Earlier demos had him able to enter this transformation at will, but it works like the other transformations in the final game.

Be the Ball: One of his transformations, Ball Peppino, forces him into a ball to roll constantly in one direction while bowling through anything in his way, until he hits a wall, at least.

Berserker Tears: In the final moments of the fight with Pizzahead, a Freeze-Frame Bonus as he piledrives the looney pizza-head from the sky show Peppino with tears in his eyes, finally letting loose an emotion that isn't anger or fear.

Eating ghost peppers will make him move steadily faster, with three allowing him to burst through certain blocks. Ghost Peppino can fly and move through graters, but loses out on a lot of his speed.

Bedsheet Ghost: Getting spooked to death by a Mushroom Ghost turns him into one.

He also uses his head to ram enemies when running at Mach 3.

Bald Head of Toughness: Downplayed as he still has some hair left, but one of Peppino's idle animations will have him perform a vaudeville dance during which he removes his chef hat, showing that the top of his dome is completely bald.

Badass in Distress: For a Nigh-Invulnerable Lightning Bruiser (at least for the normal levels), he spends the second half of The Pig City behind bars thanks to the pig cops, leaving Gustavo and Brick to pick up the slack.Angry Dance: Reaching a combo of 50 or higher causes him to burst into some sort of anxiety shuffle ◊ with his walking animation ◊ replaced with Moe Szyslak's Self-Defence Funk-Dance.Taken to his limits when he goes completely feral during the Boss Rush and completely decimates the various bosses. He's clearly highly stressed over having to travel through the titular tower, or the threat of his restaurant being destroyed by Pizzaface, or both, and vents that fear by getting angry enough to smash through enemies. Angry Chef: Peppino, a pizza chef, fluctuates between Unstoppable Rage and being a Nervous Wreck.Acrofatic: True to his inspiration, he has a rotund physique, and is able to run at high speeds, roll infinitely, destroy blocks, and jump high distances.An anxious and ill-tempered Italian owner of a failing pizza restaurant, he is on a quest to stop Pizzaface from blowing up his restaurant with a giant laser, and he won't hesitate to beat the sauce out of anyone or anything in his way. 'Okay you look-a right here! I baked that into a pizza ONCE and nobody can ever know.
