Power-up Buffs
There are 6 different types of trucks in the game, each type of which comes with its own unique ability:
- Starters (Monster Jam Training Truck & Monster Jam Stunt Truck) do not have an ability.
- Wildcards (Blue Thunder, Higher Education, Ice Cream Man, Whiplash, Northern Nightmare, & Backwards Bob) get extra boosts in Outdoor Races, up to 4.
- Ruff Crowd (All of the Monster Mutts) trucks gain a sort of drafting mechanic called Overtake.
- Defenders (Soldier Fortune, Mohawk Warrior, Bakugan Dragonoid, Alien Invasion, Soldier Fortune Black Ops, & Avenger) get Repel, which pushes opponents away that get too close.
- Destruction Crew (El Toro Loco, Stone Crusher, Doom’s Day, EarthShaker, Gas Monkey Garage, & Maximum Destruction (Max-D)) trucks have increased speed when hitting destructible obstacles.
- Undead (Pirate's Curse, Zombie, Captain's Curse, Son-uva Digger, Grave Digger the Legend, & Grave Digger) get Repulse, which slows down opponents that are directly behind them in Outdoor Races.
- Crazy Creatures (Crushstation, Octon8er, Jurassic Attack, Dragon, Megalodon, & Sparkle Smash) get Long Jump, which increases these trucks’ speed when in the air.
Only the Destruction Crew & Crazy Creatures trucks’ abilities are capable of being used in Stadium Events.

Trivia
- This video game marks the first appearance of Backwards Bob and Jurassic Attack since 2010's Monster Jam: Path of Destruction. It is also the first to feature Avenger, Monster Mutt Junkyard Dog and Stone Crusher since 2016's Monster Jam Crush It!
- The game features 4 of the non-existing Spin Master toys. That being Monster Mutt Husky, Monster Mutt Poodle, Octon8er, and Sparkle Smash.
- This marks the video game debut of Crushstation, Gas Monkey Garage, Higher Education (and the Inverse edition), Ice Cream Man, Monster Jam Stunt Truck, Monster Mutt Husky, Monster Mutt Poodle, Octon8er, and Sparkle Smash.
- This is the first Monster Jam game to feature non existing non-DLC trucks, not counting the original Steel Titans game, as Yeti and Wildfire were DLCs.
- The game's trailer revealed one of the playable tracks to be the World Finals 20 track in Orlando.
- There are two versions of this game. A standard release and the Power Out Bundle, which includes this game, Monster Jam Steel Titans, and all of its original DLC.
- Higher Education Inverse will be exclusive to the Power Out bundle copy.
- Backwards Bob is the only truck that has the tires that faces backwards instead of forwards.
- Like the previous game, Monster Jam Steel Titans, Grave Digger the Legend is the only truck outfitted with the zoomies.
- On the PS4 version, Chassis is misspelled as “Chasis”, and when Soldier Fortune levels up, it is listed as “Soldier of Fortune”.
- This was partially fixed on Update 1.03, released on March 12, 2021, for PC and PS4, as THQ Nordic plans to release the update for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in the following week. Chassis is still misspelled after you complete an event, but when changing your vehicle, the error has been resolved.
- At the Anaheim 1 track, the jumbotron on the southern edge of the stadium has Oakland Baseball visuals on the sides instead of monster truck flag banners. Oakland is 400 miles northwest of Anaheim, making this graphic unusual.
- Even stranger is that the Anaheim 2 track has monster truck flag banners on the jumbotron.
