Gnome Forest

File:Levelicon12.png

**Gnome Forest** is the tenth level in Pizza Tower, and the second level of the Vacation Resort.

In this level, the player finds themselves in a big dark forest where a village can be found where gnomes and goblins that look like Gustavo and The Noise respectively live, as well as a much brighter, big and open cliff-side forest with giant pizza trees in the background.

The level's titlecard shows Peppino, Brick and Gustavo in the midst of the trees, with Peppino and Gustavo being dressed in gnome outfits and Brick wearing a birthday hat and carrying a party blower in his mouth.

## Mechanics

### Gimmicks

* **Gnome Pizza**
* **Gustavo**
* **Big Mushroom**
* **Gnomes**

## Collectables

* Toppins
* Tower Secret Treasure

Each Toppin in the level is obtained after delivering a Gnome Pizza to a gnome, each being directly where the player naturally runs. The player must make it to these houses before the timer on the pizza depletes.

Gerome is located four rooms after the Tomato Toppin, near the ceiling. The player needs to get to the rightmost area near the top, bounce up the right wall, and break wooden blocks. The door to the File:IconTreasure.png is located in the room directly before Peppino switches to Gustavo. Returning with Gerome during Pizza Time, run or super jump up the long sequence of wooden blocks to find the door.

## Secrets

* First Secret
* Second Secret
* Third Secret

In the second room that Gustavo and Brick exit to after their tutorial, the player must climb a wall where a visible secret eye is blocked only by a small wooden block.

In this secret, the player uses Gustavo's double jump to clear large distances and destroy metal blocks.

In the room directly after the player receives the Tomato Toppin, there is a semisolid platform above a seemingly inconspicuous wall with a dented floor. This wall is actually transparent and has a secret inside.

In this secret, the player gets propelled forward with great speed, needing to use Gustavo's double jump.

The final secret is actually at the start of the stage, directly in front of the exit door below the first semisolid platform, but is only accessible during Pizza Time. It is in a hidden wall, so it is not visible until the wall is entered.

In this secret, the player runs up vertical segments like in a secret from John Gutter, though bouncy mushrooms are placed to attempt to bounce the player off.

## Trivia

* Despite having final name in Beachandforestv1, it was temporarily called **Forest** in PT\_Eggplantv15 build.
* In the Gustavo & Brick tutorial, the combo meter is hidden. However, the combo can still be built in the tutorial, even if the combo timer is paused. The timer will reappear and be reset upon exiting the tutorial.
* The party blower Brick holds in the title card is not actually colored in. It is transparent, so that some of the verdant background and the trees are visible through it.
* The level's titlecard is famously known due to the recent "Lario" meme, which features a slideshow of one singular image of the 3 characters from the title card under the text "Lario", accompanied by a mashup of the songs "Sneaky Snitch" by Kevin MacLeod and "Superstar" by Young Thug. This image was actually a joke from one of McPig's spriting streams.
	+ This meme went so popular that "A Secret in The Trees", the level's secret theme, was renamed to "Everybody Wants To Be A Secret", in reference to a line from "Superstar".
* This level is one of only three levels (excluding bosses) in the game to feature no transformations.
	+ The other two are John Gutter and The Pig City.
* Upon entering this stage, the game's window will rename itself to "A forest in the Pizza Tower".
