who's better Peppino or the Noise?

I'd have to say snick actually. Obscure but good

Noise completely trivializes the bosses, and once you get the hang of his moves, hes really fun to use, so he wins for me.

Noise feels like he has more depth to his movement, since you can move around more freely than peppino but you have to press more buttons. I like that, he's my favorite

Peppino, Noise is still EXTREMELY fun but Peppino has a more solid wallclimb

[Blazikenowen]

peppino because hes the main character and also a pizzarias version of wario

I love how frantic The Noise is to play. The game's still great vanilla, but he's honestly put it on another level for me

[boitenint]

noise is better in everything but wall climb and dive so noise

I think The Noise is superior, since you can build Mach 3 faster; start up the sprint, jump, go into tornado and then out of it, and boom. You’re now sprinting.

Also the only issue with The Noise is not having a wall climb, but the wall bounce for The Noise, is a pretty good way to build up speed as well. So yeah, The Noise is better.

I love Peppino, but the Noise's move-set is just so TIGHT! I love his Sonic Mania-esque drop dash. Peppino will always have a special place in my heart, but Noise is my fav.

Same man, his moveset is so cool.

The Noise is much more floaty and spazmatic than peppino. That isn't nessicarly a good thing, but i'd say personal prefrence.

[segios]

i mean why not play BOTH

Noise is better than Peppino in basically every way. His moveset is far more powerful, especially his tornado attack (which is a straight upgrade to Peppino's shoddy dive bomb, seeing how it works instantly, does not require an uncomfortable button combo, can move anywhere and is almost invincible, and builds up Mach 3 instantly), his faux-double-jump "uppercut", his piledrive (which downright allows Noise to fly indefinitely), and his ability to superjump freely, which trivializes a lot of parts of the game.
All his transformations are superior to Peppino's as long as you use them correctly (for instance, Knight/Paladin Noise instantly bouncing makes him far better to keep the pace up compared to Knight Peppino; or Tiny Noise, who has free movement range compared to Pizza Box Peppino, which already was one of Peppino's best transformations).
Noise also cheeses all of the bosses: Pepperman is far more controllable because of the high uppercut and the Noise Bombs allow for his mini form to be beaten without a struggle; Vigilante is easily combo-ed and you only really need to pay attention to the Ghost Farmers, plus Noise cheats at the showdown; Doise is a free P, and even in his actual boss fight he is worse than the original Noise fight because his rocks pose no threat compared to the Noise Bombs, which were one of the biggest threats in the original fight; Fake Peppino struggles with long-range attacks and his escape sequence is again cheatable; and Pizzaface lacks Doise in his fight whilst also having Super Noise, who is obviously superior to slightly more powerful Peppino.
And should we even get into how many levels are completely cheated on by Noise? The Noise Goblins in Gnome Forest being peaceful, Gustavo not existing (which means that players do not have to deal with Gustavo's sidegrade moveset, since Noise just combines the best of each world, which allows for easy cheesing), most timer-based challenges being removed (Horseys, Gnome Pizza deliveries to Gustavo's familiars...), RRF giving you the Devil's Pizza power from the start PERMANENTLY (even in Lap 2) while also upgrading it to be a screen-clearer if you actually bother to go to the Devil's Pizza room instead of just sequence skipping to John, Peppibot Factory having the water bucket which disables outlet tiles, War & Don't Make A Sound having the overpowered Minigun...

Note that I do not hate the Noise for this, in fact he's much more fun to play than Peppino and he does struggle more specifically in Bloodsauce Dungeon when going for a P (though the swap mode invalidates this). It's clear that Noise mode is just easy power-fantasy mode for players wanting a broken experience after finishing the base game, and boy does it deliver. I genuinely do not see myself going back to Peppino (even in swap mode) unless I want an actual challenge.
