Create Car

Create Car is a Game Mode found in Twisted Metal 4 which allows for the customization of a unique car. Unfortunately, Twisted Metal 4 is the only game so far that incorporates this feature.

Choose Battlecry

Whenever your character fires the special weapon, the chosen battlecry will be quoted. Some sound silly, serious or creepy. Choose from one of fifteen quotes. Press Circle to preview the sound effect.

The quotes appear to be originally intended for the default vehicles, but instead were scrapped and offered for Create Car mode.

• "Big time pain!" (??)

• "Flame on, baby!" (Drag Queen)

• "Crispy fried punk!" (Super Thumper)

• "Do you feel lucky?" (Mr. Zombie)

• "Hail to the king, baby!" (??)

• "I'm going to bust you up!" (Super Thumper)

• "It's on, baby!" (Super Thumper)

• "Ooh... that's gotta hurt!" (The Joneses)

• ""I've got half a mind to waste you, punk!" (Orbital)

• "I'll make you shiver when I deliver!" (Pizza Boy)

• "Yo, wussup?!?!" (Super Thumper)

• "Ha-ha-ha... You suck!" (General Warthog)

• "Is that cryin' I hear?" (General Warthog)

• "You don't have the guts, wussy!" (General Warthog)

• "Mess with the best, die like the rest!" (General Warthog)

Enter Name

Now you get to enter your car's name. Enter whatever name suits your car and press END when finished. Afterwards, you will be asked if you want to save via Memory Card. If you don't save, don't have a memory card or if you don't have enough space, then you will be able to use the car, but not able to save it.

Save Create Car

You can save up to 36 cars all at once! Choose the spot shown by a car to where you want to save your created car. Blue slots are vacant while green slots are occupied. You can only save if you have enough space on your Memory Card.

Ending

Twisted Metal 4 - Custom Car's Boss' Ending

Note: This ending is shared with all of the boss vehicles of the game.

Trivia

• Although you can create a vehicle that highly resembles that of Crimson Fury, it can also be considered that this particular car resembles even more to the secret vehicle, The Barracuda, piloted by Agent 326 from Critical Depth. Critical Depth was created by SingleTrac, the creators of Twisted Metal (1995) and Twisted Metal 2, and even used the same engine as Twisted Metal (1995) but was further enhanced.
• The selectable Special Weapons featured in Create Car mode have never been used again in any Twisted Metal game to date.
• The Detno Ball special weapon is based off Sweet Tooth's special weapon from Twisted Metal III.
• When you are going to name your created car, it is possible to spell out every character's name used previously in the Twisted Metal series, even Crimson Fury (Minus the space, since the name of a custom vehicle can only be as long as 11 characters, including spaces).
• Judging by the description given to the "Funny Bomb" special weapon in the Create Car mode which states "Range: Detonate", it can be considered that it was supposed to be a land mine which is set under or behind the player when activated and then the player had to remotely detonate, similar to General Warthog's special weapon.
• For some reason, when saving a car with the same name as a car in the game (ex. Orbital), when you select it, you will automatically die when starting the match.
• The "Medium Car 1" has the same model as a discarded vehicle from Twisted Metal III, as seen in early footage of the game.
• In an early version of the game from September 29, 1999, a few differences can be noted in Create Car, which are listed below.
  • The Color C from the Small Car 2 didn't feature the black line going from the hood to the back.
  • The Large Car 1 models had a bumper when options were turned on.
  • The A and C Colors from Large Car 2 were different, with Color A lacking the military camo and Color C being a deep blue.
  • The Large Car 3 models lacked the flames in all of its color options.
  • The special Funnybomb used to be another one named "Funnymine", described as: "Bomb which signals when an enemy is close. Detonate at the signal!". The description seems to indicate that the bomb would play a sound which you could hear far away indicating that an enemy is next to it, allowing you to detonate it at the right moment. However, it doesn't really work in-game.
  • The special Laser used to be named "Taser", and its description, as well as its name, suggested that it was the same one used by Outlaw/Meter Maid: "Electric shock beam which zaps all opponents that come into range." In-game, however, it's just the Laser special from the final game, with its HUD name also being named "Laser". It's likely that this special was changed at some point but the Create Car text wasn't updated.
  • The special Detnoball used to be named "Deathball", and it worked similarly than it does in the final game, only cruder. Its HUD name was also "8 Ball" for some reason.
