## Trivia

* This Pizza Tower fangame is huge middle-finger to Disney as there are expies of Disney characters and levels that are themed around Disney movies and cartoons. Being a very bad company for doing many bad things.
	+ Not only that, it also satires Aspen Pellot himself for doing bad actions in the past on the internet as Aspen Pellot and Penny Pellot appeared in the game as bosses.
	+ It also satires Hamden High School and Foundation High School’s abusive actions of Aspen Pellot as well with characters who are based off people who victimized him appeared as bosses.
	+ It also satires Nintendo as well with Molly Bunny, Wendy Duck, and Prince Mango as bosses.
	+ It also satires Dorkfishie and Swimminton Studios as well with a parody of Dorkfishie named Antoinette Jacinthe appears as a boss in the game.
* The game is created to compete with Sugary Spire.
* Aspen jokingly stated that Magic Crusade is the third installment in the Pizza Tower series, after Sugary Spire being the sequel.
	+ Aspen also jokingly stated that Magic Crusade is a ripoff of Peppina Ramen mod.
* Aspen Pellot also calls Magic Crusade "anti-Sugary Spire". He even makes fun of Sugary Spire.
* Even thought it wasn’t conformed yet, Magic Crusade is inspired by the two Pizza Tower AUs, Sushi Tower by SomenteBlack and Pizza Theater by Sappy and another Pizza Tower fangame, Boll Tower.
* The characters from SomenteBlack's Pizzs Tower AU, Sushi Tower are originally going to be added in the game as a secondary antagonists but SomenteBlack cannot give permission to Aspen to use Sushi Tower characters to the game. It was scrapped and Aspen created his own version of Sushi Tower characters instead.
* Magic Crusade is going to be just a crossover between Go!Animate and Lumine’s Gacha games but Aspen decided to add more characters from more character creator games such as Papa Louie Pals and Mii because he wanted the game to be more Super Smash Bros.-like. This was scrapped because Dorkfishie and Aspen don't like that idea.
* Swimminton was originally going to be a boss in the game; however, she was removed due to a request from her creator, Dorkfishie. She was replaced with Malt Dismay instead.
	+ An earlier version of Swimminton's replacement is a parody of the Klasky Csupo face called Noedolekcin Face. However, it was scrapped due to being a Nickelodeon character rather than a Disney or SEGA one.
		- Aspen wants Malt Dismay to be false form for the female antagonist, so he choose Pop Singer from the Nintendo DS game Rhythm Heaven.
			* Pop Singer is originally going to be Malt Dismay’s true form but she was replaced after the first demo of Magic Crusade because she was moved to her own video game called Fan Club because he thought that putting a Nintendo character as a villain in the Disney game is a horrible idea. Aspen planned to replace her with Scarfie from Dorkfishie Deluxe, but Dorkfishie refused to let him do it, resulting in him ranting about how he wants to own (or co-own) the original character instead.
				+ Dorkfishie ALSO doesn't want Scarfie to be Malt Dismay's true form. So Malt Dismay was changed to the true final boss. But this time, he came up with the new antagonist, it was called Mister Hand, which is a expy of Master Hand. Malt Dismay was now the true form of Mister Hand.
	+ The story was originally going to rip off Pizza Tower's, with Swimminton wanting to fire a laser at Raccoon Studios.
* Magic Crusade was heavily inspired by Dorkfishie's Pellot Tower
	+ The game is going to be merged with Pellot Tower into one single game simply called Magic Crusade, but this was stopped short due to Dorkfishie refusing to let Aspen merge her work with his.
		- However, Aspen did attempt to try again, but Dorkfishie refused, causing Magic Crusade to be canceled, alongside Aspen not finding a good enough artist in his area to draw in the Disney art style.
			* On JakeWorks Wiki, Aspen completely plagiarized Pellot Tower for Toon Tower, as a revenge. Dorkfishie found out about this and deleted the page.
			* Despite what Aspen says, he cannot use this page to continue development on Magic Crusade if Dorkfishie cancels and/or deletes Pellot Tower.
				+ Aspen split the project up into two games, Magic Crusade and Play-Singer The Rabbit. Aspen attempt to try again for the third time, but Dorkfishie said no. Aspen keeps begging Dorkfishie to get permission from her, and she still refused because she said that including Pellot Tower assists in the shoot-‘em-up game does not make any sense
					- She gave permission to Aspen to use A.P Antagonist and G.S Guidance. She also give him a permission to use Dorkfishie's versions of Aspen and Penny because it's Aspen's avatars, which Aspen later added the Pellot Tower versions of his avatars as a boss, which is done as a parody of him doing bad actions at the past, like stalking and harassing Dorkfishie. He also paints A.P Antagonist and G.S Guidance as non-boss NPCs in Magic Crusade.
			* Aspen later decided to resume development, just without anything from Pellot Tower.
* Magic Crusade was ALSO heavily inspired by SAGE 2019 Demo of Pizza Tower.
	+ Magic Crusade is originally started out as a Pizza Tower fangame starring Snick The Porcupine called Magic Tower, then it was renamed to Magic Castle. Magic Tower/Magic Castle eventually became Magic Crusade.
		- Snick was replaced with Aspen Pellot (in his raccoon design), Tail was replaced with Penny Pellot (in her fox design), Boots is replaced with Ashley The Tomboy Tomcat and Snick's gang and Golly Gopher's cartoon gang were removed. In July 29, Aspen Pellot, Penny Pellot, and Ashley The Tomboy Tomcat were replaced with Dash The Raccoon, Penelope "Penny" Mariana, and Tough The Cat.
			* Starting with the development of the second build for Magic Crusade, this game became a Role Swap AU of Pizza Tower where Peppino and Snick swap roles.
				+ After when Aspen didn't think that Role Swap AU works, Magic Crusade became a Clone-Coexistence AU of Pizza Tower.
* Magic Crusade is also inspired by Sonic The Hedgehog appearing as a fighter in the Super Smash Bros. games.
* Dorkfishie hates Arson Emblem due to being based upon a real-world event, and wants it removed from the game completely, or at least rewritten to avoid the event entirely.
	+ She also hates Go!Animate and Gacha characters in Magic Crusade due to it making no sense with the game's Disney inspiration. When the Magic Crusade website said that it would remove character creator tributes, she thought it would remove both Go!Animate and Gacha characters; however, later edits disproved this.
	+ The inclusion of Yandere Simulator also infuriated her, due to it being added in the game after Yandere Dev was exposed for grooming minors.
