Compilated on September 21, 2006 around 12:17am EST and
finished on September 27, 2006 around 5:27pm. 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:

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!

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.

brother!

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.

revenge on that burnt-faced freak.

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.

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

and a scorpion as Sweet Tooth's head is on a larva body.)

of his days, he enjoyed his new life at the garden away

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.)
