"Shut up and BLEED, you motherfu—"
—Needles Kane, Twisted Metal: Black

Needles Kane is the main protagonist and trademark character of the Twisted Metal series, notable for his flaming head, and has appeared in every Twisted Metal game to-date, driving Sweet Tooth. He has had many different looks, the first of which he has green hair and face paint, then he transitioned to the signature flaming hair. He then proceeded to wear a mask strapped onto his face, which first appeared in Twisted Metal: Black. He is also the leader of The Clowns, a playable faction in Twisted Metal (2012).

Often referred to as Sweet Tooth, Needles Kane is an insane killer clown who drives an ice cream truck. His face is seen on the cover of every Twisted Metal game to date. His character has gone through many different designs and versions. He also has the most ties with other characters in the series.

Personality[]

Known as the most twisted character in Twisted Metal (which is saying something), he is the very embodiment of hate, anger, and destruction on an epic scale.

Each interpretation differs from each game, but he has kept a consistent image throughout the series, being the poster mayhem icon for the series theme. Needles is truly evil, and thinks nothing of anything but the joy and desire of death and chaos. His character in Black and the 2012 reboot are his most famous incarnations of Sweet Tooth. A serial killer who uses a ice cream truck and demented clown theme to perform mass homicide on innocent people or fellow contestants. His mask is a part of his evil motives as he made it as an escape from his alter ego Marcus Kane.

Sweet Tooth is also the most colorful character; he dresses like a circus clown, and has a colorful vehicle with designs that match that of a local circus clown. He prides himself in being the best serial killer of all time and will stop at nothing to make sure his title remains intact. In some incarnations, he has a great love for ice cream and frozen treats: he keeps these in the back of his ice cream truck along with his various killing weapons and the bodies of his unfortunate victims.

Twisted Metal III[]

Needles Kane TM3

Needles Kane undergoes a radical change from Twisted Metal 2 to Twisted Metal III, from sinister stalker to maniacal insanity. His updated look in this installment plays up the circus side of his personality, giving him a more clownish look and a great fascination with ice cream and candy. This is one of two Twisted Metal games besides the original where Needles doesn't have flaming hair, instead having styled orange hair that resemble flames, the other being in TMSB. As with TM2, Needles is a secret character, but the player only needed to beat the game to unlock him, or input ←, ←, ←, →, → at the Password screen.

"If only all clowns were as sweet as Sweet Tooth, the world would be a much more psychotic place. This demented concessionaire bops around in his ice cream truck spreading merriment and salmonella. You'll also note that Sweet Tooth is down with the good humor: he'll be laughing the entire time he's launching the explosive head off the top of his truck. You'll have to earn this treat because Sweet Tooth is a hidden character available only after winning the game."

Vehicle: Sweet Tooth

Info: Male

Age: 42

Twisted Metal 4[]

Sweet Tooth TM4

In Twisted Metal 4, Needles Kane returns, now as the head of the Twisted Metal tournament, having overthrown Calypso. He is more of a ringmaster than a clown in this installment, but oddly remains silent for the entirety of the game, having one of his clown henchmen speak for him.

He is the final boss of TM4, and is considered one of the most difficult bosses in the series. In the same vein, Sweet Tooth's special attack in TM4 is considered the most overpowered and broken of any Special Weapon in the entire series.

Because he is the final boss, Needles doesn't have a unique ending, instead sharing the generic ending with the other bosses and custom cars.

Vehicle: Sweet Tooth

Age: ?

Demeanor: Evil

Story: When he was a child, the Twisted Metal competition - with Calypso at its head - came to his town. The contest was unlike anything Sweet Tooth ever laid eyes on. It gave him dreams of death and destruction, and so he followed the traveling tournament until he was able to enter as a contestant. Needles proved quite adept in combat and killed many opponents, but eventually grew dissatisfied. He felt that he was just a pawn, killing while Calypso grew stronger with each soul he collected. With this realization, he won the next tournament and made a wish to be the star of Twisted Metal. Now, after overthrowing Calypso, Needles rules the deranged demolition derby from his carnival-like lair, assisted by a horde of equally twisted clown minions. His newly-upgraded ice cream truck is the final challenge for anyone seeking to make a wish, but his sense of humor is just as bad as Calypso's when it comes to giving winners what they wanted.

The first time Needles murdered his original victim, he didn't even flinch. He did it as skillfully as a trained surgeon and without regrets. After the first one, it was obvious that he had found his calling in life. He quickly developed an insatiable thirst for blood. Sometimes his victims were meticulously hunted down, but most were randomly chosen and just unlucky to have crossed his path. No one was safe...

Story[]

Needles Kane is a feared serial killer terrorizing Midtown, well-known for his vast numbers of gruesome murders. One day, he is finally captured and sentenced to death via the electric chair. A preacher came into the observation room; he seemed to be someone intending to save Needles' soul, but he had other plans. When Needles was being electrocuted, the preacher shouted out to God to put a curse on Kane, to burn forever with the flames of hell. At that moment, Needles' head was set on fire, and he broke free from the bonds. He then gets beaten by four officers, managing to kill three in less than a minute, and puts his mask back on. Soon after, Needles is sent to Blackfield Asylum. For three months, the pain from the curse gets worse every day. Calypso came to visit and made Needles an offer: if Needles won his contest, Calypso would remove the curse. Needles enters the contest, intent on killing Calypso later.

 	Sweet_Tooth_(Needles_Kane)_-_Twisted_Metal_Black 	 			  

Dialogue[]

  1. "All I have to do to win is kill everyone I see? Well, boys and girls, that's the one thing I'm good at..."
  2. "The son of-a-bitch who put the curse on me has entered the contest. I'm gonna kill him.....nice and slow."
  3. "It isn't right. A man's head isn't meant to be set on fire. Not unless I'm the one holding the blowtorch..."
  4. "This joker won last year's contest. But I'm not afraid. I just need to get past his stupid shield and he's finished."
  5. "Damn preacher. Pious bastard. Think he never did wrong? You dig up his past, you'll be sickened by the truth..."
  6. "A small, tight space. Lots of people with no place to hide. For a butcher like me, it doesn't get better than this."
  7. "Up here I can look down on the city that fears me. I can smell their fear, and to be quite honest...I love it."
  8. "I recognize this freak. Used his little helicopter to capture me 3 months ago. Well boys 'n girls, it's payback time."

Ending[]

Needles won the contest and asked Calypso to make good on the promise to lift the curse. He gave Needles a vial that holds the blood of the preacher who cursed him on the night of his execution. If he drinks it, the curse will be gone, but Calypso also said if Needles goes back to his killing ways, the antidote will wear off and the curse will return to haunt him. Within ten seconds, Needles chose to live with the curse rather than to give up his priorities, so he crushed the vial underfoot. He then kills Calypso by beheading him with a knife. With Calypso lying dead and free, Needles intends to be the greatest killer of all time.

Twisted Metal: Small Brawl[]

Story: Meet the youngest & the most mischievous of all the kids in the neighborhood! He enters the contest wanting a little ice cream...

Twisted Metal: Head-On[]

TMHONeedlesKane

Needles Kane, in this game, is revealed to be the split personality of Marcus Kane, the driver of Roadkill. As with Twisted Metal 4, Needles' goal in this tournament is to take over Twisted Metal itself—in his ending, he claims that he has participated in (and won or at least survived) many previous tournaments, but now he wants a change.

Screen shot 2012-02-05 at 5.10

In this tournament, if Marcus gives into his Needles persona, the two become the driver of Dark Tooth and Tower Tooth, the game's last two bosses. In this game, he is voiced by Fred Tatasciore.

In the wake of his ending in Twisted Metal: Black, Needles continues his murderous profession by haunting the streets of Midtown, looking for his next victims. His brother, the driver of Yellow Jacket, is trying to kill him before he can kill another innocent, after which he plans to kill himself to end his blood-stained family line.

Twisted Metal (2012)[]

Kane Family

Kane Family

In this installment, Needles generally goes by "Sweet Tooth" or "Marcus Kane", while only his followers still refer to him as Needles. His passion for finding "the one that got away"—the only one of his would-be victims that managed to escape alive—is the driving force of his story and his motivation for entering the new Twisted Metal tournament.

His real name is Marcus Kane, a middle-aged man who lived a decent life. Happily married and a father of four, he worked as an ice cream salesman, handing out treats from his future demolition vehicle. However, a small part of him was filled with resentment and hatred for his mundane life, eventually manifesting as a split personality. This dark side, dubbed "Needles", began eating at the edges of Marcus' sanity, trying to convince him to set it free.

After an unknown period of time, Marcus finally gave in to Needles' demands, externalizing the facet of himself by creating a macabre clown mask. Unfortunately, this allowed Needles to subdue or destroy Marcus' personality, effectively bringing the man's repressed madness and sadism to the forefront. To celebrate his new freedom, the newly-named Sweet Tooth donned the clown mask (somehow setting his head ablaze in the process) and decided to murder "his" family.

Marcus' wife, youngest son and baby were quickly slaughtered, but Sweet Tooth took his time with his daughter. He would later admit this was a mistake, as it gave the girl time to grab a pair of large scissors and drive them towards the mad clown's right eye (hitting just under). As Sweet Tooth reeled in pain, Sophie fled into the night, becoming the first—and only—person that survived Sweet Tooth's murderous urges.

Infuriated at this turn of events, Sweet Tooth vowed to find his daughter and "make her BLEED." He began roaming the world in his ice cream truck—modified for combat and destruction—in search of the one that got away. At one point, he was able to track Sophie to a hospital, but found no sign of her beyond the "scent of her fear". On the other hand, Sweet Tooth took great pleasure in slaughtering everyone that got in his way on the way up, musing that "It was like Christmas morning: every hallway filled with...little, tiny, blood-filled gifts."

After killing yet another woman on the hunt for Sophie, Sweet Tooth decides to enter Calypso's latest Twisted Metal contest, intent on using his wish to finally catch up with his elusive prey. During the competition, his main opponents are The Skulls, led by Mr. Grimm. In the final battle of the tournament, Sweet Tooth was pitted against The Brothers Grimm, but managed to emerge victorious at the cost of his gunner's life.

Ending[]

After he wins the contest, Sweet Tooth wishes for Calypso to send him to Sophie's hiding place. As Calypso used his powers, Sweet Tooth awakens to find himself in a coffin, complete with a blackened skeleton lying on top of him. Calypso reveals that Sophie has been dead for ten years; her mind broken by the murder of her family, she committed suicide long before her father found the hospital she had lived in since that night. Infuriated at Calypso's trickery, Sweet Tooth futilely attempts to escape his daughter's coffin while swearing to kill him, but he is far too deep in the ground to make any progress. As a final insult, Calypso spray-paints "Sweet Tooth" on Sophie's tombstone, leaving the murderous clown to die of suffocation.

At the end of the game (during the credits), it is revealed that Sweet Tooth realized that his oldest son was hiding very close to where he had his final confrontation with Sophie. Despite this, the killer chose to spare Charlie Kane, leading the latter to see himself as the heir to his father's work. Having apparently heard of Sweet Tooth's passing, Charlie made good on his destiny by digging up Sophie's coffin, containing both her and her father, and retrieving the clown mask. Donning the mask and setting his own head alight, Charlie set off in Sweet Tooth's old truck, swearing to avenge his father's murder by doing the same to Calypso.

Later still, Calypso himself visited the grave, musing that Sweet Tooth had impacted Sophie in a way that gave her great potential for causing pain. Deciding to make use of the girl's rage and hatred, Calypso resurrected Sophie as a female version of her father, right down to the clown mask and flaming scalp.

In a PlayStation Magazine article, David Jaffe stated that the cut scenes are pretty disturbing for Sweet Tooth's story.

He also claims that his truck makes the best ice cream there is, but that no one ever asks about it.

Needle's fighting style is made up of "brutal attacks" with his machete. Some of his specials are Sweet Bot and Nuke Launch. He can also shoot missiles and wield a chainsaw. His rival is the similarly-bloodthirsty Kratos from God of War.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • Needles Kane is considered the mascot of the Twisted Metal series.
  • Needles Kane is often referred to as Sweet Tooth, the name of his truck. This happens in the official ending of TM(1995) (but not the Lost Ending) and the TM2 endings. It also happens in TMIII and TM4, but happens to many other drivers in those games as well. Needles is referred to as Sweet Tooth in the newspaper headlines in TM:B, and is referred to as Sweet Tooth by Calypso in TM(2012). As a result, Calypso in TM:H-O has been the only person to call him by his actual name.
  • Needles Kane (dubbed "Michael") appeared in a 2011 live-action PlayStation commercial, sitting at a table playing chess with Sackboy, the mascot of another Sony franchise, LittleBigPlanet.
  • Needles is one of three characters to have appeared in every Twisted Metal game, along with Calypso and Mr. Grimm.
  • His surname, Kane, is an alternate spelling of Cain, who was infamous for being the first of murderers in the Holy Bible after he killed his brother Abel out of jealousy.
  • Sweet Tooth is the only character in Twisted Metal that would actually dethrone Calypso and take control of the contest (TM4 & TM:H-O).
  • In TM(1995) and TMIII, Needles does not have his trademark flaming head.
  • It is possible that Needles could be based off the serial killer John Wayne Gacy, judging by how he has no remorse, and, as stated in his file in TM:B, he has homicidal tendencies. Another point is that he killed his youngest son in TM(2012), which links to what the real life homicidal clown who killed his only son (who was at the age of 5) in his sleep.
  • Needles is considered one of the most famous characters in the series because of his appearances in each and every one of the Twisted Metal games.
  • Sweet Tooth's favorite flavor of ice cream is probably strawberry, as we mostly see him holding a cone with a pink scoop of ice cream.
  • Ed Boon (One of the creators of Mortal Kombat) said that he thought about putting Needles in Mortal Kombat (2011) as a playable fighter. Kratos was chosen instead. Incidentally, both Needles and Kratos were created by Dave Jaffe.
  • Needles Kane is the epitome of what people with a "fear of clowns" (or Coulrophobia) think about all clowns, who are depicted as homicidal killers, evil maniacs, and sexual deviants towards people with this disorder. Though loosely based on this, Needles does exhibit the callousness and brutality expressed in this disorder; he probably used the mask as an intimidation tool to terrify his victims. Also, the complete randomness of his murders (as evidenced by him killing a staff member of the asylum) shows how people with this disorder depict clowns as evil and irrational beings that are wildly unpredictable as to what they would do next.
  • In April 2015, ScrewAttack placed him #3 in the Top 10 Psycho's in Video Games list.
  • In TM(1995) and TM:SB, his wishes are somewhat alike; his wish in TM(1995) was a paper bag, and his wish in TM:SB was ice cream, though he really wanted the ice cream truck.
  • In the Season 8 episode of SpongeBob SquarePants titled "Demolition Doofus", there's a character named "The Cackling Cruiser" who is a clown. Due to him being in a demolition derby event, this could possibly be a reference to Needles and Sweet Tooth.

Twisted Metal 2[]

  • This game marks the first appearance of Needles with his signature flaming hair.
  • Needles' wish is based on The Metamorphosis.

Twisted Metal III[]

  • Unlike the last and following game, Needles' hair in Twisted Metal 3 appears to be merely styled in a flame-like appearance as opposed to being literally on fire.
  • Similar to the various other personality overhauls returning characters received, Needles; serial killer history is seemingly downplayed in this game, merely presenting him as insane. His wish, rather than anything malicious, is simply to eat all the candy and ice cream in the world.

Twisted Metal 4[]

  • Needles is only referred to as "Sweet Tooth" throughout the entirity of Twisted Metal 4, completely dropping the Needles Kane moniker.
  • Despite being the lead character in the game, Needles never speaks, instead using Melvin as an inbetween to talk to the player character.
  • There could have been a possibility of Needles having an info screen, as his TMIII info screen can be found in the game's files under the name "STOOTH.TIM[0]."
  • Magazine ads for Twisted Metal 4 depict a live photo of Sweet Tooth being cleaned outside a carwash by Needles' clown assistants. Needles himself can be seen sitting in a chair nearby reading a magazine, but the actor is wearing a costume modeled after the Twisted Metal III Needles design as opposed to the Twisted Metal 4 design.

Twisted Metal: Black[]

  • It is revealed after you unlock Minion that the events of TM:B take place within the mind of Sweet Tooth.
    Needles Kane Action Figure

    Action figure of Needles Kane.

  • It is revealed that Needles is the older brother of Charlie Kane's son.
  • Needles' mask was created by Mr. Kreel, the former boss of Dollface, whom he punishes by locking in a mask.
  • An action figure was created for Needles Kane following the release of TM:B. One was made for Mr. Grimm as well.
  • Needles originally stabbed Calypso in the stomach in his ending rather than slashing his throat.

Twisted Metal: Small Brawl[]

  • TM:SB is the only game in which Needles isn't a serial killer (at least not yet). Rather, he is just a mischievous child.

Twisted Metal: Head-On[]

  • Needles' newest design draws heavy inspiration from his appearance in Twisted Metal: Black, the biggest difference being that he does not wear a mask, instead wearing facepaint modeled after said mask.
  • In his ending, Needles implies that he has won the contest more than once (or survived them) when he asks Calypso "We've been doing this a long time, haven't we?"

Twisted Metal (2012)[]

  • It is possible that the events of the new Twisted Metal game may be the results of Sweet Tooth's victory in TM:B or TM:H-O, though this is merely theory. TM:B was based on Sweet Tooth's mind, while in TM:H-O, he and Marcus Kane finally merged together.
  • Needles is apparently the 884th person to compete in the Twisted Metal contest.
  • Sweet Tooth was played by actors Adam Dunnells as Marcus Kane, and Paul Vinson as Needles.
  • An earlier version of Sweet Tooth's introduction can be found on youtube with scrapped quotes and small edit differences.
