Twisted Metal Black Tips & Tricks

  • Watch yourself in movie

    Pick the Millennium Drive in movie and look at the screen. You will see yourself doing exactly what your currently doing.

  • Recover special weapon fire

    When using a special weapon that charges, hold down Fire and press the weapon selection either way to stop using the original charging special weapon without firing it, or suffering a weapon backfire ammo penalty.

  • Alternate fire

    Push Down, Up, Down + Fire to place gas cans on the ground like a remote bomb. Push Fire again to detonate. If you wait long enough they will charge up and will be able to produce an explosion that is extremely powerful. REMEMBER: This does not work with all weapons.

  • Special attacks

    Set the control option to "Classic". All of the following except "Rear fire" require energy to use. Freeze: Push Up, Down, Up. Jump: Push L1 + R1. Land mine: Push Right, Left, Down. Charge Mine: Push Right, Left, then hold Down. Invisibility: Push Left(2), Down(2). Shield: Push Right(2), Down(2). Rear fire: Push Left, Right, Down + Fire.

  • Character preview

    Push Circle at the character selection to zoom into the driver of the vehicle. During the zoom, press Circle again and the view will freeze.

  • Alternate view

    Press and hold Select and push Down while playing the game. Hold Select and press Left to change to yet another view.

  • Alternate weapon view

    Push Select + Right while playing the game.

  • Proximity rocks

    When using Manslaughter, press Left, Right, Down then use the special.

  • Reverse Turbo

    To turbo in reverse, press Gas, then hold Down (Reverse) + Gas.

  • Advanced freeze

    Hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and press Right, Left, Up.

  • Extra health

    After you destroy an enemy car, run over the flaming driver for a little (but well needed) boost of health.

  • Sweet Tooth Surprise attack

    Have at least two or three specials. Find an opponent then unleash your Mech-a-Missiles from Sweet Tooth. While firing, hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and press Right, Left, Up. You should hear the sound of a cannon and see three big fireballs and a freeze ball. You should hit your opponent with twenty hits, a x2 Missile Bonus, and the Special, resulting in lots of damage. REMEMBER: You will lose almost all of your energy bar.

  • Shadow Secret special attack

    While playing as Shadow, select her special attack weapon and push Up(3). She will come through the roof and fire a turret weapon at her opponents, Outlaw-style.

  • Minion Secret special attack

    While playing as Minion with any car, press and hold L2 + R2 + R1 + L1 and push Right, Left, Up. This particular attack requires almost all of yourMAGIC meter.

  • Crazy 8 Secret special attack

    While playing as Crazy 8, select your special weapon and press Down(3), Up(3). A purple shield will appear instead of a silver one. To fire the purple shock you must be close to somebody, and then press L2. While playing as Crazy 8, select his special weapon. Then press Up(3) to make his front end light up with electricity. This also works by substituting Left(3), Right(3), or Down(3) for the corresponding side.

  • Axel Secret special attack

    While playing as Axel, select your special weapon, then press Up(3). Axle will pull his big wheels together and them ram into someone, causing more damage than his other special. REMEMBER: You only have a few seconds to ram into someone.

  • Downtown level Extra health

    Go to the elevator opposite the side of the collapsible building. When you are near the top, press R1 + R2 to gain extra health.

  • Get out of Freeze attack

    If you are frozen, press Turbo to break out of it.

Twisted Metal Black Unlockables

  • Warhawk's level

    On the Junkyard level in story mode with any character, shoot down the green Pizza Boy statue (near the Old Warplane and crane). His pizza box will fall near the vertical crusher and form a ramp. Go to the ramp and line yourself up to the crusher. When the crusher falls, use the ramp. When on top of the crusher, there will be a building you can drive through to get some weapons. Off the side of that will be a rotating black cube. Jump off to the black cube to unlock the Warhawk level in multi-player mode. Another method is to go to the magnet in the Junkyard level. Use the jump ability (R1 + L1) to get on top after driving fast to get a boost. Wait for the magnet to go up. When you get to the top, jump to the platform to which the magnet is attached. Jump to that, then face out to the junkyard. You will see a black cube to your left. Drive to it and to unlock Warhawk's level.

  • Sewers level

    Begin game play on the Skyscrapers level. Switch the view to the farthest away from the vehicle. At the bottom of the crashed plane and to the left (if you were exiting the plane) is a small billboard at about car level. Shoot it down -- you may have to be on the next building (the way the billboard faces) to do so. It will now bridge the gap between the two buildings. Put yourself in the center of the board and aim yourself toward the inner part of the hole. Head in at regular speed. You will have to lose a life to get this cube.

  • Skyscrapers level

    Once on Warhawk's rooftop in story mode, there is a building in the background where the Minion's Tanker flies off to your building. Face near the edge of that side and switch the camera view to the farthest selection. You should see a black cube slightly off the building. You will lose one life when the cube is collected, but the Skyscrapers level will be unlocked in multi-player mode. REMEMBER: The way to jump is in the direction of where the tankers appear.

  • Prison Ship level

    Get fifteen endurance kills in the Junkyard level to unlock the Prison Ship level in multi-player mode.

  • Axel

    Go to the Freeway level. It is recommended that you destroy all but one or two of the other vehicles before proceeding. Toward the center of this level is a large construction site with two big cranes. The one on the right is holding a pipe, the one on the left is holding a crate. Use the ridge between the cranes and the road and aim yourself at the control box of the left crane (at the center box). You only need to hit it once with some kind of missile. The crate will then lower into the construction yard. Shoot it open to unlock Axel.

  • ManSlaughter

    Once the ship docks on the island in the Prison Passage level and you can exit the boat, go to the right (left if facing the ship). Follow the waterline until you reach some crates. Shoot them up until a ramp is formed. Shoot the side of the ship until a opening appears. You will find and unlock ManSlaughter there.

  • Minion

    Unlock all of the secret characters, then finish the game in story mode with all of the regular and secret characters. A FMV sequence showing Minion reassembling and a "Beware of Minion" message will appear. He appears after Sweet Tooth on the character selection screen.

  • Fight Minion in challenge mode

    Select Minion's Stadium, then choose characters and select Minion. REMEMBER: Minion must be unlocked to fight him in challenge mode

  • Prison Passage level

    Select a fast car. Do the exact same thing to unlock Warthog, except do not go in the hole in the building. Instead, drive to the end of the row of the buildings going to the left. Then, go to the building opposite that, which has a flat roof. You can do this by driving to the left edge and facing the building. Turbo and jump when you get to the other edge. Make sure to brake when you hit the roof. After this, turn to the building that is next to you and blow up the vent on the roof. You should see the black cube after the vent is destroyed. Turbo and jump when you get to the edge to get the cube and unlock the Prison Passage level. In story mode, start the Suburbs level and go to the entrance to the carnival. Turn left and jump off a hill to land on top of a building with a structure on top of it. Then, hop on to the building just to the left of you. You will then see a power missile power-up on the building in front of you. Use your turbos and jump to that building by pressing L1 + R1. Blow up the structure on the building to reveal the black cube.

  • Power Plant level

    Head to the end of the Snowy Roads level with the longer building. Face the drop and head to the left side of that gap. Slowly roll over the edge, and there should be a lower level with the cube on it.

  • Minion's Stadium level

    Begin game play on the Downtown level. Locate the set of buildings connected at the second story on one side of the river/bayou. You can find it easily since when you drive between them, there is a big section of wall that is very visible that you can shoot out to get to the elevators. There is one on each building. When facing the buildings from the river, take the left-hand elevator up. Then, circle around to the back of the building. Along the way you will notice that the ground changes color. About one car length to the left of that line is where you want to creep to the edge and barely fall off. You should hit the cube while falling. If not, you should be on a different level off of the ground -- jump (press R1 + L1) to get the cube. It can be seen from the ground floor once you know where to look.

  • Mini-Suburbs level

    Start an endurance match in the Drive-In level. Get ten consecutive kills without being killed.

  • Freeway level

    Start an endurance match in the Snowy Roads level. Get ten consecutive kills without being killed.

  • Elevators level

    Begin game play on the Highway Loop level. Make sure that there are no more than one (preferred) or two enemies remaining. Go to the bridge with the gap in it. Go to the side opposite the long tunnel. Facing away from the bridge and to the left on the other side of the wall, you can see two round towers at what seems to be a powerplant. Hit the one closest to the bridge with a gas can. It will pop off and start rolling toward the bridge. Make sure you and none of the enemies are in its path or it will break. It will slowly jump the bridge and will make a hole just inside the tunnel. You will find the cube inside.

  • Yellow Jacket

    Play the Junkyard level and shoot down the airplane that circles around. A fire missile will do the job, as long as the jet is the only thing in view. The jet will catch on fire, circle, and crash into a wall in the lowest area of the level, that leads to a underground tunnel. The suspended crate's opening faces this area. Follow the tunnel under the sewers, collect the weapons and health, and continue until you see a control panel attached to a large column in the middle of a circular room. Shoot the control panel and a message stating Yellow Jacket has been unlocked will appear. Yellow Jacket will appear inside the destroyed column.

  • Warthog

    Start the Suburbs level and go to the entrance to the carnival. Turn left and jump off a hill to land on top of a building with a structure on top of it. Blow up the structure to reveal a hole in the building. Fall through the hole and destroy the panel. A message stating Warthog has been unlocked will appear.
