The idea and in-game backstory for Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden was originally inspired by an ambiguous sentence on the Wikipedia article for American basketball player Michael Jordan. According to the game's co-creator Brian Raum:

"The Wikipedia article talked about how Michael Jordan was in the movie Space Jam, and there was this line that was like, 'Some fans argue whether or not this was canon.' Like, was Space Jam canon to his life? Or to Looney Tunes? We didn't know."

In response to this question, the developers decided that the game would act as a sequel both to that movie and to the game Barkley: Shut Up and Jam!, despite at least one of the other co-creators never having played the original game.
