Get All Costumes Trick
First you need 2 memory cards. Then get at least 60,000 credits. Then go to the unlocks menu with memory card 1 data being used and buy a costume but save it to memory card slot 2. Then go to options and select load settings then load memory card slot 1. (if you don't do this it won't work) After that go back to the unlocks menu and buy another costume and save on memory card slot 2. You MUST make sure you go back to options and select load settings then memory card slot 1 after each and every purchase. This also works for levels, mini games, and characters I  personally discovered it today and tried it. I now have every costume except sweet tooth. (I don't have twisted metal black)

Unlimited lives when facing a boss
Are you facing a boss and you are on the last stage of it but you cant beat him? Lets say you use all of your lives, then a sign should come up that says "Replay" or "Quit". Click replay and you will come back in the battle but you will have all of your lives and health and the boss will still have the same health!

Special Attack Recharge
In the Nuclear Power Plant arena, go to the column in the middle of all the buildings, climb to the top and stand there; now press x-up-Triangle (short range jump attack) this will activate the special attack recharger, just stand there and blast away. (recharges about 3 attacks, just repeat)

Endurance coins but really easy
You may know about the "Get coins in endurance mode" cheat but here's how to do it easily. First hit the monster a few times. Then get on the tallest building and start shooting him with the square button ( must be aiming!). Soon he will start pretty much not caring and just stand there. All you have to do is keep shooting him and do this over and over until your done. This does work but sometimes it takes longer for the bigger guys to not care. 

How to defeat Togera (the second monster)
AT THE MONSTER (CHARACTER) select screen choose Togera and when you start the battle hit square three times until your character releases all his spikes and jump away from him and hit square and keep doing that until your monster will not fire any more.

Easy Tokens
The Easiest way I found to Get Tokens Is after you have beat the game load the final boss level again and then u can beat him over and over every time getting 30,000 points.

Make a Tsunami  Wave
To make a title wave on the tsunopolis level look for a flying saucer floating over the water.  Jump on one of the buildings closest to the flying saucer. Then throw an object at it.  Make sure you are on a building or you will get hit by a wave

Get Massive Tokens (Endurance)
The Best way I've found for getting massive amounts of Tokens is this: Go to Endurance mode pick your best Monster (for me that's Congar). Pick Midtown Park Level. The best part of this level is it's just the right size and has plenty of power up's (especially once the place is leveled). it's simple really keep your special up and keep on fighting. I did 108 fights before I finally gave up and let them kill me. it got me well over 100K tokens.

Earning Battle Tokens Quickly
In order to purchase everything in the game, you'd normally have to play through the single player portion multiple upon multiple times. Not so. You're actually able to load a saved game without reverting back to the number of tokens you had at the time of the save. Any tokens you earn will always stay with you and add to your total, regardless if you load a saved game. You can also change the difficulty level and play a saved game at that new setting, which will earn you more tokens.

The best way to take advantage of this is to play all the way through the single player game on any difficulty setting, making sure you save when you reach the last boss. The last level gives you far and away the most tokens, and once you get the pattern down it's not an overly difficult battle. Every time you load that level, beat it and then save the game, your Battle Token total will increase by a nice amount.
You should earn a minimum of around 30,000 tokens for beating the last boss on Easy level, 45,000 on Medium, and 60,000 on Hard. Once you're able to beat Cerebulon on Easy mode, bump it up to Medium and then Hard difficulty. The fight normally takes around five minutes if you can beat him without having to continue, so it won't take long to earn enough credits to buy everything in the game.

Unlock Sweetooth from Twisted Metal
To unlock Sweet Tooth as a playable character, begin the game with a completed save from Twisted Metal: Black on your memory card. Sweet Tooth will be available as Agamo's fourth costume.

Make a Tsunami Wave
To make a title wave on the tsunopolis level look for a flying saucer floating over the water. Jump on one of the buildings closest to the flying saucer. Then throw an object at it. Make sure you are on a building or you will get hit by a wave.

Make an Earthquake in Baytown:
To make an earthquake in baytown  use a flying monster (Preytor or Raptos), destroy everything in the town (even cars), then looking away from the ocean on the top left corner of the town, there should be some sort of monument that you already destroyed. Now using your flying monsterfly as high as you candirectly over the dome shape and use a dive attack... That should start an earthquake...(if it doesn't work you probably missed something you should have destroyed)

Play as Mecha-Sweet Tooth:
Use a memory card with a saved file from Twisted Metal: Black with Sweet Tooth completed. A message stating that Mecha-Sweet Tooth will appear when the game loads. Then, play as Agamo and select costume #4. He is slow, but still laughs.

Easy Battle Tokens:
Save the game after defeating the Terror in Space stage. Fight Cerebulon (the last Boss), and if you defeat him without continuing this should net over 30,000 Battle Tokens. Save the game after you defeat him. Note: This will only save the settings and Battle Token count. Once you return to the main menu, reload to fight Cerebulon again. Defeat him again and earn more Battle Tokens. Repeat the process to keep getting large numbers of Battle Tokens.
If you are very skilled, play one player mode and select "Endurance". The more monsters you kill, the more Battle Tokens you will get.

To get extra Battle Tokens, destroy buildings. Every building is worth 50 Battle
Tokens and destroying various pickups will earn you 5 Battle Tokens. Try to destroy as many buildings and pickups while fighting the other monster.

Multi-player mode: Easy win:
Select Congar and trick your opponent to choose Midtown Park. When you start, pick a radio tower and head to the building that falls toward the center of the park. Lure your opponent there. When he passes in the path of the building , "impale" him with the radio tower. As soon as he is impaled, turn toward the building and do an long-range attack (at the building ). If done correctly, the building should land on your impaled friend, killing him instantly.

Making-Of Video
Complete Adventure mode as Zorgulon or Raptros.

All items:
Two memory cards are required for this trick. Get enough Battle Tokens to buy the most expensive item. Save the game on a memory card. Start buying items until you run out of Battle Tokens, then save the game on the second memory card. Reload the game from the first memory card and you will have your full Battle Tokens. Buy different items, then save the game on second memory card again. It will just keep adding items, still keeping the previous ones there. Repeat these steps until you have everything.

Atomic Island: Defeating Boss:
When the countdown for the meltdown starts, grab an explosive truck and hold onto it. When the Boss fight begins, wait until his first attack and throw it into his mouth. It should kill the first head instantly.

Play as Robo 47. Destroy all of the reactors. Then, find a tanker truck. When the plant head attacks, throw the truck. It should take out the first head. When the second head attacks, use your long range special (Triangle + Circle) to take it out. Get the special red sphere and dodge the vines by jumping. Dodge the goo balls then use your long range special again, just when it is about to attack you.

Atomic Island: Semi-melt down:
Look by the reactor towers to find a question mark. Head butt what is under it to start a semi-melt down.

Atomic island: Energy fountain:
Break open the central reactor tower. There will be a glowing blue fountain on top of what remains of the tower. Stand on top of it. While you are there, you will have unlimited energy until you drain the reactor. You should be able to use four or five special attacks before it drains. It will also recharge faster than most of the actual energy power-ups.

Go on the energy fountain and press Select. Wait and your monster will have glowing hands and will be much stronger for a short period of time.

Atomic Island: Nuclear waste flood:
When u go into the center and look right, there should be a high wall with no electric fence. On top should be a sewer grating-like object. Ground pound it, and nuclear waste will flood into the center area, killing enemies in seconds.

 Atomic Island: Skip to next level:
Use the following trick to advance to the next level without fighting the three headed plant. When you are done fighting the Kineticlops, the island will have a countdown at the top right of the screen. When it is counting down turn on the reactor. Jump into the reactor's fluids to kill yourself and advance to the next level.

Club Caldera: Eruption:
Climb up to the volcano. While in the volcano, climb one of the pillars. Head butt the top of the pillar (Up + Triangle while in the air) to start an eruption.

Hint: Club Caldera: Erupting Dive-Bomb:
Play as a flying character (Raptros or Preytor) and impale your opponent on the tall pillar inside the volcano usually before they make it erupt. Fly up as high as the game will allow and get above your opponent while he/she is still impaled. Do a Ground-Pound attack (Up + Circle, depending if using control type B). When you hit your opponent, they should go flying and get pounded by fireballs. It also may be easier to target your opponent.(L1 for control type B). This trick may also work  on the volcano level, but you have to find a way to impale your opponent.

Club Caldera: Spears:
There is a big building called "The Friendly Tiki". Smash the sign, then get the spears from the tiki head.

Gambler's Gulch: Sword weapon:
In front of one of the buildings is a large rock with a sword in it. Destroy the rock and pick up the sword. Also, on the giant dojo building, there is a smaller sword. Jump and pound the building once, wait until it starts to collapse, then grab it. You can impale other monsters with the smaller sword.

Gambler's Gulch: Flamethrower:
Before wrecking the giant dojo building, notice the Chinese dragon statue which breathes fire. When you destroy the building, you will be able to pick it up and easily defeat your enemy with it. Use it on the robot, after the dinosaur monster, because the robot is much harder to defeat. Keep swinging it around at him. When you think he has had about enough, lock onto him and throw.

Metro City: Defeating Preytor and Congar:
This is one of the hardest levels. When you start, you are put up against Preytor and Congar. Both of these monsters are capable of dealing combo strings of 10 and up. Use one of the quicker monsters such as Robo-47 or Preytor, and not Magmo or Agamo. First, take down Congar who is easier to hit than Preytor, who blocks all of the time. What seems to help is to block right next to him when he is down, so that he does not get many hits in. Once he is down, Preytor should not be to hard. Try to stay close to her. When she is low on health, she will run away and return nearly fully charged. Impaling greatly helps get her health down very quickly. If you use this strategy, she will go down in no time.

Midtown Park: Burning sky:
When playing in multi-player in Midtown Park, have one player start at the top of a skyscraper. The grounded player should quickly pick up a gas truck and throw it at the very high opponent, sending him flying backwards in flames as the building falls. Notice the square-shaped flames in the sky.

Midtown Park: Falling building:
Select any character and power your special meter all the way up. Get into the alley near the building that falls. Grab your opponent and throw him into the building. It falls on both of you, but it doubles the points you receive.

Midtown Park: Endurance mode:
For Endurance mode, play the Green Kinetoclops and use the long-range special as much as possible, for maximum effect. Smash the collapsing buildings down. More Special Attack globes can be found in the rubble. Also, you can impale and throw and electric generator (resembles three little towers). Impale and throw the other monster, hit it with Square a few times, then Triangle for maximum damage. Also, if teaming up, do a "tag-team" where one of you picks up the other and throws you at the enemy monster. The larger parked planes at Century airfield can be smashed and used to throw at enemies, and the smaller planes can also be thrown.

Outpost 10: Defeating the Helibot:
After beating up eight weak versions of Preytar, a giant robot will appear. It will throw three mines at a time. When they are thrown or appear red, run. When he is done, throw one of his explosives at him. He will eventually give up and try to grab you. Keep throwing the unbreakable boulder at him until he has no health remaining. Long range attacks also work well.

Tsunopolis: Tidal Wave:
On one side of this island is a floating UFO. Jump on one of the buildings. Throw an item from on top of it and hit the UFO. It will shoot a green laser beam down into the water, causing a tidal wave that comes up to half way up the buildings. It will hit anyone on the ground or on the lower half of the buildings and deals moderate damage to all of them.

If done correctly, UItra V's fist with launch as usual, but as it hits your opponent it will explode, causing more damage than the normal special. This also causes them to start on fire, then as usual, the special will bring the opponent back to you, allowing extra damage.

Defeating Cerebulon:
When you first fight him, he is in a full body of UFO armor and shoots an extremely powerful last cannon from his hands. Hide behind either of the pillars and hold R2 to block one (it breaks, and you will receive little damage). Or, jump on the buildings that are along the perimeter. Get beside one of the buildings that are slightly higher than the rest. Cerebulon will shoot the buildings before he hits you. However, you will most likely receive damage. After hitting him about seven times with throw able objects or ranged special attacks such as Preytor's Parasite or Kineticlops' Electric Bolt, he will strip off his armor and become a mechanical brain. To destroy this, pick up either of the two pieces of spacecraft that are indestructible and throw it. Hit him about six or seven times. He will damage you;
there is nothing you can do to stop his orange electric bolt attack that he does every ten seconds. Hit him as many times as you can with the spacecraft pieces. When the metal breaks off him, his real body will appear. He will do a 10-hit combo that takes off about half of your life -- block if he gets close to you. Do your best by combining good combos, special attacks, and throwing items. When he dies, you shall receive between 30,000 to 45,000 Battle Tokens, depending on how quickly you killed him.

At the far side of the field, his UFO is electric in the back. Go up as close as possible to the electricity and block. The Boss will hit you and you will get shocked, for no damage. When he touches you, he will get shocked, causing a fair amount of damage. If you have at least half of your health, lock on and run into the lightning. You will fly back and hit him, causing massive damage.

Other combos:
Impale your opponent inside the power plant at Atomic Island. Quickly turn on the lava flow. Note: This does not work well if the CPU is Preytor.
Impale your opponent, then throw a gas truck at them.
Throw a gas truck at your opponent, then a do special attack followed by a body slam.
Impale your opponent at Tsunopolis, then activate a tidal wave.
On Gambler's Gulch, find a Chinese-looking building and destroy it. Pick up the "flamethrower", whack your opponent with it, then do a special attack.
Play in multi-player with three player. Play as Robo-47, the second player as Ultra-V, and a random CPU player. Impale the CPU player, have Robo-47 do his "Homing Missile" special, then have the second player do the "Harpoon" special. Quickly grab a gas truck and throw it at the CPU player.
Throw multiple gas trucks at the enemy. This is best done at Atomic Island or Century Airfield.

Impale opponent:
Grab a pole (they resemble a flagpole cut in half) or a radio tower (usually on tall buildings). Throw them at your opponent. If you hit, they will not be able to move for a short while, thus allowing you to get in a few hits. You have to move quickly. After a little while, your opponent will pull it out and can throw it back at you, causing you to be impaled. If this happens, tap Square rapidly to pull it out.

Trample attack:
If you have a good amount of energy, and both you and your opponent are both on the ground, lock on to him and quickly press Up(2) on the D-pad. You will begin to run very fast. If locked on, you will keep running towards your opponent and trample them. For extra damage, press Triangle just before you hit them, and you will ram into them. This does a good amount of damage.

Grab thrown object:
If anything is thrown at you and you are facing it, press Circle to grab it out of the air. If you are lucky, your monster will grab the object before it hits. This is useful against players who like to throw flag-poles, radio towers, electric generators, fuel trucks, etc. at you.

Easy credits in endurance mode:
Unlock the UFO level and go into endurance mode. On the second floor is a 100% health power-up. It does not regenerate too often, but if you are low on health, go to where the 100% health power up is located. Wait in a blocking position. Most of the time, the CPU opponent will spend a lot of time trying to find you, especially Preytor, who flops around in mid-air most of the time. Sometimes they will get up on the second floor, but they can easily be knocked off with a simple Triangle(3) combo or the close range special ability. Usually, you can just wait until the power-up regenerates, then go back into battle. By repeating this, you can literally have unlimited health. At 100 kills you usually get about 200,000 credits, which is enough to unlock a secret character.

How to beat Preytor and Congar
In the level where you fight both Preytor and Congar.  I found the best way to beat it was to first try to separate both of them.  Then chase Congar to the train tracks.  Just using the objects around you (such as trains going by), you should be   able to kill him while Preytor is flying around on the other side.  Then go to the highest building and there should be an object up there when Preytor comes up to get you throw it at him.  From then on when he comes up keep firing what comes out of your square button at him.  When you run out of energy to fire anymore, jump down of the building, if you need to collect health do so, by then Preytor should have low enough health for you to just however you want, finish him off.  Believe it or not, I found Preytor harder.  Two things however:
1.This may take up all your lives to do.
2.This cheat was only tested with Ultra-V.
