The video was published by David Goodrich (GoodrichGames), who worked on the project as a gameplay designer. According to him, the materials were taken from the archives of High Impact Games, where the project was developed in parallel with the reboot of the series under the working name Crash Landed. The game was canceled around 2010, probably due to a change in Activision's strategy regarding the franchise.
The recording shows early versions of tracks, character models and driving mechanics. Some ideas were later used in DreamWorks Super Star Kartz.
