Sweet Tooth
A murderous clown driving the ice-cream truck Sweet Tooth, one of the series’ signature combatants.
How it plays
The game uses a third-person perspective behind the selected vehicle. The main objective is to destroy rival vehicles, collect weapons, and survive each arena or tournament stage.
Players steer, accelerate, reverse, drift around hazards, fire weapons, and activate a vehicle-specific special attack. Story mode progresses through a sequence of battles, while multiplayer offers competitive arena matches. Environmental objects and pickups can affect positioning and tactics.
Plan your run
Conserve powerful weapons until opponents are grouped or vulnerable, and learn each arena’s pickups and hazards.
Keep moving rather than trading shots in the open. Use your vehicle’s special attack when it can secure a finish or escape, and practice reversing and turning because collisions can leave a vehicle exposed.

Before you begin
