The Oil Rig is the sixth level in Twisted Metal 4. It's a small-sized arena, and the player has to defeat 5 enemies, and then the stage bosses Super Slamm and Super Auger, to advance. Upon completing the level, the player is taken to Minion's Maze.
Description (Manual)[]
Cruise the rig while fighting for your life. Sheer drops guarantee instant death while a mysterious helicopter cruises overhead. Move through this world ferreting our hidden transporters or rolling up ramps. If you don't get drilled first, you might go for the gusher.

Tactics & strategies[]
- Do not fall off, because it will instantly destroy your vehicle. But if you do happen to plummet into the "ocean", perform a Hyperspace (
) to get back onto the arena. If you do not have enough energy for this, you are basically done for. - There is a helicopter that flies over the map. It lays a partial health on the helipad once in a while. If you destroy the helicopter, it will drop a health and several weapons on the helicopter pad. However, once you pick up the health, it won't respawn, so only take down the chopper if you have no other choice.
- When fighting Super Auger and Super Slamm, you can win the fight without any effort: go to the helipad. When you're there, lay a Freeze remote on the edge facing the building with the ramp that leads to the helipad. When one of the bosses jump, detonate the freeze remote when they are close to the helipad and watch them fall off. Why is that useful? Because a frozen vehicle cannot hyperspace. Super Slamm will never survive this because it is too slow to make the jump, but Super Auger is slightly faster so it has a much greater chance of landing on the helipad. Sometimes, Both bosses are also attacking each other in addition to the player.
- There is a teleporter which takes you above the drill. This area has lots of weapons, including a Lightning item. The lightning strikes enemy vehicles in the center of the map.
Trivia[]
- This map is (supposed to be) set in the middle of the ocean, but if one falls off the rig, they will find out that there is no water.
- The Oil Rig is one of the two levels in the game that has no Full Health pickups (The other being Minion's Maze).
