The developers of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled were informed ahead of time that the game's post-launch support would be limited. Very little content was thought of, and none was worked on, for grands prix that didn't make it to release. Creative director Thomas Wilson stated the only scrapped grand prix concept he recalls is "Heroes vs. Villains", a superhero parody grand prix compared to the animated film Megamind, which would have featured a course in a "retro-futuristic" city and superhero and supervillain outfits for the racers.
