Acknowledgments -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.) About Me and Introduction ---------------------------------------- Hey. JagDogger2525 here. This is my first FAQ. I have been gaming for years now and I own a few systems with a few games (hence my Contributor Data), and I want to share this FAQ for the game Twisted Metal: Head-On. So enough about me let's get to it. This FAQ is for all those who are stuck on this game. To find something you are stuck on, you can just press Ctrl and F simultaneously to bring up the "Find" box. There you can type the Section. Twisted Metal: Head-On is the PSP version of the famous Playstation car combat game Twisted Metal (TM for short). This time, you can save your games and, once in a while, choose which place you want to go next. To win in Twisted Metal: Head-On is like the other Twisted Metal games: Defeat all the enemy vehicles in the current battleground/stage/arena/level to move on to the next battleground/stage/arena/level and eventually defeating the Boss at the last stage of the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.)

Difficulty Levels ---------------------------------------- Super Easy - This difficulty is for those who just got the game and are not familiar with this game or any game in the Twisted Metal series. ---------- Easy - This difficulty is for those who know Twisted Metal and played around one (1) to two (2) (maybe more) versus games of the game for the console. ---------- Medium - This difficulty is for those who own a few or all of the Twisted Metal games for the consoles (excluding the PC version of TM2 and TMBO for PS2) and have played them more than ten (10) times but less than fifty (50). ---------- Hard - This difficulty is for those who do the following: a. Own all the Twisted Metal games (in/excluding* the PC version of TM2 and TMBO for PS2) b. Own all of the Strategy Guides (if available) c. Play between one and all of them at least once a day * I put in/excluding because the PC version and TMBO are both hard to get unless bought on a site where you buy stuff. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.) Modes ---------------------------------------- a. Single Player -------------------- Story - This mode is where you fight your enemies on each level. Each level has one (1), and ONLY one (1), mini-game (See Mini-Games Section for more details). By completing this mode once, you automatically unlock every level that was COMPLETED, not up to. Example: If you die in Paris, the only levels that are unlocked are Big Blue Stadium and Los Angeles. All levels unlocked can be played either in Challenge or Endurance in Single Player or Online in Multiplayer. ---------- Challenge - In this mode, you select your vehicle, your enemies, and the level. You have to defeat all the enemies that were chosen without dying. ---------- Endurance - In this mode, you select your vehicle, and the level. You have to defeat as many enemies as you can without dying. -------------------- b. Multiplayer -------------------- Ad Hoc - This is where you can connect with other players IN THE SAME ROOM. I put that in caps because it is the most important part of this multiplayer mode. ---------- Infrastructure - You can play online in this mode but a wireless router is needed. You play with others in your country. You may need to make a name and password in the process. ---------- Infrastructure LAN - You can play online in this mode but a wireless router is needed. You play with others IN YOUR LOCAL AREA NETWORK (a.k.a. LAN). I put that in caps because it is the most important part of this online mode. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.) Vehicles ---------------------------------------- Car: Roadkill (Vehicle) Driver: Marcus Kane Age: 35 - Height: 5'11" Weight: 255 Marcus Kane is a man plagued with nightmare of competing in past Twisted Metal competition. Each dream is very real, but he believes it’s a fake. He doesn’t know it, but he’s got a split personality. His other identity is Needles Kane (the driver of Sweet Tooth). Lately these nightmares (which are actually memories that Calypso has tried to hide from Marcus) have gotten worse and worse. Eventually he wakes up one day and there’s a Twisted Metal vehicle waiting outside for him. Ready to put these nightmares to rest once and for all, he decides to compete in what he believes to be another nightmare; he doesn’t realize this Twisted Metal is for real. Handling: 5/10 Armor: 4/10 Sp. Weapon: 6/10 Speed: 6/10 Special Weapon: Boomerang ---------------------------------------- Car: Shadow (Vehicle) Driver: Mortimer Scharf Age: Long Dead Height: 5'3" - Weight: 115 Mortimer, a former caretaker of wayward souls, has long since gone back to rest in his coffin. One night, some kids are goofing around near Mortimer's grave. One of them reads the "Gone but not forgotten" inscription on the tombstone and drunkenly decides to see if that's true. They dig up the grave and wake up Mortimer. This upsets Mortimer as he finds he can't go back to sleep. Exhausted and desperate to go back to his eternal slumber, Mortimer enters Twisted Metal hoping Calypso can put him back to sleep. Handling: 5/10 Armor: 4/10 Sp. Weapon: 8/10 Speed: 6/10 Special Weapon: Soul Shadow ---------------------------------------- Car: Mr. Grimm (Vehicle) Driver: Mr. Grimm Age: 26 - Height: 5'10" Weight: 180 (All stats are from when he was human) Mr. Grimm is, in fact, the grim reaper himself. At some point during his centuries of work, he attempted to devour a soul himself instead taking it to its next destination. He became hooked; needing to devour more and more souls. He found himself absorbing more souls than he was delivering. This craving was driving Mr. Grimm to the point of insanity. He realizes he can't take it anymore and enters Twisted Metal hoping that Calypso can give someone else the job of being the Grim Reaper. Handling: 10/10 Armor: 2/10 Sp. Weapon: 10/10 Speed: 8/10 Special Weapon: Screaming Soul ---------------------------------------- Car: Sweet Tooth (Vehicle) Driver: Needles Kane Age: Unknown Height: 5'9" - Weight: 185 Needles is, by far, the most aggressive competitor Twisted Metal has ever known. He's competed in every Twisted Metal and has become known as the insane clown. He has become tired of this position as a simple competitor and with his wish hopes to take over Twisted Metal altogether. Handling: 2/10 Armor: 8/10 Sp. Weapon: 6/10 Speed: 2/10 Special Weapon: Napalm Cone ---------------------------------------- Car: Thumper (Vehicle) Driver: Angel Age: 25 - Height: 5'7" Weight: 120 For years, Angel has wanted to compete with the big-boys and their lowriding, customized, bass pumping vehicles. Growing up she has watched her brothers and cousins build, modify and create incredible vehicles, while basking in all of the attention and notoriety that comes along with them. She has had to stand by the sidelines simply watching the car show competitions instead of competing herself. Twisted Metal was just the opportunity she was looking for. If she wins she will finally have the car that puts them all to shame. Handling: 5/10 Armor: 4/10 Sp. Weapon: 8/10 Speed: 6/10 Special Weapon: Balls of Fire ---------------------------------------- Car: Spectre (Vehicle) Driver: Chuckie Floop Age: 19 - Height: 6'2" Weight: 195 A popular radio station, receives a confusing giveaway prize from an anonymous source. The prize? A "special" vehicle to compete in a contest called Twisted Metal, and all you have to do to win is be the 7th caller. Of course the DJ's have no clue what they're giving away and the 7th caller, Chuckie Floop, is just happy to win something. Chuckie doesn't realize what he is in for and discovers from the mysterious contest creator that the winner will be granted any wish they desire. Not sure how this contest works or how anyone can grant wishes, Chuckie's mind focuses on the important "what will I wish for?". Handling: 10/10 Armor: 2/10 Sp. Weapon: 8/10 Speed: 8/10 Special Weapon: Ghost Missile ---------------------------------------- Car: Twister (Vehicle) Driver: Miranda Watts Age: 25 - Height: 5'2" Weight: 100 Miranda's twin sister Amanda competed in Twisted Metal a few years ago and has been missing ever since. Miranda's been on an exhaustive hunt for her sister, but hasn't had any luck finding her. She eventually follows Amanda's trail to Calypso who offers her a seat in the upcoming Twisted Metal. Miranda is no stranger to racing as she and Amanda used to be the top two female Indy car racers in the world. She agrees and knows exactly what she'll wish for; her sister returned alive and well. Handling: 10/10 Armor: 2/10 Sp. Weapon: 8/10 Speed: 10/10 Special Weapon: Tornado Twist ---------------------------------------- Car: Outlaw (Vehicle) Driver: Capt. Jaime Roberts Age: 27 - Height: 5'6" Weight: 135 Driver: Sgt. Carl Roberts Age: 31 - Height: 5'8" Weight: 165 Jamie and her brother Carl were once decorated and respected police officers. Jamie's brother had competed in and won a previous Twisted Metal. Upon making his wish, Calypso tricked and imprisoned him. Jamie entered and won a subsequent Twisted Metal and was able to rescue her brother. Now they're competing together with the goal of bringing down Calypso and Twisted Metal once and for all. Jamie hopes to merely bring the contest to an end. She doesn't know that her brother plans to kill Calypso if he gets the chance. Handling: 5/10 Armor: 4/10 Sp. Weapon: 6/10 Speed: 8/10 Special Weapon: Teaser ---------------------------------------- Car: Grasshopper (Vehicle) Driver: Krista Sparks Age: 15 - Height: 5'1" Weight: 105 (When she was alive) Krista Sparks is the long dead daughter of Calypso. Calypso, and his entire family were killed in a brutal car accident. Calypso escaped from death by stealing a demon's powers, but he was not able to bring his family with him. Calypso gets the idea to rescue his daughter from the afterlife. Upon attempting to do so, he will be able to summon her, it will only be temporary. In order for her to be truly living again she must win Twisted Metal and wish for this life herself. Handling: 10/10 Armor: 2/10 Sp. Weapon: 4/10 Speed: 6/10 Special Weapon: Body Slam ---------------------------------------- Car: Warthog (Vehicle) Driver: Colonel Hall Age: 36 - Height: 6'4" Weight: 255 Colonel Hall wanted to be a military man since he was a little kid. Right from the start he excelled at all forms of combat, and tactics came naturally to him. The army has sent him to compete in Twisted Metal with the hope that he’ll win and acquire an ultimate weapon. When he wins, Colonel Hall wishes for an ultimate weapon; something that will enable him to easily take out all the evil-doers of the world. Handling: 2/10 Armor: 8/10 Sp. Weapon: 6/10 Speed: 4/10 Special Weapon: Patriot Missiles ---------------------------------------- Car: Axel (Vehicle) Driver: Axel Age: 38 - Height: 6'3" Weight: 280 (60 pounds come from his metal arms) More than a decade ago, Axel was imprisoned in a massive, two-wheeled contraption by his father. At the end of Twisted Metal 2, he confronted his father about this and he was told he'd have to spend another decade imprisoned. In a show of defiance, he tore his arms free from the contraption and disappeared. Even though he was now free, he found he couldn't handle living without the thing he'd been part of for so long. He felt like he'd lost a part of his body. Axel met a doctor who constructed cybernetic arms and feet that would allow him to drive the vehicle once again, on the condition that Axel would turn over his wish should he win Twisted Metal. Handling: 5/10 Armor: 6/10 Sp. Weapon: 6/10 Speed: 4/10 Special Weapon: Supernova ---------------------------------------- Car: Mr. Slam (Vehicle) Driver: Simon Whittlebone Age: 33 - Height: 5'9" Weight: 200 (When he was alive) Simon Whittlebone was the mastermind behind Whittlebone Tower; a skyscraper that was to stretch taller than any building that had come before it. While the building was under construction, Simon climbed to the top of the tower and shouted to the universe that this creation made him a god. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. With the mastermind dead, the tower was never finished. Companies tried to tear the remains down, but strange and ghostly things always kept people at bay; Simon's spirit has been haunting the tower. His spirit possesses one of the construction vehicles and he enters Twisted Metal with the hopes of being reborn so he can finish his tower. Handling: 2/10 Armor: 8/10 Sp. Weapon: 10/10 Speed: 2/10 Special Weapon: Bucket Slam Shake ---------------------------------------- Car: Crimson Fury (Vehicle) Driver: Agent Shepherd Age: 34 - Height: 6'1" Weight: 100 Agent Shepherd is a good and dedicated FBI agent who's entered Twisted Metal with the goal of bringing the FBI's most wanted, Calypso, to justice. He's a simple and straightforward man. If he wins Twisted Metal and with the help of the FBI, Shepherd hopes to capture Calypso. Handling: 10/10 Armor: 2/10 Sp. Weapon: 8/10 Speed: 8/10 Special Weapon: Reticle Pulse Blast ---------------------------------------- Car: HammerHead (Vehicle) Driver: Catfish Age:47 - Height: 6'1" Weight: 175 Catfish, a man who prides himself as the mighty hunter, decided to modify his favorite rig to compete in this year's Twisted Metal, because after all, it's just another form of hunting, vehicular style. Catfish's illustrious and often illegal hunting obsession has resulted in the head of every type of big game creature to hang proudly in his favorite trophy room. Now, Catfish's ultimate dream is to hunt the most intelligent species in the animal kingdom, the Human, in an all-out, man vs. man survival of the fittest in the raw wilderness. Handling: 2/10 Armor: 6/10 Sp. Weapon: 6/10 Speed: 2/10 Special Weapon: Ram Attack ---------------------------------------- Car: Cousin Eddy (Vehicle) Driver: Cousin Eddy Age: 29 - Height: 6'0" Weight: 300 Cousin Eddy was born in a backwater Ozarks pigsty called Sour Creek. You won't find it on any map. A textbook case of what can go wrong when cousins marry cousins, Eddy was the strongest man in town by the time he was ten, though his malformed, inbred brain had stopped developing at age three. Eddy only had two loves: "smashin' things" and collecting "shiny things". By age thirteen he owned all of the shiny things in Sour Creek. After he'd finish his smashing the place was kind of lonely, so he wandered off in search of more shiny things and more things to smash. When he stumbled across the Twisted Metal competition he thought he'd found paradise. Eddy had gathered a band of drifters - "cousins" he called them - who he coerced by brute strength into helping him transform a trash RV into a nightmare killing machine. Now he could blast his way into Twisted Metal. So much to smash. So many shiny things... Handling: 5/10 Armor: 10/10 Sp. Weapon: 10/10 Speed: 8/10 Special Weapon: Ram ---------------------------------------- Car: ATV (Vehicle) Driver: Gene Ruttish Age: 22 - Height: 5'9" Weight: 185 Gene Ruttish had always fancied himself a ladies' man... unfortunately noone ever told the ladies. All his life he'd tried one crazy ATV stunt after another in the vain attempt to gain their favor. For years he's been living by the credo, "Bones heal. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever." Years of trying crazy stunts have made him quite the skilled driver and willing risk-taker. Joining Cousin Eddy's caravan has given him a place to show off his skills and Twisted Metal is his latest attempt to "wow" the women. Gene knows exactly what he wants from Twisted Metal. When he wins, he will ask Calypso to make him the most desired man on the planet. Handling: 10/10 Armor: 1/10 Sp. Weapon: 4/10 Speed: 8/10 Special Weapon: Shotgun/Dynamite ---------------------------------------- Car: Dark Tooth (Vehicle) Driver: Marcus Kane Age: 35 - Height: 5'11" Weight: 255 Driver: Needles Kane Age: Unknown Height: 5'9" - Weight: 185 Terrible things can happen when a man comes to grips with his dark side. Marcus has spent his life running from his nightmares. Needles has devoted his life to making his nightmares come true. When Marcus surrenders to Needles the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Marcus' rational mind and Needles' fevered insanity descend into a vortex of sinister chaos. The only possible outcome is the total annihilation of anything that stands in their path. Handling: 10/10 Armor: 10/10 Sp.
