16In the game, you play as a giant pizza, and your mission is to destroy all the skeletons by either rolling over them, or jumping/slamming down on them from above. There are a variety of missions, ranging from "defeat X number of enemies" to "reach the end of the level" to "bring three puppies back". And of course, there are also bosses to battle by pushing them off of the stage.

23* AnthropomorphicFood: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As stated in the title]], the protagonist is an anthropomorphic pizza.

28* DoubleJump: You can perform a double jump by jumping after you land on an enemy.
29* DressedToPlunder: You can buy a pirate hat and eyepatch for the skeleton to wear. Also, one of the bosses is a giant skull wearing a pirate bandanna and earring.
30* FloatingPlatforms: Mainly in the skiing, balancing, and bouncing levels.
31* GroundPound: You can perform this by tapping the screen while the pizza is in mid-air.
32* LevelGoal: The skiing levels have a giant skull snowman the pizza has to run over, and the balancing levels have a giant gong that destroys the skull to complete the level.
33* [[spoiler:MechaMooks]]: [[spoiler:One of the enemies encountered later in the game include wind-up fire-breathing robots.]]
34* MouthStitchedShut: One of the CharacterCustomization options you can put on the pizza.

36* PurelyAestheticGender: Some of the customization options include female lips.
37* SideView: How the game's viewed.
