Endings

Retail Ending

You are the winner of the competition and are granted an audience with Calypso, the creator of the Twisted Metal contest.

As you speed into his underground garage, you spot him, surrounded by bodyguards and seated on a throne of broken car parts. His face is burnt beyond recognition. His smile is hideous. He speaks:

"As you know, I shall now grant any prize you request."

"I was a captain in the Jungle Wars of South America," you tell him. "I lost my entire platoon. I sent them straight into an enemy trap."

"And now as your prize you want a second chance. You want me to send you back in time so you can save them. I don't recommend it, Captain." Calypso tries to warn you about the dangers of such a request, but you refuse to heed his advice. Realizing your mind is made up, Calypso simply shrugs and agrees to grant your wish.

You should have listened to the guy. You are sent back in time, dropped into the middle of a raging South American war. Before you have time to save your platoon you are shot at point blank range by an enemy soldier. You die instantly.

The next day, back in 2005, two high school kids find your car sitting in the middle of a dirt field. They steal it, speed off, and vow to enter next year's contest using your vehicle!

Trivia

• Captain Spears is one of two characters who have a military rank but did not drive Warthog, the other being Mr. Grimm in Twisted Metal: Black.
• Captain Spears is one of two characters in Twisted Metal (1995) who have a negative end result, along with Carl Roberts.
• His backstory and ending would later inspire Agent Stone's in Black, as the latter's ending in said game is similar to Spears'. Both are men working for the government who made a mistake in the past that resulted in the accidental deaths of others and enter the contest to win and undo the mistake that both men had made. In their endings, they travel back to the time that made their mistake, but before they do, Calypso asks both men if they really want their wish and asks if they know the consequences, they both accept. But unfortunately, both men die trying to fix their mistake by an enemy, except Spears wasn't able to save the people he wanted to help, whereas Stone succeeds, although it does happen in the lost ending.
