This page details pre-release information and/or media for Twisted Metal: Small Brawl.

To do:
Add more info from Dave Goodrich (one of the devs) talking about Darkside and his cut endings and possibly other characters in the future. Does his streams dripfeeding info about the game count as a source?)

Cut Ending#

There was an ending for the character Axel, but it got cut due to the fact that the developers thought that the cutscene would've been considered offensive to those who had disabilities involving their legs.

Character Concept Art#

Concept art of the characters have been posted by the artist Lee R Wilson on ArtStation.

Axel

Axel is spelled as Axle here and was supposed to be female, which might explain the spelling inconsistencies in-game.

Billy Calypso

Calypso had slightly more orange hair, like Sweet Tooth.

Darkside

Concept art of Jimmy Ash suggests, there might be a character model for their bios and maybe an ending cutscene.

Hammerhead

HammerHead wore a coat on his concept art stage.

Mime

Mime was an entirely different character, looking like a sports-oriented boy rather than the actress girl in the final game. Like Jimmy Ash, he would have a bio model and ending cutscene.

Slam

Spectre

Spectre has a more goth design than the shy ghost kid in the final game most likely due to being too much to Twisted Metal's actual Calypso.

Sweet Tooth

Twister

Twister had a more vibrant pink suit & orange hair.

Warthog

Warthog was more visibly chubby and didn't wear a full army outfit.

Level Concept Art#

Shock Therapy

The level was a lot more different, featuring even more hazards.
