Now Slaying is the final level in Twisted Metal: Small Brawl. It's a small arena, and the player has to defeat 4 enemies, with each enemy defeated spawning Piecemeal, the game's final boss. Upon completing the level, the game is over, and the player gets to watch their chosen character's ending.
Description[]
- "Your favorite movie house has decided to show a boring love story and it's got you sick to your stomach! What happened to all the great horror and action flicks from last summer? Well it's intermission time, so it's the perfect time to clean up this theater before it shows any more mushy movies!"
- —The game's manual.
A small arena consisting of various chairs, a stage, a popcorn machine and a few trash cans. The movie screen shows the player's gameplay, similar to Drive-in Movie from Twisted Metal: Black.
Hazards[]
- Fire Extinguisher: While incredibly hard to pull off, players can fire at the fire extinguisher, which will fly towards and hit a random target. This is useful against the Piecemeal boss.
Boss[]
Piecemeal.
Piecemeal appears at the front of the stage every time the player kills an enemy, and disappears back to the stage every time he has taken 25% damage (with the exception of the fourth time).
The pickups take a while to reappear, making it difficult to load up on Fire Missiles, Remote Bombs, etc. Make sure you save strong weapons for the boss.

Tips[]
- Take the Health pickups where Piecemeal appears at the front of the stage. Sometimes he may pick it up when spawning on the level. You do not want this to happen!
- Power missiles, roman candles, napalms and remote bombs are useful against Piecemeal due to his huge size. Be careful because sometimes, weapons will fly below his wheels and miss him.
- Piecemeal ALWAYS reappears with a shield. So when he's approaching, stay away from the screen and from Piecemeal himself. When his shield disappears, it's time to attack!
Trivia[]
- This is one of four levels to feature a green glow on your vehicle. The others are Shock Therapy, Buster's Lanes and Holiday Havoc.
- When looking at the stage picture at the "Select Battleground" screen, the movie screen shows a UFO.
- When playing on the Hard difficulty, there is a glitch where Piecemeal's health depletes by 23% ONLY the first time he appears. This trick is good for beating the game with Trapper on Hard and unlocking Piecemeal.
- Players can shoot or drive into the popcorn machine to make it roll off and break an area of the stage, which has Power Missile, Health, & Turbo pickups.
- Players can shoot the chairs for an escape route, but it takes some time to destroy them. The boss version of Piecemeal can easily destroy the chairs just by driving through them.
- If a player shoots at the trash cans at the back corners of the level, trash will fly out.
- The background music for this stage contains elements of "Circus Metallicus" featured in the Arena Duel level from Twisted Metal (1995).
