Pepperman

“	So why do you wear the rabbit costume? Is it to get closer to nature in some way, while tangled up by societies expectations? Is it a symbol of anarchy, or maybe it's meant to represent the free flowing nature of early adulthood? Are you eco-friendly? How many-	„

Pepperman Strikes!

Background

Pepperman is the first boss in Pizza Tower found in the first floor.

Pepperman is a giant red pepper with limbs wearing a pair of white gloves and sneakers of the same color. Pepperman has big, blue eyes and is frequently seen sporting a great, confident grin on his face showing his teeth.

Notable Techniques

• Shoulder Bash: Pepperman dashes towards the player and hit the wall, giving an opportunity for the player to attack. At 8 HP after the player successfully jumps over Pepperman's Shoulder Bash attack, he turns around and starts dashing again until hitting the wall.

• Ground Pound: Pepperman jumps up in the sky and lands at exact place the player stands at. After the land, he's open for an attack. At 4 HP after landing, he bounces up towards the wall, then bouncing off it back to the ground. He's open for an attack only in the air, so the player needs to perform a precise uppercut to land a hit on him.

• Art Marbles: At 2 HP, Pepperman constantly uses his double Shoulder Bash, while not giving any direct opportunity to hit him. The player needs to attack marble blocks instead, that appear at the corners of the arena. The marble blocks have 3 HP. After finishing the artwork, the player needs to let Pepperman to Shoulder Bash towards it, then he'll stop to admire it, giving an opportunity to attack.

• Pepperman Drawings: At 8 HP, Pepperman Drawings start appearing from the corners of the arena. Once they spawn, they wait some time in the wall, then start slowly moving towards the other side of the arena, then moving away from the arena. They can be destroyed by Pepperman.

• Pepperman Statues: At 6 HP, Pepperman Statues start falling from the sky. After reaching the floor, they get destroyed.

• Knight Pepperman Statue: Knight Pepperman Statue works same way as Pepperman Drawings, except it has a bigger hitbox and it moves across the screen much faster. It also cannot be destroyed by Pepperman.
