Rapunzel... Let Down Your "Sausage"??!

We have made it to 700,000 Subscribers! THANK YOU SO MUCH ** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** A little while ago, we solved a puzzle by Scojo on the channel which looked almost identical to this one - it was called Rapuzzle and was one of the most popular sudokus of recent times. Tonight we attempt a "tribute" to that puzzle from ThePedallingPianist called Rapuzzle, Rapuzzle, Let Down Your Sausage. It would be easy to find this title extremely suggestive and/or funny. In truth this is actually a superb puzzle in its own right and it's frankly ridiculous that it's somehow been achieved while looking almost identical to its progenitor! Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/wxbluqtoso Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by a single knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit. Tower Fortress: Cells that are part of the gray tower must be greater than all orthogonally adjacent non-tower cells. Note: any cell that the tower even partially covers is considered a fortress cell. Rapunzel's Sausage: The difference between the sums of two linked sausages on a chain must be exactly equal to the number of sausages in that chain. Rapunzel's Face: The digit on Rapunzel's face shows how many numbers of the opposite odd/even parity to itself appear on the whole sausage chain.
