The characters' ending movie showing their wish being granted is presented after defeating the final boss Warhawk. More of the characters' background is revealed in their midpoint cutscene, presented as a dream experienced when they briefly pass out after the sub-boss Minion is defeated. Each of them starts with them being visited by Calypso, who knows what they desire and offers them in his contest. In a somewhat different take from previous games, each character has their own story, which they narrate from their own point of view.

Although Calypso is indeed malevolent, characters who have malevolent wishes (which make most of the cast) have their wishes granted without him tricking them on the wishes, while those seeking more noble ends (such as Outlaw's driver Agent Stone) find that Calypso usually has the last laugh. 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.
The objective of the game is to be the last one standing. A variety of weapons and upgrades are obtainable by pick-ups scattered throughout the stage. Players choose a vehicle and an arena-or a series of arenas in the story mode-to engage in battle with opposing drivers. In concept, Twisted Metal: Black is a demolition derby that permits the usage of ballistic projectiles.
