETIMES I SEE A TEXT BOX AND I JUST CAN'T HELP MYSSDFGFFDHFGDJGGFSHGDFH
This page sucks.
If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.
Specifically: Use other words than "instrument(s)" / Just change (almost) all the descriptions.
Hmmm...
To do:
Actually add any audio files. I can't download them right now.

Note:

Don't post full Patron-only track here. Only post samples posted on Discord / Bandcamp / Soundcloud / any other place where these songs can be accessed publicly. Also, don't post tracks here that yet have to be officially finished, like Yeehaw Deliveryboy.

Extra Note:

One of the mods recently had their Discord token stolen, causing the source code and some unreleased samples to be leaked. Do not post them here.


During Pizza Tower's development, a lot of songs were either teased in an early state, altered, or cut from the game entirely. This page goes over the differences for each track.

Updated Tracks

Cold Spaghetti
don't preheat your oven because if you do the song won't play

Phew, that's one long track name. Anyway, there are 2 different versions of this track.

The first variation sounds nothing like the final, with the track going for a darker tone. This was later changed to an entirely different theme. The second variation of the track we all know and like has some instruments missing, some instruments were different, and at 1:07, the main theme of the song is repeated again.


Dungeon Freakshow

All that's different is the ending of the track, which fades out early.


Ground Bound

Some minor parts are different, and the final version is longer.


Hot Spaghetti

This track was used in Demo 2. The guitar is missing, there are no background screams, and the track doesn't fade out.


It's Pizza Time!

There are two variations for this track.

The first version (used in Early Test Build) has a lot of differences. The song has a lot of more bass, some [finish this lol] The second version (used in Demo 2)


Pepperman Strikes!

Previously titled "Threat On a Leaning Tower". The older version is shorter, repeats some parts, had different bleeps, and in the final, the trumpet was replaced with a piano.


Pizza Deluxe!

Some instruments and samples are missing or have been moved, and some samples have been replaced with Wario samples as placeholders.


Spaghetti

Around 1:31, the track has less veriaty, repeating the same part over, and at 2:26, there's a part that was taken out. Otherwise, the track is the same as the final.


The Death that I Deservioli

There's no echoing, and the part at 0:45 was taken out of the final track.


Threatrical Mischief

Used in the SAGE 2019 demo. The track has less variety, the progress of the track is completely different, and the earlier version is shorter.


Threatrical Shenanigans

Almost the entire track is different. Some segments have been moved in the final version, and some added jazzy instruments.


Samples

Distasteful Anchovi

A short sample of the song was included in Thing of the Week 4. This track is also the replacement for Pesto Anchovi.

There's less bass, the Noise's theme plays instead of a different theme, and the way the song progresses is different.


There's a Bone in My Spaghetti!

Previously titled "Cold Freakeloni". The guitar in this version is a lot louder, there's no evil laughter, and the guitar doesn't sound the same when it fades out.


mmm yess put the tree on my pizza

Some of the bass instruments are missing.


Pesto Anchovi

Some of the Super Mario World instruments are different.


Pimpin' Hot Stuff

The song is a lot louder and has a lot of missing background instruments.


The Noise's Jam-Packed Radical Anthem

There are multible variations.

Version 1 is missing any of the background instruments, and has no trumpets near the end. There's also a bit of echoing in the beginning. Version 2 sounds nearly identical to the final, but still has that echoing in the beginning of the track.


Tubular Trash Zone

Previously titled "Toxic Land Zone". The guitar is different and none of the instruments sound the same.


What's on the Kid's Menu

The melody of the track is different.
