Update 1- July 14, 2002, Well, first I wrote the faq, but then I heard
a problem about how to get mime. But I think I know the real way, so I
fixed that. Didn't think I would end up updating, but here you go.
Thanks DarkStryder247@aol.com for finding out that you couldn't get
mime with what I originally had.

Update 2- July 15, 2002, Well, decided for another update. Someone told
me that there was a better strategy for endurance mode with Slam and
freezing cars then lifting them over the edge in the Tree Top Rumble
stage, but I still stand strong on my strategy, it is less risky, I
tried out that, I was on 28 kills and fell off the edge by accident. So
anyone who reads my faq, I encourage you to use my strategy. Plus I
beat the game with Darkside on hard mode, so I added that. And lastly I
added the reason for me not having a walkthrough, right under
introduction(even though no one has questioned me about it yet).

Update 3- Wow, thought I had my last upgrade before... But that's ok,
cause I am glad to give some knowledge to you all. I am going to
correct how to get the secret characters(again) cause for some odd
reason they didn't change last time, plus, JCrowe3400@aol.com told me
the real way to get Piecemeal, which all I really need to add is that
it must be under hard mode. Lets hope this is my last upgrade, but then
again, you never know...
I do not tolerate plagiarism. In case if you do not know the
definition, Plagiarize is defined: To use and pass off (the ideas or
writings of another) as one's own or to appropriate for use as one's
own passages or ideas from (another). Thanks Dictionary.com for the
definition, pretty much, don't copy my stuff, you can look, you can
refer to it all you want, maybe print for your own use. But do not
copy for your faqs, as your own work, or anything along those lines.
I will be happy to answer any questions, just E-mail me at
RHINO0187@aol.com. This is my first faq, but I think it is done well
and should help a lot.
I. Introduction
---------------
Well first of all I should say that I don't really think that a
walkthrough is needed for this game, so just go to the car you like,
then get some strategies, I put some strategies for the bosses too. If
anyone wants a walkthrough, E-mail me for I can decide if it would be
useful.
--------------
What kid will be toughest on the Block? Billy Calypso, the mean bully
of Twisted Metal: Small Brawl. He has teased the kids on the block,
stolen their lunch money, shot spit wads at them, and sent their pets
to the veterinarian. After getting bored of all this, Calypso had to
think of something a little more fun to do.
---------------
So while watching some demolition derby. Calypso thought, now this is
action, I would love to see all them dumb kids go at it like this. So
he says, "I gotta have this tournament! It would absolutely rule!"
----------------
But even though the idea was so great, the backfire was none of the
kids in his neighborhood knew how to drive. But Calypso thinks of
something fast... So he "invited" all the kids to a tournament (some more
willing then others).
----------------
He tells them they will all need a remote control car. Then get ready
to put your remote control cars to the test. He told them to make it
interesting, "Ill grant the winner one wish...so think about what you
want...Cuz you'll really get it...heh heh..."

Rear fire: Launch your weapon backwards, when being followed show them
a lesson by blasting them behind. Press right, left, down, L2 to

press L1+R1 to execute.
------------------------

can get ramming damage in. Just go full speed and ram for damage.
-------------
V. Game modes

battleground is filled with enemies of Calypso's choosing.

for your life. I can last extremely long. Can you? Use all your skills

----------------
VI. Weapons/pick ups
----------------
Fire missile: This firework rocket is your basic missile. It is a
little stronger then homing missiles but have slight homing abilities.
----------------
Homing missile: This bottle rocket flies out and tracks down your
opponents, less power but way easier to hit with.
----------------
Power missile: This big firework does great damage but has no homing
abilities.
----------------
Roman candle: A rapid firing weapon lobs explosive bouncing balls
around. Height and length it goes depends how far your opponent is
away. I think it is useful on larger opponents.
----------------
Ricochet bomb: A ground bloom firework that spins out in a straight
path. If it hits it does great damage, if not it ricochets until it
hits someone(it will be just as powerful as when launched).
----------------
Napalm: Isn't this creative, flaming doll heads. It is a lobbing arc,
and explodes on impact, if it hits the ground it will have a wall of
fire, when someone hits it they will catch fire until extinguished.
-----------------
Remote drop mine: Huge cherry bombs are more powerful then you would
expect! Put it on the ground then detonate it when you are ready.
------------------
Environment weapon: Every battleground has a different effect with
these, when you use something happens on the battleground; usually
these are pretty effective, look out for them.
--------------------
Mystery weapon: That question mark you see, it's a mystery weapon, it
gives you a random weapon.
-------------------
Special: You cant pick them up but they build up overtime, each car has
a different one and some are better then others.
--------------------
Machine guns- This weapon you can use as much as you want, I use it a
lot while shooting other weapons or when chasing down an opponent.
--------------------
Green battery: Just call it health.
--------------------
Red battery: Just call it turbo.
------------------------
NOTE: Battery attacks are used from the blue bar on the side of your
health, it fills up automatically and can not be refilled instantly.
--------------------

-------
VIII: Bosses/Billy Calypso
-------
Billy Calypso: Owner of the tournament, just a downright mean kid. But
after all the teasing, it's the kids turn to get even. Billy isn't a
playable character or a boss.
-------
Trapper: This guy is pretty tough, so pay attention. This is the
hardest guy in the game. His special is little red monkeys that slide
around on the ground until they hit you and split to more monkeys which
is pretty deadly. Use hit and run techniques on him. If you are low on
health try to avoid him until health appears below the dropping anchor
on the battlefield. If he is low on health, try to keep him away from
health, after a long fought battle he should be gone. Try to use a lot
of power missiles and stuff that are powerful like that on him. After
beating him a couple times you will probably get used to him and soon
he will be easier then ever.
--------
Piecemeal: This guy takes the parts of other cars he has destroyed and
puts them on his own. And he also knows all the specials, sounds tough
right? Not at all, this guy is super easy. I never lost to him once.
When you start out in the level you will fight regular opponents but
every time you destroy an enemy Piecemeal comes out. He is a big guy so
use a lot of big weapons on him, I like using roman candles, they hit
him very well. After a while he will disappear until you kill another
enemy. Make sure you get health when it is there. Use hit and run
techniques If you have a guy who gets hurt easy. After a while all the
cars will be gone and you will easily defeat him. This is the last guy
so don't worry if you use a lot of weapons on him.
---------
IX: How to get secret characters
---------
This should make your day, any character you have battled out there is
playable, even the bosses. I will tell you how to receive every
character.
---------
Axel: He is by far the easiest to get. When you start on the very first
level go to the swings. Jump up and shoot a missile right at the middle
swing. It should swing back and forth and an Axel figure should fall
off toward you. Grab it to unlock Axel.
---------
Darkside: Another pretty easy character to get. In the Easy death oven
stage, go toward the plumber. Shoot a napalm at his butt and it should
explode opening a whole under the cabinet in the middle of the room.
Just go in and find the Darkside token to unlock Darkside.
---------
Mime: You have probably never seen him in the stages. He is in the
secret stage(go to secret stages to unlock this) Holiday Havoc. In the
medium difficulty setting in endurance mode, shoot missiles at the
Christmas tree until it is destroyed. Get on top of the fireplace then
jump off backwards and shoot a missile at the stockings. Destroy all
four to reveal the icon that unlocks Mime.
---------
Trapper: Beat the game as all the characters on medium difficulty, if
that doesn't work try hard mode.
---------
Piecemeal: Beat the game with Trapper on hard mode. I'm pretty sure
that was right.
---------
X. Secret Character Info:
---------
Axel: Axel's main objective for the tournament is to display his
mastery of 2-wheel combat.
---------
Vehicle: Axel- His special is a bunch of missiles that shoot all around
him while he is spinning. It is a pretty good special, but I have seen
better.
---------
Stats:
Armor- 5
Acceleration- 4
Speed- 4
Handling- 10
---------
Mr. Ash: A dark and mysterious boy named Jimmy Ash drives this big
truck. His actions are unknown for this tournament.
---------
Vehicle: Darkside- His special is when he rams very hard into the
enemy, it is very effective and one of my favorite specials.
---------
Stats:
Armor- 10
Acceleration- 3
Speed- 8
Handling- 4
---------
Mime: This actress loves to mimic people, especially when it gets them
angry.
---------
Vehicle: Mime- Mime's special is actually anybody's special. When you
switch to her special she gets the special of the closest opponent. So
if you are closest to Axel you will get his special. You don't get rid
of that special until you run out of specials or you switch to a
different weapon.
---------
Stats:
Armor- 2
Acceleration- 6
Speed- 6
Handling- 8
---------
Trapper: Trapper is a mysterious hunter and nothing much more is known,
but beware, he is relentless.
---------
Vehicle: Trapper- Trapper's special is extremely good, when he releases
it a bunch of monkeys go on the ground right toward the enemy and more
monkeys appear as they hit enemies, eventually it wares off though.
---------
Stats:
Armor- 8
Acceleration- 4
Speed- 3
Handling- 5
---------
Piecemeal: He is a collector and a scavenger. This contestant takes the
parts off of other cars that he has destroyed and puts them on his car.
Sounds pretty scary huh... He likes to fashion this huge Car in Calypso's
races.
---------
Vehicle: Piecemeal- He also has everyone's special, when you switch to
his special you get a random special in the game, if you don't like
that special just switch back to a different weapon then switch back.
----------
Stats:
Armor- 8
Acceleration- 4
Speed- 3
Handling- 5
----------
XI. Stages:
----------
Here I will give a description of the stage and easy ways to conquer
it. There are 8 stages to start with. I used the easy difficulty first,
but later used medium which I can beat pretty easily too. Hard is
extremely difficult for me, you can try if you want, I only beat it one
time. After you beat all the stages in any difficulty in tournament
mode you unlock a movie.
----------
Playground Peril: Calypso has taken over the local playground just for
you could battle in it. This is a pretty basic stage, see what you can
do on the seesaws. There are no bosses on this stage, shoot at that
duck in the stage for health. If you go up the stairs there is more
health. Pretty much just play the stage. It is pretty self-explanatory;
whatever character you are using refer to previous sections for help.
---------
Carn-O-Maul: Carnival is in town, time for some RC car battling. Watch
out for the blade in the middle of the room, it will send your car
flying. The skeleton that goes around, don't hit him, he takes away a
good amount of health, but you might want to follow him. He will take
you to a hidden room with goodies including health and other pickups.
There is no boss on this stage. Show those RC cars what you are made
of.
---------
Easy Death Oven: Time for some kitchen battling, look at that idiot
under the sink. Don't touch the stove, it might burn a little. You can
hit the spring on the counter top to go to the counter in the middle of
the room. Go around up there, in the toaster/microwave thing there his
health, but don't get trapped while going for it. The can opener may
catch you, but don't worry about it, it doesn't do that much damage.
There is no boss in the stage, just your normal enemies, by now you can
probably figure out how to take out each one and are probably adapted
to your car better then before.
---------
Minigolf Mayhem: Minigolfing is a great way to start out your golfing
career. But this is a pretty unique golf course, it has an erupting
volcano and all other sorts of stuff. There are plenty of obstacles
here. While destroying your opponents make sure to pick a ton of
weapons to get ready for Trapper the boss on this stage. For strategy
on him go up to bosses. Anyways, just make sure you reserve weapons and
health for Trapper.
-----------
Meat Your Maker: Time for the cold meat locker. Looks like the grocery
store left their freezer door open, this looks like a nice battlefield.
It is pretty dangerous out there, be careful. The meat grinder on the
top of the battlefield will kill you in 1 shot, there will be health in
front of it but only if you need it badly I wouldn't risk trying to get
it. There is no boss on this stage. It's pretty fun if you can freeze
your opponents on the conveyor belts and they fall into the grinder.
------------
Gridiron Gore: This is a big football field and one of my favorite
stages. It is pretty much opened up to all you can dish out. Hard to
hide and you can get weapons pretty easily. Blow up the helmets to find
health. I would recommend you go back and forth grabbing health when
you are low on health. There is no boss so don't worry about saving up
weapons. This is a very easy stage to pass.
-------------
Tree Top Rumble: This level is pretty fun too. This is a large tree
house for your cars to battle at. When you fall of the edge you will
blow up unless you can manage to hit the trampoline first. You can turn
on the lawnmower by shooting it. There is a switch in one of the rooms
that you can keep knocking down to make a whole form by it. It is fun
to knock your enemies into this whole or to trick them into it. They
will blow up, no doubt about it. There are no bosses on this stage.
--------------
Now Slaying: Finally, the last stage, after this you can claim your
prize. It's a great movie house with a crappy movie. Now it is
intermission; how does RC car combat sound before the next movie
starts? This stage is pretty simple, make sure you shoot that ticket
booth or whatever it is at the top of the stage, it will roll down and
uncover health, turbo, and another goodie. Just fight it out and stock
up on weapons in the beginning. You will have to fight Piecemeal every
time you destroy an enemy(go up to bosses for strategy).
--------------
Well good job completing tournament, you unlocked a movie so sit back
and watch, you deserve it. But that isn't all the stages.
----------
XII. Secret Stages
----------
These stages can be earned in the endurance mode. You can not play them
in tournament but can play them in other modes. I will tell you how to
get the stages and a little bit about them. I beat the endurance mode
on medium so I'm don't know if you can get them on easy. Also I beat
all of them in succession, I never quit playing until I had all stages,
made it easier to get them all quick. Also, I would recommend using
Gridiron Gore for your stage, it is easy to get health.
-----------
Shock Therapy: This stage can be earned by killing 10 opponents in
endurance. Pretty much this is just a scientific stage. It is sort of
dark and there is a lot of electricity. Any of the secret stages are
worth earning though, no matter how great the stage is.
------------
Buster's Lanes: This stage can be earned by killing 20 opponents,
personally this is my favorite stages. If you can't tell by the name of
the stage it is a bowling alley. To get items you can knock down all
the pins on the lanes. If you go down the gutter it is pretty cool too.
------------
Holiday Havoc: You need to kill 30 opponents for this stage and the
stage is necessary to unlock Mime. This stage is pretty cool. I like to
shoot at Santa's feet, he says different things and it is pretty funny
cause he is stuck in the chimney. You can blow up the tree and go up it
too.
------------
XIII. Movies
------------
These are very easy to earn, all the characters you start out with will
have a movie and secret characters will not. You must earn all the
movies in tournament mode and difficulty does not matter. All you have
to do is beat the tournament mode for the movie. Depending on which
character you beat it depends on which movie you can get. Of course the
character you beat it with will be the character's movie you will get.
Try to get them all!!!
--------------
XIV. GameShark Codes

Now these are not needed but are nice to have, I only have the codes
that are official and I didn't add the ones from the code creator's
club. NOTE: These codes will also work for Code Breaker, that is what I
have, but I got all of these codes from Gameshark.com.
