Trivia
- Minion's driver was not revealed until his playable appearance in Twisted Metal 2. No information on him was available in the first game.
- Although it is known that Minion won the tournament the year before the events of the original game, it is unknown what he could have wished for, or why he didn't wish for his revenge on Calypso like he did in TM2.
- According to Twisted Metal: Small Brawl's art director, Dave Goodrich, Minion was originally planned to appear as the final boss, but this was scrapped very early on in the game's development due to it being intended for younger audiences. He was replaced by Piecemeal as the end boss instead. Minion was cut so early on in the game's development that no real plans were made for him, other than a quick sketch of the driver, who was supposed to be a child wearing a devil suit. His R/C car was never designed.
