Timmy Vermicelli is a collectible and an easter egg that can be found hidden in secret locations throughout the three cities – Miami, Nice, and Istanbul.
Timmy Vermicelli is modeled as an average-looking pedestrian, wearing jeans and a floral Hawaiian shirt with pink sneakers. His appearance is supposed to be a parody of GTA Vice City's protagonist, Tommy Vercetti. Timmy has comically oversized hands, as well as two inflatable water wings wrapped around his upper arms, poking fun at the fact that Tommy Vercetti was unable to swim in GTA Vice City.
If approached, all Timmies will take out machine guns and immediately shoot at the player unprovoked. The player must take cover quickly, as only a few shots from the machine gun can kill him. If the player acts quickly enough, he will be able to kill Timmy, although this is slightly difficult as he has a higher health than other pedestrians. If the player tries running away, Timmy may follow him, but only for a short distance. He will also attack Police, enough time for you to shoot behind him.
The Miami map of Timmies.
There are ten Timmies in each city. Kill all of them in Miami will grant the player the 18 Wheeler Havoc Mode. Furthermore, killing all ten Timmies in Nice will cause all pedestrians to carry weapons. Finally, killing all the Timmies in Istanbul will grant you the ability to damage cars without also damaging your own car.
If you sneak up on a Timmy and kill him, you can take his gun and the game will always save the gun for you.
Timmy is very powerful and can easily kill you if you aren't quick enough. As he has a lot of health, it is best to try killing him from behind, or anytime he can't see you. The game will count every Timmy you kill.
As stated above, Timmy is a humorous parody of the main character of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Tommy Vercetti. Timmy wears water-wings as a reference to the fact that you cannot swim in Vice City. He is most likely a response to the killing of Tanner who "walked like a girl" in Grand Theft Auto III.
