Under Trivia:
Tokyo has a death match version, but was cut from the game before its release. The file is still contained in the disc, however, and a GameShark code allows it to be the only battleground playable.
Mastercode: 90295498 0C0A54CE
Level code: 201F4EB8 34050009

I put in my PS2 Head-On ETE and apparently I already have Tokyo-Deathmatch available. it's kind of a nothing map though. Tokyo's subway at least had the obstacle of a train to deal with, this map is like if the Sewers in TMBO had no center battleground.

also I don't think this map is exclusive to extra twisted edition. it must have been on the PSP version too if it's using the annoying generic death match music in the background, because Transylvania-DeathMatch, Jaffe's map exclusive to ps2, goes against original game design by not using that generic-DM song and going with Transylvania's music, so if Tokyo-DM were something he added to ETE too it probably would have used Tokyo's song.
I don't own the PSP version of HeadOn though so someone else will have to confirm if Tokyo-DM is on it.

This thread's code appears to be a repurposed copy of the City of the Dead code I posted in the Footage of the Unseen Level from Lost/Harbor City thread with a different level ID. That code was created long ago (wasn't derived from any of that thread's prior posts nor its associated YouTube videos/comments). Since it just forces CotD's level ID to always load, it can be easily adjusted to forcefully load any other level IDs.



As far as Tokyo Death Match itself goes, as Mosh mentioned, it isn't a scrapped level. Apart from CotD, there are no other scrapped levels nor vehicles present in the retail version of TMHOETE. I speak as someone who's researched it thoroughly in the past.

According to JagDogger2525's contribution to GamesRadar+'s Twisted Metal: Head-On cheats page:

Quote:
Tokyo Death Match: Beat the mini game in the Tokyo Streets level in under the first given time limit in Story Mode

A clip of Tokyo Street's mini game can be found at the 42:36 minute mark in part 1 of Spazbo4's TMHOETE longplay video. It starts off with the following intro message:

Quote:
SUBWAY GAUNTLET BONUS

Destroy Sweet Tooth heads to unlock stars. Collect all 7 stars in under 3 minutes to collect a bonus award. Finish under 4 minutes to keep powerups.

Based on those, unlocking Tokyo Death Match should just be a matter of collecting all 7 stars in Tokyo Streets' mini game within 3 minutes.

Footage of Tokyo Death Match can be seen at the 3:12 minute mark in Matt Dante's TMHO PSP level select hacking video.

FWIW, I can also vaguely recall having played in that level in the online portion of the PSP version of TMHO ~12-13 years ago (as a standalone level).

Fun fact: The PSP version of TMHO contains Transylvania's background music and references to non-existent level files for it. So the TMHOETE version of that level might not have been designed from scratch. It was likely an enhanced/retooled version of the cut TMHO level. More information can be found in the last part of reply #14 in the [MOD] Play as Tower Tooth in Twisted Metal Head On thread.
