The story follows up from the first game, having a man named Calypso host a vehicular combat tournament called Twisted Metal, in which combatants fight to the death for the prize of one wish granted by Calypso.

Akin to other games in the series, Head-On revolves around the same theme of a man named Calypso holding a vehicular combat tournament called " Twisted Metal " with the promise of granting the winner whatever they ask for.

The game's plot centers on Sweet Tooth, the long-time mascot of the titular Twisted Metal competition, overthrowing Calypso, the mysterious organizer of the competition, in a coup d ' état.

As his wish, he desires to become the star of Twisted Metal, which Calypso gladly grants.

At first revered by the chaos he created, as time went on Sweet Tooth became jealous of Calypso, until he decides to initiate a coup d ' état helped by a group of midget clowns, and takes control of Twisted Metal.

The basis of the plot follows the same structure as in all the previous games: Calypso runs a car-based contest called Twisted Metal ( though in the game the contest is never called that ), in which the various characters compete risking their lives to claim the tournament's prize-any single wish they desire, no matter the difficulty, rarity or even reality of such wish.
