The Noise

**The Noise** is the main antagonist and final boss of *Pizza Tower: Pasta La Vista*.

## Behavior

### Pizza Time Behavior

If Pizza Time’s timer hits 0, The Noise will begin chasing the player around. He runs faster than the player (although can be outran at Mach 3 and 4), and touching him will result in the player getting a Time’s Up, requiring them to continue from their last Checkpoint. The Noise will also leave traps along the course to try to give the player a Time’s Up, and also becomes active on Lap 3, regardless of the amount of time.

### Boss Fight Behavior

The Noise will be awaiting the player on the roof of the tower. On the roof, there will be 2 Noiseys in the background; one will be holding a microphone, the other will be filming the fight. There will also be 2 spotlights pointing down to Peppino and The Noise. After Peppino yells, the battle will begin.

#### Phases & Attacks

##### Phase 1

During Phase 1, The Noise will be fighting the player out of pure fun, while also trying to defeat Peppino.

The Noise will use these following attacks during Phase 1:

* Enemy Spawn: The Noise will spawn either Noiseys, Noise Bombs, or Noise Goblins. These enemies use their rage attacks, and can be thrown at The Noise to stun him.
* Washing Crusher: The Noise will get on top of a washing machine, and will jump around, slamming the ground. He will then get off the washing machine, which can be thrown as a projectile to damage The Noise.
* Pogo Stick: The Noise will get on a pogo stick, and begin bouncing around.
* Noise Crusher: The Noise will get on his Noise Crusher, and begin to slam it in random places, causing shockwaves to appear.
* Bombmouth: The Noise will put a bomb in his mouth, and begin running around in an attempt to blow up Peppino, taking off 2 health from him. Should you avoid the attack for 10 seconds, the bomb will explode, stunning him.
* Team Up: The Noise will bring up Noisette, and they will both throw each other at the player. This attack stops after The Noise throws Noisette 3 times, or if the player parries Noisette.
* Ghost Dive: The Noise will turn into his ghost form, and attempt to dive at the player. This attack ends after the player dodges it 2 times.

##### Phase 2

During Phase 2, The Noise will shoot the camera Noisey in the background, and begin to use more dangerous attacks. He will also dress up in a British/Classy uniform.

Not only will The Noise reuse his Team Up, Noise Crusher and Enemy Spawn attacks, he will also gain new attacks. The new attacks The Noise will use in Phase 2 are as follows:

* Toppin Monster Spawn: The Noise will sound an alarm, causing one of the Toppin Monsters to spawn. They will chase the player until they run into a wall, in which they will be stunned, and can be thrown at The Noise to damage him.
* Debris Fall: The Noise will press a button, causing debris to fall in certain places.
* Toppin Launch: The Noise will pull a lever, launching the Toppin Gals into the air, with them being able to damage the player if touched. In addition, Claire Cheese will launch cheese upon landing, which can cause Peppino to slip and fall, and Patricia Pineapple will launch orange spikes, which can damage the player.
* Butt Slam: The Noise will repeatedly butt slam across the arena, attempting to crush the player. Getting crushed by The Noise will turn the player into their flat form, while in The Vigilante’s case, does damage.
* Knight Armor: The Noise will get in his Knight Transformation, and will also give the player their knight transformation (or in The Vigilante’s case, does nothing). He will then jump and walk around, and attempt to stab the player with his sword, either by dashing into them, or jumping and slamming it on him. After 15 seconds, the player and The Noise will be struck by lightning, getting rid of the Knight status.
* Taunt: At times, The Noise will preform a taunt, leading to the player’s attack potentially getting parried by him.

##### Phase 3

During Phase 3, The Noise will mock the player, before proceeding to make an army out of practically every single enemy in the game, with 1 of each enemy. From there, Peppino will go absolutely beast mode, and begin pummeling the Cheeseslime. From there, the player must defeat 1 of every single enemy in the game. Each enemy will use their heat meter attacks, along with them gaining 2 new attacks. In addition, the player will also need to wait for them to flash to hit them. However, each enemy only takes 1 pummel to defeat.

After completing the enemy gauntlet, The Noise will reappear, only this time being absolutely beast mode, only wanting the player character dead. Not only will he use every attack from the last 2 phases, but he will also use a few more new attacks:

* Knife Spin: The Noise will spin around, causing knives to appear in all directions.
* Tounge Terror: The Noise will lash out his tounge, taking up an entire line. After 0.5 seconds, he will retract his tounge in, and lash it at wherever the player’s act. After 2 more lashes, he will stop.
* Super Taunt: The Noise will jump high into the sky, do 3 taunts, before Super Taunting the player, which can potentially damage them unless the attack’s parried.

## Trivia

* The Noise was based off of Dominoes’ mascot, The Noid.
* One of The Noise’s taunts is his old design, which portrays him as having a pizza on his hat and shirt.
* The Noise was considered to use an attack where he threw a bottle of “not-milk” at the player, along with another attack where he’d enter the firemouth transformation. However, these attacks were quickly scrapped.
* The name of his boss theme, *Noise is Calling, Pick up Phone*, is a reference to the meme of the same name.
* Originally, Phase 3 would’ve had The Noise using attacks from other bosses, before becoming a boss rush similarly to the original Pizza Tower, before finally becoming an enemy gauntlet. In addition, the phase after the boss rush was meant to be a “Phase 4”, instead of being part of Phase 3.
* It is planned that whenever wearing either the Peppina, Peppergirl, Vigi-Chan, and Fake Peppina skins, The Noise will be replaced with Noise-Chan.
