Special Weapon

It can be unlocked as a playable vehicle upon completing Tournament Mode once as any character, or inputting at the Password screen.

Trivia

• In most of the scenes from the introduction cutscene, Sweet Tooth does not have a flaming clown head adorned on top of it. Only having the pole for which the head rests on. However, the head shows up for a few frames when The Joneses is on screen.
• Sweet Tooth's paintjob in the intro is completely different from the one in-game.
• Sweet Tooth's Special Weapon is called "Henchmen." However, when the player is destroyed by a CPU Sweet Tooth's Henchmen, the "Destroyed by ___________" message that appears on-screen erroneously refers to it as "MIRVBaby", which is the attack's internal name.
• This version of Sweet Tooth's special is considered the most overpowered character in the entire series, likely referencing Needles' wish to be the star of Twisted Metal in the game's intro.
• Sweet Tooth's head atop the truck in TM4 has a fire effect which can burn other cars. However, this fire can also be extinguished, and it won't light up again.
• Sweet Tooth's head in the main menu has no fire effect, being part of the model instead.
• In an early version of the game dated September 29, 1999, Sweet Tooth's special was not made yet; with it launching a Power Missile instead.
