Decided to do one of the greatest game of all time and the sequel of a FAQ I already did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Characters: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Roadkill "Marcus Kane": Biography: I know the truth you freak! You site back in you living room with your little video game console and play, play, play! But I know what's happening, I can see you! They think I'm crazy but you'll find out I'm the only one who's sane! Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Intermediate Armor: 2/5 Special Weapon: 3/5 Speed: 3/5 Ending: Calypso: The driver of Roadkill, a man named Marcus Kane, stepped out of his car and came face to face with me, the creator of Twisted Metal. Roadkill: They all call me crazy. They all say I'm insane, but I'm not. I know this isn't real. None of it is. I know it's all a dream. Please, Calypso, help me. Calypso: Ah, Marcus, I always knew you would be the one to figure it out. I will grant your wish, but please feel free to come back and visit us anytime, for the rest of your friends will be here for quite a while. (The scene goes black for a moment and Marcus' eyes flutter open to reveal the face of a doctor accompanied by three nurses.) Nurse: Doctor, he's awake! Doctor: Good God, son, you're alive! Why, you were in a twenty-five car pileup on the freeway. It's a wonder you've come back to us at all. The rest are still in comas. (Looks around and sees other drivers laying on surrounding hospital beds.) Roadkill: These people, they all look so familiar. I've seen them before...fought them before. But where? Ah, I can't remember. Child: Daddy, Daddy! Roadkill: Oh my God, my family! You're here! I'm Back! Everything's going to be all right! I promise! (The faint image of Calypso appears on the screen and vanishes.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) Twister "Amanda Watts": Biography: They say there's a place you can only get to by driving a certain speed. It's a place where time and space explode into another world. That's my goal. I want to find that place. When I win Twisted Metal, Calypso's giving me the road map. Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Ultra Tight Armor: 1/5 Special Weapon: 4/5 Speed: 5/5 Ending: Calypso: Amanda Watts raced across the rooftops of New York on the way to meet me, the one person who could make her ultimate wish come true. 'I need more speed,' she told me. 'I want to go faster than anyone ever has. As my prize give me the ability to drive at the speed of light.' With a wave of my arms I called upon my powers and granted Amanda Watts her ultimate wish. Moving faster than any person or object ever had, she broke through the barrier and found herself travelling through time. Amanda Watts, the world's first time traveller, had gotten her wish. She was on top of the world. But no one stays on top forever. (The car stops and Amanda notices the fuel gauge on empty. She gets out of her car and looks up to see a Tyrannosarus Rex raise its foot and drop it on her.) Calypso: Millions of years later the only trace of Amanda Watts and her Twisted Metal victory would be the fossilized helmet on display in the Nation Museum of History. To the world of science, a helmet so old became an issue of world- wide debate, a great mystery. But to me it was simply a cruel reminder of a woman obsessed with pushing the limits. I am Calypso and I thank you for playing Twisted Metal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Axel: Biography: For 20 years, I've been stuck in this hellish competitionl hiding and waiting for the day when I would be brave enough to fight back. If I win, I'm confronting the man who did this to me. I promise you, I won't be a freak forever. Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Intermediate Armor: 3/5 Special Weapon: 3/5 Speed: 2/5 Ending: Calypso: Axel stood before me and asked me for the one prize he wanted more than anything: the strength to face his father who had bound him in this hellish contraption over thirty years ago. (Scene changes to a barn house somewhere in the country. Axel is present and he opens the barn doors to reveal his father.) Axel's Father: Why have you come back? I thought I'd gotten rid of you. Axel: Father, please, release me. Axels Father: You were always too slow...too damn stupid, and you still are. It's going to take ten more years on the wheels to set you right. You need to be taught a lesson. Axel: No, father, I've learned my lesson. Let me show you what I've learned. (Axel screams in agony as he pulls his arms from the con- traption. Blood drips from his stumps while circuitry hangs idly.) Axel: I am a free man...and you are no longer my father. Calypso: Axel disappeared into the Kansas field. To this day he has yet to be seen. I am Calypso and I thank you for playing Twisted Metal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Mr. Slam "Simon Whittlebone": Biography: A man's dreams are all that he has, and they tried to take mine from me! When they fired me from my job as an architect, they crushed my vision. They took me tower! Well no more! When I win this contest, Simon Whittle- bone is fighting back! Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Sluggish Armor: 4/5 Special Weapon: 5/5 Speed: 1/5 Ending: Calypso: I piloted my zeppelin above the streets of New York prepared to honor the victor with any prize he requested. His name was Simon Whittlebone, a disgruntled man fired from his job as an architect for wanting to build a tower that stretched to the heavens. Greetings Simon Whittle- bone. I raise my glass to the one competitor who's made it all the way. Mr. Slam: Please, Calypso. Help me to build my tower. Help me to build my dream. Calypso: With a wave of my arms the building of Whittlebone Tower had begun. Using his bulldozer, Whittlebone built into the night, the progress he made was remarkable. Within days, his tower was higher than any skyscraper ever created and for a brief moment he was satisfied. But then, his small mind, as small minds tend to do, became overwhelmed with the possibility of losing his status. What if someone else someday built a taller and greater building. Whittlebone became enraged at the thought. Mr. Slam: I am the greatest. Do you hear me world? You people are all tiny ants to me now. No one will ever be as high or as great as me! Damnit, I am Simon Whittlebone! I am God! (Simon loses his balances and falls from the top of his tower miles to the ground below.) Calypso: To this day you can still see the crash in the street made by the crashing body of Simon Whittlebone. I let it serve as a reminder that everyone has a chance at winning my contest. Even fools. I am Calypso and I thank you for playing Twisted Metal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Shadow "Mortimer": Biography: What he took from them can never be forgiven or replaced. What they have hired me to do is their only hope, they are in the back right now and resting quite peacefully, but I promise, they will have their revenge. Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Intermediate Armor: 2/5 Special Weapon: 4/5 Speed: 3/5 Ending: Calypso: High above the rooftops of New York, Mortimer pushed his car to the limit. It had been a long, deadly fight and he was tired. Soon he would retire into the depths for a long day's sleep. But for now he had a mission to complete. He met with me, the creator of Twisted Metal. Mortimer, any prize you request is yours. Shadow: I am not here for a prize, Calypso. It is I who have a gift for you. Calypso: A gift for me? Let me see it! (Mortimer opens the doors and dozens of spirits rush out and surround Calypso.) Calypso: It was a trap, my fate had been sealed. Shadow: These are the souls of the people who have died in your contest. The poor men and women who were simply walking the streets of the world when your Twisted Metal competitors ran them down. They've hired me to take revenge on you. Calypso: Within seconds the souls of the dead had carried me away. Some say they dropped me in the busy streets of New York. Others think I'm still being carried on the night's winds. (The scene changes to a frightened child aboard a plane and the camera pans out to show Calypso on the wing with a devilish smile.) Calypso: Only one man knows the truth...and that man is me. I am Calypso! And I thank you for playing Twisted Metal! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Hammerhead "Mike & Stu": Biography: A Twisted Metal poem by Mike & Stu: "The Clouds are the place we want to be...far above where we can see...down women's shirts." THE END. Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Sluggish Armor: 3/5 Special Weapon: 3/5 Speed: 3/5 Ending: Calypso: Hammerhead raced across the rooftops of New York. Inside, Mike and Stu, the drivers of the truck, were salivating. Mike: Wohoo! We're here, man. We made it bro! Beaches, babes, farm animals! Hawaii is in our grasp bro! Yes! Calypso: What can I do for you gentlemen? Mike: We won the game, right? So, you gotta give us our prize. Um, well we want-- Stu: No, no, dude. Say demand. Mike: Okay, okay, okay. We demand that you give us the ability to fly. Calypso: Certainly. (Lightning crashes as Calypso casts the spell.) Stu: That's so cool. Calypso: Congratulations. I have granted your wish. Have a great time in the friendly skies. Stu: Let's go. (Both run forward and jump off of the edge of the building with an excited scream of excitement.) Mike: Hey man, this can't be right. (Rather than flying, both men fall horrendously to the ground with screams of horror. Their bodies hit the cement and people gather around in surprise as blood flows freely.) Calypso: Good thing these first class tickets are refundable. I am Calypso and I thank you for playing Twisted Metal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Outlaw 2 "Capt. Jamie Roberts": Biography: Last year, Calypso banished my brother; sent him spiralling off into who knows where. He broke my heart and disgraced my family. This year, me and the rest of the LAPD got a little surprise for the burnt faced freak. Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Intermediate Armor: 2/5 Special Weapon: 3/5 Speed: 4/5 Ending: Calypso: Captain Roberts stepped out of the car and stood before me. Outlaw 2: Last year my brother won your contest and you tricked him. You twisted his words and sent him spiraling into outer space. Now is my chance to save him. I am the winner and as my prize, I demand that you let me see my brother! Calypso: I will be glad to grant your wish my dear. I will let you see your brother! Outlaw 2: No, wait! What I meant to say was-- (Calypso grants her wish the scene changes to outer space. Outlaw 2 appears floating next to her brother in the first Outlaw) Calypso: But it was too late, her wish had been granted. Outlaw: Hey, Sis! I'm over here! Outlaw 2: Oh my God, Buzz, I found you! I can't believe it, I found you! Outlaw: Guess Calypso tricked you too, hus Sis? Now we're both stuck out here. Outlaw 2: I don't think so. I've made some modifications to my patrol car; I planned on Calypso's little trick. (She presses a button and boosters appear on the back of the car as it begins to rocket towards the earth.) Outlaw 2: These rocket boosters will carry us back. Next year, we'll enter Twisted Metal again and get our ultimate revenge on that burnt-faced freak. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Warthog "Capt. Rogers": Biography: They used to call me Old Iron Guts. Now thy just call me old. Well, I may be old, 105 to be exact. But I can still show these punks a thing or two about combat. When I win this contest, I'll fulfill the one missions that has eluded man since the dawn of time. Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Sluggish Special Weapon: 4/5 Armor: 3/5 Speed: 2/5 Ending: Calypso: His body worn from one hundred years of use, Captain Rogers struggled to stand before me. As his prize he asked to be young again. He wanted a second chance at life. 'Please, Calypso,' he begged, 'give me the body of a twenty year old.' (Calypso grants the wish and laughs. A twenty year old body appears on the screen with Warthog's old head.) Calypso: Congratulations. You now have the body of a twenty year old. Maybe next year you will win Twisted Metal again and ask for the head of someone the same age. I am Calypso and I thank you for playing Twisted Metal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Mr. Grimm: Biography: You live off food. I live off souls. Souls like yours to be exact. When I win this contest, you and everyone else are gonna be my seven course meal. You see, when I win, I'm taking destruction and doom to a whole new level. Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Tight Armor: 1/5 Special Weapon: 5/5 Speed: 4/5 Ending: Mr. Grimm: I am here for my prize Calypso. I need souls if you must know. I'm a bit of a junkie, addicted to death. Every moment I am without a soul I get weaker. My job is too hard. People, they have a tendency not dying fast enough. Please Calypso, accelerate the process, do what- ever it takes to make them die faster! Calypso: I did just that. Fulfilling my end of the bargain, I the mighty Calypso, caused the world to become a battle ground. All walks of men engaged in fierce combat. Few could call themselves safe as the death toll rose and the opulation fell dramatically threatening to cut off mankind in one horrific war. Within weeks the earth was reduced to chaos as the streets began to rise with the bodies of the dead. The souls came pouring in. Mr. Grimm was happy. The world was never the same after Grimm's horrific feast, but no meal can last forever. The human race was obliterated and within time Mr. Grimm was hungry again. Mr. Grimm: Feed me, please, feed me. I need souls. Calypso: I am Calypso and I thank you for playing Twisted Metal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Grasshopper "Krista Sparks": Biography: I thought my dad was dead, but I was wrong. When they told me his name, I hit the floor. Could he be really my dad? When I win this contest, we're gonna have a family reunion he'll never forget for the rest of his life (which ain't gonna be too long). Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Tight Armor: 1/5 Special Weapon: 2/5 Speed: 3/5 Ending: Grasshopper: Daddy? It's me, Krista! I'm back. Calypso: Krista. I thought you had died. I thought...in the car crash that almost killed me. You're alive! (Calypso looks deep into her eyes and sees behind the iris mechanical parts with the words "Property of the LAPD.") Calypso: Property of the LAPD? Grasshopper: I'm sorry, Father. They rebuilt me after the accident. They knew I could get close enough to you. They want to put a stop to all the violence you cause with your contest. Hold me Daddy. I'm just a machine now, but I'm scared the explosion will hurt. (Calypso embraces his daughter with love and she explodes.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11) Thumper "Bruce": Biography: For the last 10 years, I foguht on the streets of LA. Fought for my friends, my pride, my own survival. This year, I'm hading straight outta South Central and taking on the world. This time, I'm fighting for a hell of a lot more. Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Intermediate Armor: 2/5 Special Weapon: 4/5 Speed: 3/5 Ending: Calypso: The driver of Thumper stood before me. As his prize for winning Twisted Metal, he asked for his greatest wish. 'I want to rule the world,' he told me. 'I want to be in charge of it all. I want to be king of the earth!' I explained that as winner his ultimate wish would be granted. Your wish is granted driver. But the world had been reduced to rubble during the Twisted Metal contest. There was nothing, no one left to rule over. He was king of the earth, but was all alone and remains alone to this day sitting on his throne screaming out orders to lifeless subjects. I am Calypso and I thank you for playing Twisted Metal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12) Spectre "Ken": Biography: I remember back when I was a kid, everyone ignored me. In fact, they still do. That has to change, right? I can't be a loser forever. In fact, I'm gonna get help from Calypso when I win this contest. I know just what to ask him for. Vehicle Attributes: Handling: Tight Armor: 1/5 Special Weapon: 4/5 Speed: 4/5 Ending: Calypso: Ken Master stepped out of his car and stood before me. He had waited his whole life for this meeting, a chance to make his ultimate dream come true. Spectre: I'm an actor and I'm really, really good, and I've been struggling, searching for my big break for over six weeks. Please Calypso, you've got to make me famous. Make it so the entire world know my face. Calypso: Your wish is granted. Spectre: Hey don't touch the face. (Calypso grabs his face and starts to stretch and pull. He continues to do this for a few seconds until the scene shifts to a bird's eye view of the city.) Calypso: When Ken first woke up he thought he'd been dreaming, but then he look around and realized he was thousands of feet above New York City and his face felt odd. (The scene changes to a city block with a view of Spectre's face now acting as the sky for everyone to see. People below murmured in surprise and horror.) Calypso: The driver of Spectre had gotten his wish. Now the entire world knew Ken's face. And to tell you the truth I rather liked seeing his face everyday. It's a nice face. I do not regret what I did. I am Calypso, and I thank you for playing Twisted Metal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13) Sweet Tooth "Needles Kane": -To unlock Sweet Tooth on Playstation, type in Up, L1, Triangle, Right on the character slect screen. -To unlock Sweet Tooth on PC, type "gloriousicecream" on the character select screen.

Sweet Tooth told me that he wanted to live out his greatest fantasy, to become a bug in a tiny little garden out in the country what will be a life of relaxation and love and a life of peace, the final escape of his mad- ness. The night sky exploded with lights, and when the light faded... (The scene changes to a grassy graden with two ladybugs and a scorpion as Sweet Tooth's head is on a larva body.) Calypso: ...Sweet Tooth had gotten his wish. For the rest of his days, he enjoyed his new life at the garden away from all those telling him he was crazy. The other insects were not fans of their new neighbor before he had the tendency to kill them. Oh, but Sweet Tooth was happy and whenever he got lonely for human companionship, or human flesh, all he had to do was look up... (Sweet Tooth looks up as he sees a gardener above holding a gardening shovel.) Calypso: ...and dream of the day he would crawl out of the graden and back into the world of mad.
