Next up, Gustavo! Or should I say…

Salmi!

So, Salmi is based on Pizzabro and he and Totino are still brothers (for those of you who’ve been here since the early days of Warioblast, you might remember that Pizzahead called him that offhandedly)

He works in Totino’s Pizza Parlour, working as a janitor for the place. Unlike his counterpart, Totino hates smoking, but Salmi does still smoke cigarettes during his breaks

He’s always there to defend his brother, so seeing him bolt off to the Scraper definitely surprised him, with him following closely behind.

Now inside the Scraper, he may make an unlikely ally…

[jokerman9540]

Now every story needs a villain too. Introducing…

CEO Stick

It’s Mr Stick taking on the role of Pizzaface.

Usually seen on a flying TV screen, this Stick is almost a carbon copy of the one we know normally, with the exception of him looking a lot more richer.

His orange suit now has black pinstripes, his tie has a large dollar sign embroidered in gold on it and his fedora not only matches his suit, but the band now has a dollar sign shaped pin made of gold on it and he also keeps a wad of cash in one of the inner pockets of his suit.

The TVs he’s seen on match the ones from the main game, and make a beeline towards Totino when he shows up, accompanied by his laughter

His goal is to destroy Torino’s restaurant so he can build another Scraper

[jokerman9540]

First things first! A Pizza Tower AU needs a Peppino. But this Peppino is unlike anything you’ve seen before!

Introducing…

Totino Pizza!

(Yes, I did partially lift the name from @pepperonitowerask)

So, if you can’t already tell, Totino is Pizzahead taking the role of Peppino (The art isn’t how I imagine him, someone on Reddit made it for me after I described the character. Main things are that he doesn’t have those kind of teeth, his outfit and he doesn’t wear that hat). He mainly wears the exact same outfit he normally does, but with an actual apron over the top

Totino runs “Totino’s Pizza Parlour” with his brother Salmi. He puts on a happy face for what few customers they get, but the man is a nervous wreck most of the time. Cooking pizza is his only joy, and unlike Peppino he doesn’t get angry, only more stressed out.

One day, while cleaning up after a slow day, Totino was surprised with a visit from an orange TV being lifted by a small propeller. The screen was filled with static as it turned on, before the picture cleared to reveal CEO Stick, the owner of The Spaghetti Scraper.

Stick reveals that he’s planning some land development. Specifically, he wants to develop the land that Totino’s restaurant sits on, and plans to demolish it using a large cannon mounted on top of the Scraper.

The TV flies off with Stick laughing like a madman, being followed by a very stressed out Totino, with Salmi and their landlord (Mr Face) right behind them.

Hey!

It’s been a while huh?

You might be asking:

Where have you been?

What’s happening with the blog?

I thought you were dead?

Etc

Allow me to answer these.

I originally took a hiatus that went into me abandoning the blog

“Why?” You might be asking?

Personally, I didn’t like the way I was handling the story (Nina, the fact that every character began to feel the same and that I was dealing with way too many characters) and certain things (The Noise Update, new stuff with Antonblast, etc) basically made me realise that I would have to massively rewrite certain parts of the story

I started this thing when I was 16, and now I come back to you as an 18 year old with a rather fresh autism diagnosis, and it does partially sadden me to say that

Warioblast Tower is cancelled

However, I’ve been secretly brewing something else in the background, which is what this blog will now become. Say goodbye to Warioblast Tower and say hello to…

SPAGHETTI SCRAPER!

My own personal PT AU! Character introductions will start appearing periodically, and the first one even has some fan art!

[jokerman9540]

Wario: “Alright, what are we up against?”

Gustavo: “Well, we need to go through Crust Cove, Gnome Forest, Deep Dish 9 and Golf”

Waluigi: “Golf, you say? I think I’ll have a go at that.”

He smirked, being a master of the sport

Gustavo: “Alright then. I’ll be heading to Gnome Forest, seeing as I know it best.”

Wario: “I’ll go to Crust Cove. I wouldn’t mind a relaxing beach adventure.”

Snick: “And I’ll go the Deep Dish 9!”

Noise: “OH! Me and Peppino volunteer for Golf too!”

Peppino: “WHAT?! No we don’t!”

Noise hurriedly slammed a bottle of milk into Peppino’s mouth, forcing to drink and then gag on the contents.

Funky: “I might as well go too. I’m fairly familiar with the sport.”

Cannoli: “I’ll join you Gustavo, you seem… saner than the others.”

Gustavo: “Umm… thanks?”

Stinky: “I’ll come too!”

Antari: *BLOOP*

Gustavo: “And Antari makes 4. That’s us ready!”

Mona: “I guess I’ll go with Snick, that way I won’t have to deal with Wario”

Pepperman: “Me too! I’ve always wanted to shine among the stars!”

The whole group rolled their eyes in response

Fakey: “Me too?”

Snick: “Sure thing Fakester!”

Fakey made a noise that Snick silently hoped was a cheer.

Old Manton: “Me an’ that apple in the cowboy hat r’ going with the yeller feller.”

Pizzano: “I’m going as well. I don’t wanna miss out on the fun!”

The groups now divided, they entered the gates

[jokerman9540]

*To Anton, Annie and Peppino* This is it.. Floor three. Time to see what the levels hold in store for you guys. Hopefully you can all get P Ranks on the first try. Also, look out for any traps Satan and Pizzaface may have put in wait for you. I'm sure it won't be any problem since you guys can handle anything! Anton, you have both the heart of a lion and strength of dynamite since you're the Dynamite Man! Annie, You got the spunk and chaotic energy to back it up. Peppino, you may be a nervous wreck, but deep down, you are stronger than you look. When you do get to the Lap 2, don't give up, keep your combo and most importantly.. Get outta there!

Anton: “Yeah! Those idiots ain’t got nothin’ on us!”

He laughed heartily

Peppino: “Thanks for the words of encouragement as well. We probably won’t go for the P ranks since each level is so different from normal, but who knows? We might just have to get them!”

Everyone poured out into the 3rd floor

Noise: “Oh baby, it’s good to be home!”

He took a deep nasal inhale before retching

Noise: “What the fuck is that stench?!”

Wario took a sniff

Wario: “Garlic… and MONEY!!!”

He jumped for joy as the group took in their new surroundings, the once bright and vibrant floor seemed even more bright and vibrant somehow, though it had lost its cartoony aesthetic.

Snick: “Alright! You guys know the drill, let’s split up and take down these levels!”

[jokerman9540]

Needless to say, the reaction upon the groups return was mixed. Gustavo, Brick and Fakey rushed over to Peppino, engulfing him in a massive (slightly slimy) hug. Brulo was surprisingly quite cheerful to see both Old Martin and Antari, though Red Guy grumbled, clearly holding a grudge against everyone but himself. However both of them were shocked to learn of the incredible battle against Danton and Nina. Brie, on the hand, got by far the most shocked reaction, with several daggers being stared at him. Though Vigi was quick to defend him, even getting some backup from Noise, saying something along the lines of “we all get to threaten Peppino physically, just once. Well, except me, I can do it as much as I want!” Which resulted in him being thanked by Vigi before receiving a swift smack to the back of his head.

Old Manton: “Alright you whippersnappers! We’ve got a thing to do! Don’t rightly what that thing is myself, but what the hey, I’m enthused!”

The group nodded and chuckled a little, piling into the now unlocked elevator and proceeding to the 3rd floor

[jokerman9540]

(I love the story so far! I would like to engage in the story too as well as ask the characters questions and interact with them, mostly, Wario, Anton, Annie, Peppino and the others. Besides, I'm listening to "Dynamite Man" from Antonblast's OST and I think it fits the moments with Anton and Annie. I'll be using "The Death That I Deservioli" for the Lap 2s the groups would do in each level aside from the normal escape themes.)

(Thank you!!! Writers block is being a bitch right but I should be able to crank the next part out in bit. As for lap 2 I do have plans to incorporate that pretty soon, now that we’re moving up to floor 3 (except some “noisy” shenanigans!) and please, feel free to interact as much as you like, I find that riffing off of asks and such massively helps me creatively, so keep em coming!)

[jokerman9540]

//Lil update!

Got a new phone recently, so I’ve been logging back into all my accounts, which took a while. Also been going through some family drama. But don’t worry! The next part is pretty much done. Just need to find time when I can post it

[jokerman9540]

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Real excited for what’s to come! Next part is in the works, just working on a few bits a pieces.

Here’s to another year!

[jokerman9540]

Vigilante: “Well, alls well that ends well, eh?”

Anton: “Haha! You can say that again!”

Peppino: “Congratulations guys! That was quite the show!”

Annie: “What can I say? I aim to please, hehe!”

Brie: “And what is to become of these rapscallions?”

He gestured to Danton and Nina, who were both unconscious.

Peppino: “Well, we just left Applejim in his arena. All we really need to do is find the big key”

???: “Is this what you young fellers are blabbering on about?”

The group turn to see what looked like a very old Anton and a very pixelated Anton

Anton: “Dad?!”

Peppino, Vigi and Brie: “Dad?!”

Old Manton: “Calm down, I heard ya!”

Antari: “BLOOP”

Anton: “Oh, sorry Antari, I didn’t forget you, I’m just surprised to see you is all.”

Antari: “BEEOOP”

Anton: “Yeah, yeah. It’s nice to see you too.”

Peppino: “Uhhh?”

Anton: “OH! Right! Where are my manners! Vigi, Brie, Peppino; this is my dad, Old Manton and Antari, he’s like a digital clone of me.”

Old Manton: “Please to meet ya whippersnappers!”

Peppino shook his hand and tried to do the same with Antari, though the pixels on his hand were a bit sharp

Peppino: “So, you mentioned a key?”

Old Manton: “Hrm? Oh yes! This thing!”

He produced a large key.

Peppino: “Yep, that’s what we’re looking for.”

Anton: “So, dad, you coming with us?”

Antari: “BOP”

Old Manton: “You heard him! Let’s go, hehe!”

With the new pair in tow, the group left the unconscious duo as they exited the arena

[jokerman9540]

Danton jumped back as the pair landed in front of him

Danton: “Oh come on! Where’s the sportmanship buddy?!”

Anton cracked a familiar smile, adjusting his grip on his hammer before charging towards Danton and smacking him with it, sending flying once more.

Vigilante: “Nice hit pardner!”

With that, he twirled his revolver, firing six shots at Danton, all of which collided with his chest, causing him to go even further and having him slam his back into a girder before falling to the ground and, surprisingly, groaning painfully

Vigilante: “How’s that feel, eh?”

Danton: “Ooooohhhh… Shaddup ya damn cheese blob…”

Vigi chuckled as Anton joined in with a hearty laugh.

Meanwhile on the ground, Brie and Annie were giving Nina hell, not even letting her have a break

Nina: “STOP!!! Jesus, give it a rest!”

Annie: “Give it a rest(!)”

Brie smirked, reloading his SMG before firing off another volley towards her.

Nina panted heavily, running out of steam and slowing down. After a while, she tripped over her own feet, hitting the floor and subsequently passing out. But not before getting a good whack from Annie’s mace, causing her body to land on top of Danton.

[jokerman9540]

How do pizza tower characters would react to their own counterpart?

Peppino: “Well, seeing Pizzano was… jarring to say the least. Makes me worry that one day Noise might actually go as far as he did there and then Noise and I will end up exactly like Pizzano and Pizzelle”

Outside of the boss gate…

Noise: “Pizzelle is kind of a wimp. Just like Peppino, but seeing him scares me. I don’t wanna end up like that, but I still wanna mess with Peppino! I guess I’ve just gotta try and…”

He grimaces and gulps

Noise: “rein my pranks in a little…”

He almost throws up at his words

Pizzelle: “Oh come on!”

Noisette: “I like Rosette! She’s nice and funny, and she bakes really well, just like me!”

Rosette: “Well, almost like you…”

Noisette: “Oh come on, don’t put yourself down!”

Rosette: “Hehe…”

Pepperman: “Well, I am NOT a fan of Applejim. Sheriff is pretty cool though. Of course I would be the only one of us to get TWO doppelgängers!”

Fakey burbled sadly

Sheriff: “Now I’m sure he didn’t mean it like that pardner. He just means lookalikes from other universes, right?”

He shot Pepperman a dirty look

Pepperman: “Y-yeah, of course that’s what I meant!”

Gumbob: “I don’t think Vigi likes me all that much… But Pepperman is pretty spectacular!”

Pepperman: “THANK you!”

Gustavo: “Personally, I don’t like G, mainly because I’m not that big of a fan of Mr Stick.”

Mr Stick and The G: “Hey!”

Mr Stick: “And as for Stinky… We’ll he’s… alright, I guess…”

At the top of the Tower…

Pizzahead: “Hey there! Temporarily stealing this to introduce you to someone who’s been hiding from you until now!”

Behind him stood a figure with a scoop of ice cream for a head, smoking a cigar whilst wearing perfectly pressed and ironed pink shirt, complemented by a pair of also perfectly pressed and ironed pair of brown khaki trousers, a pair of bright red shoes and a pair of faded yellow gloves at the end up his thin, stick-like arms. His bright red nose matching the cherry on top of his head as he grinned just like his Pizza-faced counterpart

???: “Name’s Conehead! Nice to meet you! And I can’t wait to destroy you, along with that COWARD of a Candy Maker!”

[jokerman9540]

Annie and Nina swung their weapons at one another, Annie’s mace knocking some of the cement chunk off of Nina’s rebar club. They recoiled hard, sliding away from each other before charging back in.

Danton laughed maniacally as Anton smacked him upside the head with his hammer, launching him backwards. He chuckled as he stood up slowly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb

Danton: “Oh how I’ve missed this! Just you and me, duking it out, just like old times!”

Anton said nothing, grumbling a little before charging towards Danton again, clocking him in the side of his head with his hammer, sending him flying sideways to a girder below

Danton: “Ooohh… Gonna feel that in the morning!”

He chuckled again, cracking his neck

Danton: “WOO! DOESN’T THIS JUST MAKE YA FEEL ALIVE?!”

Anton: “WHY WON’T YOU JUST DIE?!”

Annie and Nina were seemingly at a stalemate, repeatedly bashing weapons together.

Annie: “Come on! Throw a different swing or something! Quit copying my moves!”

Nina: “Stop copying my moves(!)”

Annie: “GRAAAH!!!”

Vigilante: “JUST WHAT IN TARNATION IS GOIN’ ON HERE?!”

All four of them turned to see Vigi, Peppino and Brie at the entrance of the construction site. The two cheeseslimes looked at each other

Brie: “I’ll help the girl?”

Vigilante: “And I’ll help Anton. What about you Peppino?”

Peppino: “You know what? I’m going to sit this one out. Give ‘em hell!”

Vigilante: “Well, hope ya enjoy the show!”

With that, he leapt upwards, landing next to Anton, as Brie sped over to Annie. They both raised their guns towards Danton and Nina

Danton: “Well, now I hardly think that fair, eh Anton?”

Anton: “OH WILL YOU JUST-“

Vigilante: “SHUT YER TRAP!”

He turned to Anton

Vigilante: “Don’t let him get to ya, that’s just what he wants. Calm down, fight him tactfully!”

Anton took a deep breath, adjusting his grip on his hammer.

Anton: “Thanks for that. Now, LETS DO THIS!!!”

He smiled an mad smile as he and Vigi leapt towards Danton

[jokerman9540]

(Got asked this in a message recently, it doesn’t concern the story so I thought I’d answer it myself.

“Why does Fakey speak like a child?”

In a lot of other Pizza Tower blogs, Fakey typically speaks either gibberish or backwards (either English or Italian).

For Warioblast, I decided to set it about a year after the events of the game. As such, I thought that Peppino and Gustavo (mainly Gustavo) would have decided to try and teach him to speak English, although he speaks it very basically.

The way I pictured it is that he takes a word, sounds it out in his head and then reverses the sound. That’s why the words don’t sound 100% right.

Hope that explains it! Expect the next update soon, and keep asking!)

[jokerman9540]

Danton pushed back against Anton, causing him to stumble backwards. Quick as a flash, Danton then jumped into the air, swinging his crowbar down towards Anton. Anton hopped back as Danton hit the scaffolding floor, with the crowbar smashing straight through the weak boards. Anton swung his hammer, it colliding with Danton, sending him flying and causing him to crash into a girder, though he managed to hang on to it

Danton: “BWAHAHAHAHA!!! This is amazing! I can’t remember the last time I fought like this!”

Anton: “I do… AND YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE IT!!!”

He leapt towards the same girder, performing a hammer bounce, causing it to shake violently as he landed on another one, huffing and puffing with fury

On the ground, Annie swung her mace towards Nina with reckless abandon, with Nina dashing away from her, cackling all the way. Occasionally, she would grab things and throw them at Annie, who would whack them with her mace, either smashing through them or sending them flying in a random direction.

Annie: “Oh my god… Get back here!”

Nina: “HAHA, NO!”

She hurled a pipe towards Annie, causing her to have to block it as Nina grabbed a rebar club. The pair lunged at each other, their weapons ready and maniacal smirks on their faces

Annie and Nina: “LETS DO THIS!”

[jokerman9540]

Vigi darted through the alleyways, giving chase to the evasive Brie. Every now and then, Brie would unload a hail of gunfire towards Vigi, forcing him to stay back, with him occasionally returning fire to no avail.

Vigilante: “Brie!!! Get back here! We can talk this out!”

Brie: “No! Peppino killed my brother! Just let me get my revenge!”

Vigi: “If you really wanted to get revenge, Peppino would be dead already!”

Peppino: “Y-yeah!”

Brie: “Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!!!”

He fired a whole magazine at Vigi, who quickly jumped over, closing the distance between the two of them. He aimed his revolver squarely at Brie, his SMG clicking repeatedly.

Vigilante: “Calm down boy.”

He lowered his gun, resting his hand on Brie’s shoulder

Vigilante: “Let’s talk this out.”

Meanwhile, back at the construction site, Anton and Annie were on the run, rapidly climbing the girders and scaffolding as Nina hurled bombs towards them while cackling maniacally. Danton on the other hand was chasing them directly, swinging a crowbar wildly

Danton: “GET BACK HERE!!! NO ONE PUNCHES DANTON AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!!”

Anton: “We gotta stop Nina! Then we can beat Danton!”

Annie: “Don’t worry, I’ll deal with Little Miss Maniac down there. You just focus and dealing with Mr Anger Issues back there.”

With that, Annie leapt off of the girder they were on, pulling out her mace as she descended towards Nina, who quickly dodged, causing Annie’s mace to slam into the ground as the two glared viciously at each other

Anton, on the other hand, stopped running and whipped out his hammer, turning around to face Danton before charging towards him. Their weapons collided mid swing as they snarled at each other, their facial hair flaring up like the hackles of dogs. Surprisingly, Danton began to crack a sinister smile, chuckling darkly

Danton: “Now THIS is a FIGHT!!!”
