Indie video game inspired by the Wario Land and Jazz Jackrabbit series, in development by McPig since 2018, released in 2023.
Features Peppino Spaghetti climbing the titular tower, with the aid of Gustavo & Brick. Each level features a set of five Toppins to collect (Mushroom, Cheese, Tomato, Sausage, and Pineapple) and Gerome the Janitor. Each floor of the tower features several levels, ending with reaching Pillar John and rushing back to the start, and a boss fight, going up against Pepperman, The Vigilante, The Noise, Fake Peppino, and Pizzaface respectively, with each boss being accessed after collecting a certain amount of Toppins and paying Mr. Stick for access. Each level has relatively distinct themes and gimmicks, with some reoccurring elements, including enemies such as Forknights or Stupid Rats. Each floor has at least one secret room in the hub area, one featuring the Noise's girlfriend, Noisette.
The second floor features the level Fun Farm, which involves special guest Mort the Chicken from the 2000 PS1 game of the same name, who is prominently featured in that level's title card. This inspired a wave of title card art featuring Peppino crossing over with various other properties.
