Development of the game began with the idea of making a two-player racing game following F-Zero, which only had a single player mode. The game's prototype originally only had a generic "guy in overalls". The decision to include Mario characters was made roughly three to four months into development after the developers decided to add Mario driving one of the karts because they were curious about how the game would look. They ultimately decided the game looked better, and thus made the game a Mario series title.

The song "Angel of Death" by Slayer was originally cleared to be included in the game, but was removed because of the song's controversial lyrics. Metallica pressed on for Slayer to be in the game and "War Ensemble" was cleared at the last minute.

"Slayer's got to be part of any heavy metal video game. There had been some issues with their lyrics. That gets into a whole slew of stuff like, 'Microsoft won't do it if this lyrical content is in there.' There's all this bullshit you have to deal with, but we stood up for Slayer, and we finally got Slayer cleared like a week ago." - Lars Ulrich, Metallica Drummer

The Career storyline about a band following Metallica on tour as an opening act is based off of a true story.

"There were some guys in a beat-up old van and they were following Metallica all over Europe, everywhere they went on tour. And then they wound up hanging out with the crew and the crew would feed them. And then eventually Metallica let them get up and open for them."

Attachment One of the cars that can be found in the junkyard is modeled after a 1969 Pontiac Le Mans, a car that Tim Schafer owned during the development of Full Throttle. When Tim Schafer went out to lunch one day, the engine exploded and the car caught on fire. Later, when Schafer returned to the office, he found that Peter Chan, Lead Artist for Full Throttle, had painted the car into the game.

When the player looks at the car, Ben will say "Fire Damage. Forget about it."

In the American release of the game, 40 cards out of approximately 350 were censored, as they were deemed "too sexual".

When asked about the reasoning behind it, Idea Factory responded, "Western society is not as lenient as that of Japan when sexual images are involved - especially images of humanoids that appear to be younger than a socially acceptable age."

The game was originally planned to have alternate endings for Story mode for most of the cast except Double. There is unused text of these alternate endings complete with dialogue for what appear to be choices the player would make.

Filia: Would wish for her memories back despite Samson's protests

Cerebella: Asks the Skull Heart to make Vitale Mecidi love her and only her. When she returns home, however, Vitale has gone mad and murdered everyone present except Feng just so he can have Cerebella all to himself. Feng kills Vitale only for him to get back up, turned into a monster. Cerebella and Feng flee to the country, hoping to start a new life.

Peacock: She wastes time making inane wishes that the Skull Heart could not possibly grant, much to the Heart's annoyance.

Parasoul: Seemingly kills Umbrella to prevent another Skullgirl from being made. Umbrella reassures her with her dying breath that she did the right thing.

Ms. Fortune: Goes ahead with her original plan to revive the Fishbone Gang. They are revived as mindless servants of the now Skullgirl Fortune.

Painwheel: Wishes for "Freedom". The Skull Heart frees her from human emotion and restraint, making her into an incredibly powerful Skullgirl.

Valentine: Seals the Skull Heart away to prevent it being used again knowing that it can't be destroyed so easily. However, when she faked a deception against Brain Drain, she killed a character named Christmas, who was close to Brain Drain. For the sake of revenge, Brain Drain forces a control mechanism on Valentine and turns her into the same abomination as Painwheel. As this happens, the Skull Heart mocks Valentine's efforts.

Attachment The developers wanted to use the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak to improve the game's graphics, however Nintendo were hesitant in allowing them and wanted to reserve the Pak to be used only with hardware peripherals. But after seeing the Expansion Pak used on Turok 2: Seeds of Evil to achieve a higher resolution, they decided to allow Factor 5 to use it for Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.
