The reason I never beat the game is that it’s really unforgiving There are occasionally gimmicks, like a bin on your head inverting the controls, but that’s largely it. You add to your score, or you pick up extra lives, by picking up some of the 100 cans of Pepsi scattered around the level. You’ve a simple move set – you can move from side to side, sprint, jump, and slide, and the objective is simply to make it to the end of the level before the timer runs out, or before you run out of lives.
It’s an on-rails runner akin to something like Temple Run – Pepsiman is always on the move, and the player must react to whatever comes their way. Gameplay-wise, Pepsiman is comparatively simple to grasp. But it also gave me the chance to finally complete a game that I never beat as a kid, and explore truly how weird the whole experience is. I’ve re-explored classics like the Crash games, Spyro, PaRappa the Rapper… the list could go on.

Pepsiman's death in the vat of orange soda is a reference to T-1000's death in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Pepsiman being fearful of and harmed by Mentos is a reference to Mentos causing some cola drinks to expand and fizz uncontrollably. Pepsiman makes a cameo appearance during Mortal Kombat Rip-Offs episode of game Shadow in Panasonic 3DO and Nerd inspire the final boss is similar to Pepsiman. Butters asks The Nerd to push him into the orange soda vat by lowering him in with chains, but The Nerd just pushes him in. Mike Butters tells The Nerd that there's "only one Pepsiman left", which is himself. After a brief fight with The Nerd and Pepsiman, Mike Butters reappears with a "Mentos bazooka" and blasts Pepsiman into a vat of orange soda, killing him. The Nerd escapes to a Coca-Cola factory where Pepsiman can be defeated. This leaves Mike Butters still alive, but in the process of slowly turning into Pepsi himself. Butters wards him off briefly with two rolls of Mentos, but he soon retaliates by firing a beam of energy at Butters. When Mike Butters appears in the episode, he explains to The Nerd how Pepsiman ruined his life by turning his healthy food, wife and kids into Pepsi cans. The Nerd gives in and plays the game in hopes of being left alone afterwards. He can be damaged by being hit with Mentos.ĭuring the Pepsiman (PS1) episode, he randomly appears sitting on The Nerd's couch, transforming games that the latter holds up into the Pepsiman game for the Playstation, in hopes to get The Nerd to play the game. The Nerd explains that Pepsiman can only create Pepsi drinks for others, but not himself, which causes Pepsiman's head to sink in shame when this is said. He has the power to transform into any object or person into either a Pepsi drink or the Pepsiman (PS1) game. Similar to Jason Voorhees, he does not speak, but instead makes random screech noises to communicate anger or distress. Pepsiman is a character seen in an episode of the same name in the Angry Video Game Nerd series, potrayed by Xander Arnot.
