Pizza Tower Speedrunning: Movement Tech Guide

Hi.
In this guide I'll teach you some of pizza tower's advanced movement tech (in speedrunning). I never saw someone explaining them in a single video, so i made this one.
Do note that i only use keyboard, so this guide might be a little inconsistent for controller.
Also, if you could share or comment on this video it would be very appreciated, since it will reach to more people if you do so, considering how the algorithm sucks
Intro - 0:00
Mach launch - 0:46
Instaturn (and fast walk) - 1:51
Fast Fall - 4:31
High Jump - 6:07
Bindings - 7:58
Outro - 8:30
started [14/01] ; finished [18/01]
anyways, thats pretty much it.
cya

Who else watches this knowing full well they are probably not going to use half of them, either because they just don't want to or can't?
Great video anyways :)

🙋 I just got the game like a week ago but here I am lmfao

[@NotIMPOSSABLANK]

I'm gonna add that if you're going for pause buffered instaturns you can bind whatever your run button is to "back" in the bind menu so that just pressing the run button will unpause, this not only makes instaturns a lot easier (once you get used to it) but also a lot faster and easier to jump out of, alternatively you can set left and right to back instead of run if that's easier for you.

[@GNReteleD]

I mentioned in my edited comment, didn't put left and right because i forgot that you can just bind to "back" and not "confirm" cuz it fucks up the save file menu, already fixed it tho
Congrats on the WRs btw

[@GGF384]

how do i bind fast fall??

[@rwd9020]

Make the grab and down with the same button u want in the bind settings and then when u want to do it press the button and twirl

[@GNReteleD]

VERY IMPORTANT: Multibinding only works if the game is on a version after the hallowen update, since they were introduced there. That also means some mods will not have this feature (CYOP for example).
Extra notes: you can bind left & right OR dash (NOT BOTH) to "back", wich can make instaturns easier and quicker if you get the hang of it.
Also i have no idea what happened at 3:46

Recording error moment

[@JohnyCanoni]

I accidentally did the Mach launch on Oregano Desert but had no idea as to wth I had just done.

[@kotyara_myaunskiy]

some of these moves arent an error in coding but are gamemaker engine playing 2 codes at the same time, and the code that sets the player's state(state is the thing used in pizza tower to check what move should the player do: jump normal punch(uppercut) and etc) is the one that makes the game do that, for example:
in the fast fall, the reason why it makes you fall fast is due to the dive, game makes the player's vsp(vertical speed) to the one that's used in the dive(10) and because code for the handstand(grab) has the state variable set to its state is before the one that is in the dive, it makes you do the fast fall
sorry if its too complicated to understand

[@alex_does_stuff9199]

the multibinding thing is actually so sick i might try that,,

[@CrownedIndieVisual]

Idk if this would help anymore, since I’m late, but you can actually keep momentum when high jumping to the left.
Instead of holding up, jump, grab and run at the same time, when you taunt (Because that’s easiest for me), hold the opposite direction you wanna run, hold run and then hit jump. Peppino will keep his speed, Mach’s 1, 2, 3 and 4. It’s more useful for 3 specifically because it does make you REALLY fast on mach 4, and it’s more useful to do a normal high jump at mach’s 1 and 2. Hope this helps for anyone who hasn’t found out a way yet!

Tbh I think these would make mods like lap hell a lot easier, I wanna eventually see a speed runner attempt it, with their advanced moves and such

Awesome video!!! ❤

[@NunofYerbizness]

I still wonder if any speedrunners have done the one trick that makes the player fall quicker when exiting a pizzabox, during one of their runs; All that's required is for the player to press down at the exact same frame the next room loads after the player falls out the other end of the box (this can be easily practiced in either John Gutter, or the tutorial stage). Even without the Floor 5 skip, this frame-perfect fast-drop could save a handful of seconds if it were to be performed for every pizzabox the players falls down from.

[@duncanchillake8024]

You're a genius, this one isn't even on the speedrun wiki (which this video reads off of)

[@thereaIyoshi]

that's not exactly how that glitch works, you only get the fast fall if you enter the pizzabox from a very precise spot while also having vertical momentum, it's way too precise to be done consistently tho so most of the time you just get it like 10% of the time in runs (if you're actively going for it).

[@duncanchillake8024]

@@thereaIyoshi it's actually weirdly consistent with the noise's tornado

[@lapapahacker5402]

i had an idea of making this too, but you did it epicly

[@cakesrus3852]

Thanks bud, it helped alot

[@takiallahjamai]

something fun i might add: quick mach
quick mach lets you reach mach 3 faster by a few frames
basically just jump
at the last 3 frames before touching the ground (choose one of the 3 frames if you want) grab (or down grab) and mach run normally

[@ivanyngaruca940]

This is gold

[@Nerfnaut9]

ok nice i can use this to speed run the first level for my personal time

[@Solomonophone]

How do you updog? you didn't explain it to well

[@GNReteleD]

You uppercut in a low ceiling area while having speed and then change directions mid uppercut
Watch the overlay in the corner if you're still confused

[@ChunkyM0nkey6]

thank you@@GNReteleD

[@funt1mix]

love u.

[@irfugh5707]

This will help a lot to the speedrun beginner players, I didn't know about multibinding, how do I do that?

[@carrotgod3974]

say you want to bind fastfall, which would be grab and down. If you want to bind it to the a button then you would go controls menu and add the a button as a bind for both grab and down, then when you press a it would do both actions

[@irfugh5707]

@@carrotgod3974 but that's something I can find in original pizza tower? Or I need to make it with an external program

[@carrotgod3974]

@@irfugh5707it’s in the original game, it’s very unintuitive though
there’s the controls menu in settings, each action has a bind attached to it however you can add multiple binds for each action, so for actions such as fast fall which need multiple actions you would simply add a bind to both of those actions, in this case down and grab

[@irfugh5707]

instaturn doesnt need you yo be in the air for it to work

[@rogueplayer8192]

I thought i wouldn't be able to do any other moves except for insta turn, but with multi keybind i was able to do fast fall and a down grab. Tho i am never going to master High Jump, neither Mach Launch. Also now im curious, if someone has a great acknowledge about Pizza Tower Programming, could that person explain why High Jumping to the left doesn't conserve momentum?

[@h-Films]

High jump doesn't work for me when binded

[@bubbles3914]

highjump still doesnt make sense whenever i do it do i have to hold mach when i do the muilit bind thing? or realse everything then press it

[@CrownedIndieVisual]

I mean I just binded it to a button on my controlled that I don’t use, so high jumping would be easier for me

[@BernardoCoisas]

Whats the musics?

[@modmaniamadness713]

When looking at Bindings, you had multiple things bound to the same action. Is this truly possible in the base game?

[@GNReteleD]

Yes, the version of the game needs to be after the hallowen update tho, so some mods might not have that yet

thank you so fucking much dude

so for your down arrow put it as something like v or q and dash the same input as the first one and boom it works

thanks! but does it also work with controller lol@@bubbles3914
