The 2nd Edition Twisted Metal Minute is crashing through a windshield near you!

New Category for Twisted Metal 4!!!! We now have separated Individual Levels into separate categories. Tournament Levels (Campaign ILs) and Deathmatch (Customizable ILs) with more refinements on the way for Boss Characters and maybe even a Cheat% category for these 2 new ones.

Rules are changing for PS1 emulated games in the series! Showing Emulation speed will soon become mandatory for any verifiable runs. The PS2 Emulator PCSX2 has been banned from the PS1 Titles in the series as it, by default, has a roughly 2.2x Loading Time speed increase. Hardware wouldn't be able to keep up if it stayed as an option. Speaking of options soon to be moved, Twisted Metal 2: World Tour has had an important paradigm shift regarding a secret sitting in plain sight. Twisted Metal 2 PC has until now been hiding a 10 second shave off per load and a spammable input system with no theoretical limit. So now we have a new board under construction, announcing Twisted Metal 2 PC!!!! Who knows maybe even by time this article is posted the board will be fully operational. There is even plans to make guides to help with actually playing the PC version as it's quite quirky.

With all the sweeps that have happened since the last article you figure we won a damn Sweepstakes. This next section is dedicated to the Janitors killing it in these games.

Runner inSAMity has swept the entire Cheat% in Twisted Metal 1995 and Minion Cheat% in Twisted Metal 2 even receiving the first Sub 4 Easy Mode Cheat% ever. Speaking of first ever sub 4 for Easy Mode. I have personally broken the Sub 4 barrier as Outlaw 3 in Twisted Metal 3 Cheat% Creme Puff!!! Not to mention for the time being I have swept Twisted Metal 3 Cheat% Single player entirely! Including 2 records that remained standing for years. Still on the topic of Twisted Metal 3, runner VicariousNick has taken the record for 100% Medium Diff Category, in which you have to beat the game once as every vehicle. The run has improved over the prior record by over a half an Hour.

Then news about him, the Smallest Brawl of them all, Twisted Metal Small Brawl! Runner sharkywastaken has winded up a hell of a Spirit Bomb and destroyed All Challenge Levels on all Difficulties!

But wait...what's that...

All that was left to stop the 33 Run reverse sweep was my own Meet Your Maker Medium run. I'll have to retaliate to get my championship belt back but all jokes aside these runs are CRAZY

More Records have been broken on top of all of this, Small Brawl Cheat% has finally been beaten after a year and as a brand new off-meta character Crimson Fury! That was allllll me baby. sharkywastaken has also toppled Tournament Easy as the Semi you know and love, Darkside which used to be considered worse for runs then Outlaw and Thumper, well Darkside had so much potential hiding within. Runner Najawa11 is still just making constant improvements on ILs and raking in golds!

New runner cecron has debuted with Twisted Metal 4s new category Tournament levels,

New runner floppydisco62 has dropped right into TM2 and TM3 Cheat%s! Glad to have you guys!

Discoveries have been found in Twisted Metal 3 after years. As it turns out because no one would have really wanted to test this but if you use the built in cheat codes for removing items and health-kits from the map that the game runs significantly better and load times are improved, this new strat has been brought in by me to beat the prior supremacy in Cheat% is next level difficult as you can't pick up super weapons that are the strongest in the game like normal. Cheat% Pure Lunacy has been beaten with NO GOD MODE, NO DEATHS, NO SPECIAL MOVES BESIDES REAR ATTACK, SPECIAL ONLY!!!

And that's it for the Twisted Metal Minute this time! Stay tuned for more and keep it Twisted out there Drivers! Now for the showcase for all of the mentioned runners.
