Bio Dialogue[]
- "We, the Jones family, would like to say to our fans out there-- and there's lots of ya-- that we're thankful for your support! And will try to meet all of yous, so we can say thanks much. And we'll visit with ya, and... we probably need to stay with you a little while 'til... uh... we, uhh... y'know, move on and visit someone else. Yep, that's it from us to you good people out there in Fan Land!"
Story (Manual)[]
Meet the Jones family: There's Ralph, wife Meg, son Mitch and kid sister Tammy. "We're just like any family you might have as neighbors," says Ralph. "We believe in ethics, morals, and doing things together." On the weekends they all like to get into their trusty seventies vintage station wagon and go blow things to bits. Ralph feels that Twisted Metal Tournaments have brought the family closer together. He drives most of the time and Meg gets a real kick out of launching missiles. Pretty soon young Mitch will get a turn at the wheel. This is all too exciting for Tammy. She just rides in the back seat and screams her guts out. A trio of devastating homing missiles is the family wagon special weapon.

Trivia[]
- Mitch has the Twisted Metal III logo on his shirt.
- They are a parody of the Griswalds from the National Lampoon's Vacation film series.
- Their last name is a reference to the phrase "Keeping up with the Joneses".
- If you pay close attention to Calypso's ending, once he and Sweet Tooth become trapped in the ring and it falls to the ground below, a boy resembling Mitch is the one who picks it up. This however may be simply a reused model.
- Mitch also bears somewhat of a resemblance to Sweet Tooth when he was a boy in the opening intro of the game.
- As far as likability and social skills goes, the Joneses are highly annoying, made evident by Melvin becoming very irritated of hearing their wish, and later in their ending (with Sweet Tooth as their driver), which ultimately got them killed. Furthermore, it might explain their frequent traveling.
- It is possible that the Joneses have no home, and instead are either living in their car or they live in different people's houses as stated in their bio.
