Pepperman was made a playable character along with The Noise and The Vigilante before becoming a boss for the second time, but the playable part was scrapped due to McPig thinking it was weird to have half the playable cast be 'restricted' characters. If he gets hit four times, his color lightens, after another three hits, he turns yellow, yellow-white after an additional two hits, and one more hit after will defeat him. He changes color after getting hit a certain amount of times. He can also be shortly stunned from stomping on him. The player can stun him by charging into Pepperman or avoiding his attack by jumping over him, and then waiting until he stops after which he is vulnerable to be attacked. Pepperman's only attack is to charge towards Peppino. Once there, Pepperman will be preparing for the fight stomping the ground with his feet, until he starts attacking Peppino.

Pepperman will be waiting for Peppino atop of the tower's third floor. Once reaching the end of the chase segment, he slips on a banana peel that is placed at the end of the corridor, causing him to drop the key. On the way, there are many Pepper Blocks that only he could break by charging into them.

He also appears to work in the Mansion if modded into the SAGE 2019 Demo where instead of battling the player directly, he chases them down in a chase segment. Pepperman first appeared in Halloween Demo 2018 (Demo 1), in which he was the final boss.
