==Tips==
*Peppino starts with -100% Movement Speed, meaning that without any speed powerups, it is unable to move. While playing as a stationary character might seem like a fun challenge, starting with extra MoveSpeed with PowerUps is advised, which will at least allow it to slowly crawl to collect chests.
*Wings can be a useful pickup to help boost Peppino's speed.
*Attractorb is one of the most important pickups for Peppino as early as possible, as it allows it to collect EXP gems in a large area without needing to move. As a result of this, its native Magnet boost, and Soul Eater being its starting weapon, Blood Astronomia (XXI) is a good early arcana for Peppino.
*Because Peppino has high armor, but no ability to avoid enemies, Divine Bloodline (IX) can be another viable Arcana for its retaliatory damage. However, it should be noted that Divine Bloodline does not work with Soul Eater, only its pre-evolved form, Garlic. Therefore, while this Arcana is technically viable, its actual usefulness will be somewhat limited.
*Mad Groove (VIII) can help Peppino compensate for its nearly nonexistent speed by gathering all stage items and chests around him. However, be careful not to grab the Silver Ring, Gold Ring, Metaglio Left, or Metaglio Right too early, as Peppino's awful movement speed means it absolutely must kill the Atlanteans very quickly or die.
*In stages where The Stalker naturally spawns, like The Bone Zone, Peppino needs to grab a Rosary or Victory Sword before that happens or die, as it has no way of escaping from the creeping reaper.

==Trivia==
*The level it gains Area bonus at is the Fibonacci sequence, which is often associated in nature with plants. The next term for this sequence is the sum of the last two term, for example, the final level it receives the bonus is at 21, which equal to 8 + 13 from the last two level threshold. However, Peppino stopped getting more stats at further terms of the sequence, which would have been at level 34 (13 + 21) and so on.
*Peppino has one sprite only and is the only character without animation when moving.
