People who dislike the installment's story mode would at least still play it for PlayerVersusPlayer mode. See AudienceAlienatingEra above.

** Buster Cobb's probably the only ''Twisted Metal 3'' character (or rather, car) that has at least some semblance of fan-following.
** Quatro and Orbital are probably the only characters introduced in ''4'' that fans like, though this is attributed to either making a wish that was worth a damn, or being a badass bounty hunter that doesn't fall for the traps of Twisted Metal. It also helps that the rest of the cast are, put very bluntly, annoying and cartoonish.

** Buster Cobb and his car Auger in ''III'' is seen as this compared to Simon Whittlebone and Mr. Slam from ''2'', with the former being seen a far worse duplicate. Doesn't help that, compared to Simon's ending being one of the most iconic endings in the series, Buster's is often seen as one of the worst thanks to the extremely blatant MotiveDecay on his part.
Added DiffLines:
* TakeThatScrappy: The Joneses from ''4'', even in their limited screentime, are very easy to see as extremely obnoxious, constantly interrupting both Melvin and each other when asking for their wish. As such, no tears are shed when Sweet Tooth drives their new RV off a cliff, with many [=YouTube=] comments saying they would’ve done the same thing.

* EsotericHappyEnding: {{Inverted}} with Carl/Buzz and Jamie Roberts' ending in ''III''; The two of them wish for a world free of crime, and Calypso seemingly grants it without repercussions… with the only "catch" that the two police officers are out of a job, seemingly completely ignoring the fact that police officers do more than just arrest criminals or they can just get new jobs. This is the reason their ending is often cited as one of if not the worst ending in a game that's already chock-full of some of the worst endings in the series.

** The "Lost" endings to the original ''Twisted Metal'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoFs8REgq8I in all their live-action glory.]]
** Due to budget issues, the endings of the unlockable characters in ''Black'' are mainly 2D slideshows compared to the 3D cutscenes the main characters sport, which takes away quite a bit of the drama inside them. Axel's ending suffers this the worst; what would normally be a MomentOfAwesome of Axel taking out Needles is more or less completely tarnished by the extremely limited animation.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The "Lost" endings are full of these, particularly whenever a contestant's winnings are raised up by Calypso... which consists of the camera panning ''down'' to them.

*** [[MalevolentMaskedWoman Dollface]], real name Krista Sparks, is a [[ItsAllAboutMe vain and selfish]] model who, in order to get to the top, sabotages several models on a catwalk and outright murders one of them with a sledgehammer after said model is chosen for a prize photo shoot. After an accident which badly damages her face, and which her doctor was only able to mostly fix after several surgeries--leaving only a small scar on her face--Dollface decapitates him with a chainsaw. Before joining Twisted Metal in order to remove her mask and become beautiful again, she gained several mooks with the same thinking as her, and when one of her mooks asks Dollface if most of them will get their wishes, Dollface [[BadBoss shoots her]].

* CommonKnowledge: It's commonly said that Catfish, the driver of Hammerhead in ''Head-On'', has the true first name of Zeke, due to his ending having Calypso saying that name. However, Calypso was referring to the assistant who helped him set up the decoy Catfish shot rather than Catfish himself.

*** Sweet Tooth in 4 is the undisputed most overpowered, gamebreakingly ridiculous character in the entire series. This is due to his Special Attack, which can practically destroy weaker cars with 1 shot, and traps the target in an electrical surge, rendering movement almost impossible. This in turn, makes the targets sitting ducks for a second hit. It is so powerful that landing just one, and mind you it has homing capability and very long range, essentially guarantees a kill.

* SNKBoss: Sweet Tooth in 4. If a single Special Attack from him connects, you're basically dead.

* SpiritualSuccessor: After making ''Twisted Metal 2'', Singletrac was bought by GT Interactive and lost the Twisted Metal license. This lead them to create two stand-alone vehicular combat games: ''VideoGame/RogueTrip: Vacation 2012'' and ''VideoGame/CriticalDepth''. Both games ended up leaving their mark on the series - ''Black'' adopted the visible damage indicator and slightly more involved storytelling of ''Critical Depth'', and ''Rogue Trip'''s faster pace and more interactive arenas.

* BreatherBoss: Minion in ''4'' is one of these, not only compared to his level, but also the Slamm and Auger double team before him and Sweet Tooth himself afterwards. His difficulties navigating his own maze and a special weapon that tends to whiff (especially against small cars) make for a pretty laughable fight.
