Trivia[]
- This video game marked the debuts of ThunderROARus, Razin Kane, Big Kahuna, Lucas Stabilizer, Jester, Kraken, Shaker, Axe, Wild Side, Excaliber, Bad Company, Black Pearl, DIGatron, Velociraptor and Vendetta, along with toy versions of certain trucks & also new designs for trucks that have never been used. The brown Megalodon & the holographic versions of Grave Digger, El Toro Loco & Earth Shaker are some of the examples.
- This game also marked Brutus' first Monster Jam video game appearance since 2010, as well as the first game to not feature Monster Mutt Rottweiler as a playable truck since 2010's Monster Jam Path of Destruction. It is also the first since that same game to feature replays.
- Velociraptor is the only truck known to have an alternate design. One design is the orange & purple variant as well as the blue & green design.
- Screenshots and gameplay show a venue similar to Bristol Motor Speedway. It is unknown if Monster Jam will be going there in the future. It was instead Denver, Colorado. For unknown reasons, Denver has the exact design of Bristol Motor Speedway as shown in Drivers Vs. Fans Episode 2 as it is only a freestyle track.
- Tyler Menninga, Kayla Blood, Ryan Anderson, Chris Koehler and Camden Murphy played the game against some fans. One would drive Sparkle Smash, another would use Great Clips Mohawk Warrior, the third would be in Zombie the fourth would be in El Toro Loco and the fifth would be in control of Megalodon, while Tyler, Kayla, Ryan, Chris and Camden used their respective trucks, Grave Digger, Soldier Fortune (at the time, she would later switch to Sparkle Smash full time), Son-Uva Digger, Monster Mutt (though Chris also drives Brutus) and Bakugan Dragonoid. Colt Stephens would also play the game against his crew chief Shelby Fisher. Colt would use his normal truck, ThunderROARus, while Shelby would use Lucas Stabilizer. Kayla's round would also be the only one to not feature a freestyle contest.
- The full game was accidently released on the Epic Games store 1 month and 18 days earlier then the original release date.
- The game was talked about on Inside Monster Jam just days before its release.
- The game features the Monster Jam Stunt Truck, Vendetta and Grave Digger the Legend as default trucks. Sparkle Smash would also be dropped to 7th and the rest of the competitors would move up one, with Excaliber finishing 40th instead of 39th.
