Introduction and Essential Knowledge
Welcome to the Pizza Tower Speedrun Wiki! This site exists as a resource and reference for players of all levels: From beginners wanting to get started to experienced players looking for the next new trick to incorporate into their runs. We hope that you'll be coming here often, either to learn more or to contribute your own findings.
While Pizza Tower has a small handful of tricks and skips, no single one of these saves a ridiculous amount of time. Therefore, don't worry about learning every trick in the wiki before starting, as most of your improvements will come from simply mastering your control over Peppino and introducing small optimizations to your movement over time.
That said, there's a handful of pages that we've labeled as essential knowledge. These mostly cover very simple tricks that save a ton of time or important terminology that gets tossed around often when discussing the game at a high level. For one reason or another, these are things that just about any runner of the game ought to know.

Debug Mode and Practice mod
The debug mode has a few handy commands that can make practice much easier. Furthermore, StackMan's practice mod adds several conveniences to this menu and introduces many other new functions, including save states. You can find instructions on how to enable and use these tools here. Remember that debug mode and mods are banned from use in runs. These tools are for practice only.
