Peppino Spaghetti

Peppino is the anti-hero protagonist of the game Pizza Tower, a spiritual successor to the Wario Land franchise inspired aesthetically by the Earthworm Jim franchise, as well as classic cartoons such as Courage the Cowardly Dog and SpongeBob SquarePants. Peppino makes an appearance as an Assist in Fraymakers.

Origin
Peppino Spaghetti is a slightly overweight and highly deranged pizza chef and owner of Peppino's Pizza. He has to climb and destroy the pizza towers owned by Pizzaface which are inhabited by a variety of strange creatures made of Italian foodstuffs.

Peppino has many abilities, but his main 4 are his dash, which allows him to build up momentum and even break through metal blocks; the grab, which he can use to punch out and suplex enemies; his Wario-esque shoulder bash; and his "taunt", a seemingly useless move that makes Peppino do a comical pose (often with references other media such as Street Fighter; Family Guy; or The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) but can wipe the screen of enemies if used after a combo.

Similarly to the Wario Land games, Peppino can undergo embarrassing transformations that serve either to hinder progress or help solve puzzles, said transformations can range from actual shapeshifting, such as into a ball or ghost, or picking up an object or character that changes how Peppino controls such as a bomb or Mort, the protagonist of the game Mort the Chicken.

The other playable characters in Pizza Tower are The Noise (a parody of Domino's Pizza's Noid mascot), The Vigilante (a fierce cowboy version of the Cheeseslime enemy) and Pepperman. (a giant pepper monster)

In Fraymakers
In Fraymakers, Peppino appears as an Assist character. He does a lunging grab and follows up with a giant punch, allowing his summoner to use him in order to start combos.

Trivia

 * In Fraymakers, Peppino uses the lunging grab, a move that has since been removed from Pizza Tower in favour of the shoulder bash.
