Tower Tooth is a vehicle from Twisted Metal: Head-On. It is the final boss of the game.
It is piloted by Marcus Kane (Roadkill), and Needles Kane (Sweet Tooth).
Design[]
The vehicle is comprised of four Sweet Tooth ice cream trucks resting atop a platform between two caterpillar tracks. The trucks support a giant metal beam which then supports a gigantic restaurant with a clown head mascot on its roof. The restaurant itself shows pieces of pavement and soil left over from when Tower Tooth rose out of the ground. The name Tower Tooth is fitting, for it is the tallest vehicle in any Twisted Metal game to date. It is also to be noted that the tower part above the ice cream trucks has a sort of radar effect, and looks/points towards the closest enemy.

Special Weapons[]
| Special | Damage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Flamethrower | 1 pt per flame hit (10 pts total) | It shoots a flamethrower that will follow the target. While playing as Tower Tooth, this special can only be used when its health is in the green area. |
| Lightning | 10 pts per lightning hit | Once it enters its second form, its lower body cannot be harmed, and its only vulnerable point is now the head. Tower Tooth also begins to release a lightning attack similar to Outlaw's. While playing as it, this special is available when its health reaches the yellow zone. When this happens, the camera also zooms out to reveal the damaged upper body of the vehicle. |
Special Trait[]
Its Machine Gun attack is similar to Dark Tooth's, which in turn is also very similar to Sweet Tooth's special. It shoots Napalm Cones, that have a very high homing effect, and can be fired in rapid succession. After a while, the gun will overheat just like the usual machine guns and a few seconds must pass before it can be used again.
How to Unlock[]
It is unlocked to play on "Tower Tooth Challenge" after the player has finished Story Mode with five of the characters in the game.
Tower Tooth Challenge[]
There are rules for playing as Tower Tooth. It can only be played in Challenge Mode, and once it is chosen the arena cannot be chosen either, as it is automatically set so that it can only be used in Rome Death Match. This is due to its enormous height, and that a majority of the maps in the game cannot fit it, for there are too many structures in which it could not go under. The opponents are also predetermined, and the player has no option to choose the ones they would prefer. Tower Tooth is, however, selectable as an opponent in Rome Death Match if you choose someone else. Tower Tooth is not selectable online, but can be used in two player mode.
Trivia[]
- The player can catch a glimpse of Tower Tooth, and how it was found by Marcus and Needles, in Dark Tooth's Story Mode ending.
- The textures of both of Tower Tooth's heads appear to be taken from the cover art of Twisted Metal III.
