Game
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator

You see this little guy on the character select screen? That's Peppino. It seems like most of you don't know who he is or where he's from. I'll fill you in on the details in the article


Peppino is from an indie game in the making called Pizza Tower. Pizza Tower is an action platformer inspired by the Wario Land series (specifically 4). Pizza Tower Guy is the creator of the game (yes that's what he goes by). You can get very creative with the movement options. There's the dash grab, ground pound, roll, uppercut, style moves, taunt, etc. It's a fast paced game, so thinking fast will get you closer to victory. To beat a level/tower, you must go to the end of it and take down John the Pillar. Once he's dealt with, the tower starts to collapse and you need to run back to the start before time runs out. The Noise is Peppino's arch rival. He hates pizza. He is of course inspired by Domino's old mascot The Noid. If you'd like to try out Pizza Tower, you can look up the demos on Pizza Tower Guy's itch.io page

I fiiiinally added the KO stars. I wanted to do it like how Superstar Saga does it, but I settled for how the 3ds titles do it

The Shadow Update coming soon!

Finally fixed a pretty bad bug where if you hit a block too quickly, it would keep rotating. The fix is only applied to the solo block in this clip to demonstrate how broken the bug made things lol

The first 2 special attacks will be available to use in the upcoming update, being Bowser's Goomba barrage and Wario's piledriver. Of course there will be specials made for everyone else, and then multiple for each. It's just a lot of work for me

Here's a look at the new title screen! After pressing enter, the camera pans down to the top of Hoohoo Mountain where the character you selected is standing. After they say a voice line and pose, it transitions into the overworld

Is there any random footage you'd like to see before the update's release? Like a battle, bounty mission, or minigame? Let me know so I can show some content for you without any long stretches of silence on my part

If you didn't know already, every character is getting a unique enemy select background in the coming update! (WIP sprite is temporary)

The Knuckles battle is completed! That means the next update is almost done!! Read the article for details on Knuckles' attacks

I haven't posted much because all of the work I'm doing is just optimizing. Any talk I'd do about it wouldn't be too interesting. I do have a little something though. Here's a work in progress of Knuckles' last attack

I added 2 more extra backgrounds to the battle customization for fun. First is a playable version of the cliff seen in both the title cutscenes and the Paperverse/F3 2024 trailer. I also conjured up a Shovel Knight background
