As an aside, I appreciate how keenly articulate you are when speaking. You're a very good speaker. Your voice is very easy to listen to.
Thank you!

tru
what I love about Pizza Time is that it always makes me feel panicked and tense, but never out of control or helpless in it.
its a tension with direction rather than feeling helpless.
which makes it more fun to blast through levels once you can ride that tension with confidence rather than wade through it with confusion
i love this
im such trash at this game. i melt into useless dog shit when pizza time starts
I imagine myself playing that part like
gamer lean, barely blinking, sweating bullets, with huge goofy smile on my face!
I once heard a really good descriptor for the first two songs:
"It's Pizza Time!" is the theme song of trying to outrun certain death
While "The Death That I Deservioli" is the theme song of _daring death to catch you if it can_
oooh, i LIKE this!
Meanwhile the lap three theme: What the hell do you think you're doing?!
Oh damn that's good
took it from that one comment didn't ya?
â@@Danunation3 "I once heard a really good descriptor for the first two songs"
Pizza Time plays during the timed escape sequence. The game switches to frantic portion (10:54) when you're low on time, so the Mario comparison is a good example, though I guess it's more dynamic in this case.
Not to be THAT GUY but uhh actually a good comparison would be the Wario platformer games
@@BlackdragonTheShadow I don't remember Wario Land 4 having a frantic phase at the end, it just plays it until you hit 0 at which point it plays a very sad song as you lose your money.
@@Dukstless you hit the frog switch and have to do an escape sequence but the song is not really frantic itâs more creepy
All the escape themes just play out as time passes; there are no "low on time" transitions. Pizza Time plays during the regular escape and will play out until the player either escapes, enters the lap 2 portal, or runs out of time and gets caught by pizzaface. Death that I Deservioli plays during lap 2, and will play out fully until the player either leaves or gets caught by pizzaface, again. Some levels have very long escapes and its possible to get the songs to loop.
@@Baesili It switches to the frantic part at the end when you have around a minute left, regardless of the level.
That earworm you pointed out in It's Pizza Time is a leitmotif that shows up damn near _everywhere._ Sauceman figured out _real_ quick that he had a hit on his hands and he put it to good use.
The man just starts making a cover live and it bangs too
Damn
Damn
Hot damn

The moment the bass was dropped In TDTID I was absolutely blown away by your performance. Your violin is beyond fantastic.

Wayne has a good taste in music so this a good compliment

"It's Pizza Time" plays during the regular escape sequence, however there's an optional challenge known as Lap 2 where you can go through the escape a whole second time for a better rank, "The Death That I Deservioli" plays during Lap 2.
The kicker here:
You do not get extra time to escape (save for one level).
@@Resetium war?
@@legion7768 yeah, you only get more time there cause you start on fuckin 40
@@Resetium god that level is hard
@@absoluteagony I mean, it's the last level, so...
As an audio engineer and gamer, this channel is a delight to watch! not only for the thoughtful breakdown but also your playing! new sub
High five!
if u plan on doing more Pizza Tower videos, i highly recommend these songs
-Cold Spaghetti (Pizzascape)
-Oregano Desert
-Bye Bye There! (Crumbling Tower of Pizza)
-Unexpectancy 1 through 3 (9 minute song + its the final boss theme so spoiler warning)
Thousand March would also a pretty good song from the ost
Tunnely Shimbers right there:
Oooh, Cold Spaghetti was THE Pizza Tower theme for me! Oregano Desert was also a banger!
Death I Deservioli is a banger
Pizza Engineer. (Peppibot Factory, part 1)
Wow, I love how this OST sounds!! It sounds retro but new at the same time. And your improvs were epics as usual!!
Thank you very much Fira!
When SPG's eyes go wide you know that you're in for an amazing track. I love SO MUCH when SPG goes into nostalgia and talks about how the influence of the past make new interesting songs today. I really feel like I learn something every time he makes a video! This is so awesome! But of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from the mega awesome SPG!

it's worth noting that Death I Deservioli is also an escape theme alongside Pizza Time, Pizza Time being during the initial escape of fleeing back to the start of the level in like a three or so minute timer. Death I Deservioli plays if you decide to tempt fate and go for Lap 2, blasting your way through the level a second time with whatever's left on your clock, risking everything for that delicious P for Pizza. a Strong Escape Sequence for a loving Warioland-esque game
It's Pizza Time is sooo good, but TDTID just hits absolutely different in game. Jumping into that Lap 2 portal and seeing that "P" pop up instead of an S, noticing you might not have enough time to make it to the end before showtime, and the banging of that Lap 2 bell is just pure perfection for a P rank buildup. I genuinely couldn't think of a better track to fit that feeling of orderly chaos.
When I first heard these tracks I initially thought this ost wasnât for me, but apparently i just didnât listen long enough, these are very cool songs and i can see why they are so popular
you absolutely need to check out Unexpectancy (parts 1-3) from this game, it has some of the most unique stuff in the soundtrack
If you're a fan of jazz fusion, I think you'd like the soundtrack to Breath of Fire 3. It has an interesting jazzy element to it that I dig. Especially the song To A Distant Place, the second overworld theme.
OMG YES! I love that game! I spent 100+ hours grinding. You are right, the OST there is amazing jazz fusion!
Your analysis on the soundtrack is spot on! I'm in game development and music is always one of the most fun moments of the production. Hearing you exemplify and review a soundtrack I immediately felt was prize worthy is inspiring. And your additional "notes" also rock!
Thank you so much! Also love the JoJo reference. ;)
That section of It's Pizza Time where it gets really fast then winds down after a while reminds me a lot of how the PS1 rhythm game Vib-Ribbon liked to mess with tempo with the purpose of adding difficulty to the gameplay
Particularly, it reminds me of the track "Overflowing Emotions", which similarly is mostly a pretty average and easy to follow tempo, until it hits a certain point, then it goes absolutely crazy
I love how this game's instrumentation is so varied. A single song will use traditional instrumentation, alongside chiptunes (I'm pretty sure both NES and GB are used, depends on the track-Pepperman's theme is definitely using a GB), samples, and nostalgic late 80s/early 90s synthesizer voices. It makes it definitely sound like a classic video game OST, but at the same time a modern one, playing at the same time in perfect harmony. It brings you back to 1992 but keeps you here in the present too, in a way that feels like it's expanding your ability to experience aural pleasure. Like, double the sweet tunes for the same low, low price. That's what it feels like to me.
I love how you canât play for five seconds without cracking a smile, really shows how much you enjoy this stuff
i just love how "It's Pizza Time" is "F*CK WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE"
when "The Death That I Deservioli" is "Catch me if you can!"
what a rad violin you have, looks like it can fire lasers.
Pew pew pew
3:40 I am in love with this version because your instrument gives such a clean transition into the cool ass overdrive guitar
Just throwing it out there, I would LOVE to hear a full epic string cover of It's Pizza Time from you!
Funny you mention that...
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial đČđ
"It's pizza time" look out from the pizza face
Heck yeah! I suggested pizza tower!
Excited to hear your thoughts on the songs
Thank you for suggesting it!
â@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial NP!
If you do a part 2, I'd highly reccomend "Pumpin' Hot Stuff", "Pizza Time Never Ends" and "Unexpectancy" (all 3 parts of that last one in order ideally, they're all amazing)
I have never seen an electric violin before and did NOT expect you to bust it out and play with the music.
you should give fast food saloon and unexpectancy a listen, I love how catchy the whistle is in fast food saloon, unexpectancy on the other hand, being the final boss battle theme, itâs amazing. Hopefully you make more videos reacting to the OST of pizza tower!
the last part of "its pizza time" is literally just a ticking clock for 5-10 seconds
Pizza Tower has so many great songs, so far my favourites are Calzonification, Hot Spaghetti, Cold Spaghetti, Thousand March, Way Of The Pig, of course It's Pizza Time and The Death That I Deservioli, Yeehaw Deliveryboy, Oregano Mirage, Pizza Deluxe, Unexpectancy (which is like 9 minutes long), Pumpin' Hot Stuff and Pepperman Strikes
so yeah... i'm in love with the soundtrack
I absolutely love "Pizza Time Never Ends!" but I don't want to show it to people in case I give them spoilers
Iâve been rocking out to Thereâs a bone in My Spaghetti!
I'm absolutely jamming to On The Rocks tbh.
Unpopular opinion, but i really like tombstone arizona
@@herus1 yup, same, one of the best songs in the OST
Tombstone Arizona and Thousand March are my favorite tracks from the game, but honestly the whole thing is just incredible from start to finish. You can't go wrong with any of it lol.
I still can't tell what my favorite track is yet. All are so good
Each song in this gameâs ost fits so well. They all have a reason, and it just flows.
Either if youâre on the clock to get back to the entrance, or just relaxing in the stages.
It all feels so good.
With content in it's pizza time! The fact that you're in a rush and it gets harder when the song ends the tension really nicely works together.
That's why you NEED to watch a FULL playthrough to really understand the music.
Nah.
@@valentinaalex1262 I mean you can understand a ton of music by just listening to it
C'mon man, please tell me you even considered the ULTRAKILL sound track. Heaven Pierce Her (Arsi "Hakita" Patala) really puts their effort into their sound track and really makes them fit into the game and memerable.
that's some genuine enjoyment I see from that smile and body movement. the entirety of Pizza Tower is chalk-full of bops and bangers and I highly recommend checking out the rest of the ost. I'm happy you decided to react to some of the songs, this is definitely my GOTY.
the game is based on basically most media from the 90's, this being reflected in the art style (think ren & stimpy, courage the cowardly dog stuff). this is why you hear so many nostalgic things in this soundtrack! unfortunately i don't experience this since i didn't exist then ;-;
also the vvvvvv soundtrack is a really cool modern chiptune ost i recommend it a lot
I love how chaotic yet still understandable and good they sound, especially pizza time
This was so well thought and well explained, and even with a calming voice? I can't wait to see more!
this was really engaging! love hearing you break down the parts of the songs, as someone trying to get into music production myself it feels really insightful!! for recommendations... i know you've done some touhou a long time ago, but if you havent, i think itd be really cool to see your reaction to "Secret God Matara ~ Hidden Star in All Seasons", "Memento of All Organisms ~ Memory of Fossil Energy", and "Where is that Bustling Marketplace Now? ~ Immemorial Marketeers" from 16, 17.5, and 18 respectively :)
Its pretty crazy how all 3 of the songs are from the FIRST WORLD of Pizza Tower (It's Pizza Time: the theme that plays after you destroy the Pillar John. The Death that I Deservioli: the theme of Lap 2, the optional redo of the escape sequence. And of course Pepperman's theme aka the World 1 Boss)
I love how that you're adding your own rhythm to the songs yet going with the beat!
wow, this video is turning 1 years old in 5 days, thats crazy! i remember when it was first posted. time really does fly i guess.
Wario in the background makes this video very fitting
I love the way Workman put it when describing It's Pizza Time! and The Death that I Deservioli in the comments of the latter:
Lap 1: The theme of running for your life from certain death.
Lap 2: The theme of daring Death to catch you if he can.
this is such a cool video! i love how you put in your own melodies for the songs
Damn, your strings were on point! Very well played! Like, it sounds like a metal violin, it's crazy! I've never heard or seen anything like it! It's really good!
The death I deservioli is played when you dare to run though the course again for lap 2 with the remaining time left on the timer and daring the villain pizza face to catch you if he can
The Death I Deservioli is lap 2, where you go back to the start of the escape for another go at it on just the time you have left.
Once the timer runs out, you get chased by a floating pizza with a face (named pizzaface, fittingly) who will kick you out of the level of he touches you
The one I go back to most is Tombstone Arizona, those guitars are to die for
My jaw drops every time you play that electric violin wow đŻ So glad your page showed up in my recommended
This video was great!!
If you ever do more Pizza Tower videos, I'd love for you to check out "Bite the Crust" (Pig City's first level theme)
Thanks for the idea!
way of the pig too may as well do both pig city themes
@@NovasNewGroove and also all 3 refrigerator-refrigerador-freezerator themes (Don't Preheat Your Oven Because If You Do The Song Won't Play, Celsius Troubles, and _(PLEASE THIS ONE-->)_ On the Rocks _(
OK, wow - that violin you added at 4:02 was GOOD.
Just wanted to say that.
Itâs worth mentioning that the game samples a ton of sounds from WarioLand 4, which itself was insanely impressive for sampling so many sound effects and cramming them all into one game boy advance cartridge. Game recognizes game.
Wonderful video! Iâve never heard of you before, but this video was extremely entertaining, I will certainly be coming back for more!
Iâm curious to see what you think of more music from pizza tower, such as âpizza deluxeâ (the main menu theme),âpumpin hot stuffâ (another boss theme), and âunexpectancyâ parts 1, 2, and 3 (the final boss theme(
Welcome aboard!
Dude oh my fucking god, PLEASE upload those covers so we can have em on loop!
Not only did you give me new ways to appreciate that music but you ALSO played along on violin that's rad
if you need some pizza tower OST recommendations, since you left out regular stage themes in this video, my top 5 in no particular order are:
- Extraterrestrial Wahwahs
- Tropical Crust
- Tombstone Arizona
- Thousand March
- Way of the Pig
If you want more Videogame music recommendations I recommend Super Paper Mario
Mainly âReady, Go!â âIâm not Niceâ âMr.L, green thunderâ âBro botâ âitâs show timeâ âchampion of destructionâ and âThe Ultimate showâ
Thereâs also âOâchunks, warriorâ
I like it when people react to music and they start talking about big music related words
Love the Wario plush in the background since Pizza Tower is basically a Wario Land 4 spiritual successor and was inspired by the Wario Land games.
This cover NUTS! Thank you for sharing it with us!
the thing about It's Pizza Time and The Death that I Deservioli, that i've seen among the community for Pizza Tower, is that "It's Pizza Time" is the theme of a man running from death, while "The Death That I Deservioli" only plays if you go BACK INTO the level, as sort of the game humoring you for having the audacity to *dare death to catch you if it can.*
I really want to hear you play along with an entire song on the violin, you really supplement the song
Honestly, The Death I Deserveolli, i get Wolf Mother: Joker and The Thief's opener before it goes into a retro speed rock, which i love that cause it fits the motive behind the song, youre inviting the danger by being daring with it, taking a second lap around the entire map with a very short timer.
The fact that the music is vibe when you are not getting chased by a FUCKING PIZZA
Cant wait for the covers ;)
I would love you to look at a couple more from the rest of the game, since there's a ton of unique tracks in Pizza Tower
Subscribed as soon as you broke out the Violin. Fantastic stuff.
Unexpectancy 1-3 is beyond amazing, I definitely suggest checking them out.
stuck in head for days is a fucking understatement, i just recently heard of it a week ago and i CANNOT get it out of my head
Man I canât unhear the lyrics in my head that recD made if only thereâs a chance he can hear the lyrics
The OST has two themes
"I am going to die"
"You are all going to die"
Pizza time đ
Great music once again đđŒ
He did pizza time during a live stream. And it was amazing
PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS its also good
I'm thinking of a Theme Song for my OC of this game; My OC's name is Pinella Coconut and I'm thinking of naming her theme "Hawaiian Hope". The reasons for that is 1 Pinella is a Hawaiian captured by Pizzahead and Pizzaface, who destroyed her bar during war-time(Peppino found newspaper of it while fighting in war), and 2 she regained hope when Peppino, the MC of the game freed her from her cell. the song would have unexpectancy motifs and notes usually heard in luaus; plus the feeling that's similar to the feeling "Part of that World" from Disney's Little Mermaid gave. I would happily be in PURE JOY if at least 1 of my OCs appear in at least 1 game! though I wouldn't know how to send them the picture or description of my OCs headcanons. :( oh well; a girl can dream. :D
I love listening to this man play the violin. I could sit there and listen to his violin all day
i'd really also checking out sugary sipre's music, it's a pizza tower fangame, and its music is just as funky, esepcially the escape themes
why is he so buff? i just clicked for funny pizza tower and got greeted by the buffest gamer ever
It's all the years of carrying my teammates.
The sound fonts are really familiar to me. Been trying to place them. The soundtrack definitely sounds 90s inspired. Great combo on the composerâs part!
Jazz Fusion! That's the name I was looking for! It's one of my favorites too, but I never knew what the name for it was!
When you talked about that orchestral hit I felt seen.
Same
If you're looking for something that explores quite a variety of musical inspirations, I might suggest checking out Freedom Planet 1 and 2. Both have strong Sonic influence but you can hear cues taken from many other styles. In the first game they kept that musical whiplash of going from Act 1 to Act 2 similar to Sonic 3&K, with complete tone shifts like "mystery" to "discovery" while keeping the same melody in Relic Maze, in the second game the artist admitted she wanted to have sets of stages being self-referential with melody to themselves, but reworks had her drop that idea (although it can still be heard in parts such as in Avian Museum). I love the mood change from Western of Dragon Valley 1 from FP1 to Space Western of Dragon Valley in FP2, giving me a strong Cowboy bebop feel.
*cough* sorry I'm just enthusiast about music.
I literally remember this dude making the lawn theme in acapella from PvZ 1 đ
Other than Pizza Time my other favourite is Thousand March from the level War and itâs so good. Especially in-game with itâs unique level gimmick of a constant count down instead of having to destroy Pillar John then run back. And in the level, the song doesnât start till you pick up the shotgun (which you have to pick up to remove special blocks to start the level proper).
I am pretty good at playing music, but I canât explain or really understand all the intricacies of it. So Iâm glad thereâs channels like this! Good video!
freakin vibed with it so much. top tier musical content.
I may be a new fan, but I gotta say, you are by far one of my favorite music CZcamsrs
god damn! you free styled so hard, really cool
I would love to see you do the yakuza series ost. As a guitar player, you'll really enjoy the soundtrack as it's got a lot of metal and grunge guitar mixed with techno with the occasional powerful orchestra and it sounds awesome. songs I would recommend would be: light and darkness(Ism), Yakuza 0 opening theme, Fly and Baka Mitai
I'd like to hear his thoughts and reactions on A Scattered Memory
penumbra
I wonder if you could do the Crosscode videogame soundtrack evaluation, got some interesting songs in the OST there. I haven't played pizzatower but i like the music for now and gameplay i've seen
If youre interested in more songs similar to pizza tower, there's two Id recommend which is Antonblast and sugary spire, anton is more wario-y like and sugary spire is like pizza tower but taking in a different take, both are in a state of demos but have some songs,
I recommend listening to oregano marriage or oregano desert. It's amazing.
amazing violin performance btw!
Origano mirage is the song in origano desert (level) so its the same thing
The death I diservioli is there definition of I am quite literally running late for work
And this fits gameplay so well. You just rush forward and "F**K EVERYTHING IN THAT DIRECTION".
for some reason at around 3:05 reminds me so much from the cardiacs or the feel they created there
He didnât notice that the ticking in pizza time was actually a clock to represent âITS ALMOST SHOWTIME!â
The orchestral hit you got giddy about was also used mainlly in late 80's early 90's motown swing music made popular by New Edition.
Taking a great sound track, and making it better, i like your style
at first i thought this was an ordinary clickbait style of video with a generic commentator, that was until i saw that you actually added on to the music with your own tribute, and i noticed how educated the commentary was on the music itself.
Happy to surprise. :D
I love the comparison I've seen one person make:
It's Pizza Time: Running for your life because you're about to die
The Death That I Deservioli: Daring death to catch you if it can
Nice analysis and musical cover!
