## Description

Peppino is a portly Italian chef wearing a black T-shirt, black pants, a white tank top, and a chef's hat. He also has black hair and a small mustache under his long nose. He shows signs of both anger and fear, frequently shifting between the two. He is only shown to be happy when he accomplishes something, for example, when Peppino collects a key or treasure, getting an A-Rank or higher, and during the True Ending. Despite his rough emotional state and portly figure, he is shown to be rather strong, as he can pick up and throw large objects with ease, run extremely quickly, bash enemies with a shoulder dash, among many other powerful attacks.

He is the owner of Peppino's Pizza, named after himself. The restaurant is implied to be in rough shape, with buckets of water spilled on the floor (with a stray bucket), and pizza sliding off the counter. As shown in the game's intro, running the restaurant seems to be putting Peppino in a bit of debt, with little to no money shown in the shop. Additionally, in the game's ending, Mr. Stick can be seen running off with a bag of money, behind what is assumed to be Peppino's Pizza. This could be the reason behind Peppino's large amounts of debt. Despite their rivalry, Mr. Stick is still considered to be one of Peppino's friends.

### Body Slam

Pressing down while in the air makes Peppino perform ground pound, damaging enemies from above. The fall can slightly be adjusted by pressing left and right. With enough height, this can be used to break metal boxes, indicated by the meteor-like effect.

Landing also stuns surrounding enemies for a brief period of
