“Go to Hell”

[Intransigent Jackanape Steward]

A pizza NPC hints that damaging poor protagonist too many times will send you to Hell. The game also displays a message every 10th instance of damage accompanied by increasingly sick, twisted, and altogether demented artwork that made me question my sanity. I got up to 100 instances of damage and my controller rumbled me to my bones, but alas, the counter stopped counting. (I was also looking at my phone so I may have missed a popup message). I suspect you may have to get hit 666 times for some special unlock but I haven’t tested this hypothesis yet. I will test eventually when I muster the mental fortitude to delve deeper into the madness

the per level hit counter has no milestones past 100
went past 1000 in one level and nothing
different hit thresholds might trigger ending differences but thats probably as far as that goes

Fascinating... Your contributions to the field will be studied by generations of disciples

I also did this because it seemed like an obvious hint towards a secret, maybe a costume. I did see later the sign that said "welcome to hell" in bloodsauce dungeon so maybe it would need to be done there? But also that took a long time and I don't want to test it myself.

Tried it there, nothing different it seems.

my dad is the developer, he showed me if you hurt peppino 2700 times you unlock the hell level and when you beat it you unlock the noise.

I think it's more like an insult, rather than a literal thing. But I have wondered about that, everyone just seems to gloss over it.

they mean you actually get damned


why would you hurt peppino like this

[Linc]

The sign was clearly talking about real life

For scientific purposes

I think this is a jab at all those creepy pastas or something like the whole "L is Real" stuff that was prevalent in games in the late 80s to the late 90s. The game already does it with the file-select jumscare and the "You've hurt Peppino X times..." with the creepy pasta-esque images shown on the TV lean into that "my game was haunted and Mario with bloody eyes took my Kidney".
