#zettel #gaming sourced from: [[Wow Pizza Tower is Wario Land 5]] # The John Pillars in [[Pizza Tower]] function exactly the same way Frog Switches do in [[Wario Land 4]] Braking the John Pillar near the end of each level and then having to race back through the level is exactly out of Wario Land 4 with the frog switches. In both games you now have a justifiable reason to race back through the level and taking new paths all while the game continuously gets more and more stressful until time runs out. When the timer runs out in Pizza Tower you die, whereas in Wario Land 4 you start losing money. I think this has to do with the faster pace of Pizza Tower in comparison to Wario Land 4 though. And like Wario Land 4, where [[The Frog Switches in Wario Land 4 are a Great Mechanic for Inducing Stress in a Familiar Space]], Pizza tower does this with the John Blocks.
