One night, the devs were working on this game. Meanwhile, it was day in Japan, and Haruhi got bored again. This time, she made a virus without knowing it. The devs had already gone home for the night, and the virus went in and screwed the game over. When the devs came in, they found their work was ruined, but the publisher said "publish the game or die". So they released an incomplete game screwed over by a virus. And it's all the fault of one schoolgirl named HARUHI SUZUMIYA!

[[WMG: Building on the previous theory [of the game's bugs being tossed in on purpose], the game was an attempt to scam us out of our money.]]
Take the game's cover.
* Front cover: No vehicles move anywhere approaching that fast enough to spout flames when traveling ''forwards'', there's no collision detection, there is no police, not all trucks have loads and/or are 18 wheelers, and there's no SFX for anything but the engine.
* And the back cover is an even bigger pile of BlatantLies, complete with "screenshots" that are actually mockups!! And how can the AI give even the most experienced driver a challenge when ''there's no AI in the first place [at first] and you can't even lose??!!''
To put it simply, Stellar Stone was trying to fool us into giving them money by [[StylisticSuck making a terrible "game" without putting any effort into it]] and [[CoversAlwaysLie disguising it as an awesome racing game that would be far too enjoyable.]]

In life, the racer was a vicious individual who extorted and cheated to win races-in essence, and when he did win was a SoreWinner. When he died, the Devil decided to give him what he wanted: continuous and eternal victory. The car can go backwards at infinite speed because in life the racer often slammed into the opponents behind him just to mock them, and there's no-one there to ensure that any victory he has is hollow.

[[WMG: The game is actually a loose adapation of The Tortoise and the Hare.]]
Your opponent is so overconfident that he takes a nap right before crossing the finish line, allowing you to win even if you have been driving around exploring the map. It's not ArtificialStupidity, it's AnAesop.

[[WMG: The game hides how to build an advanced FTL engine.]]
This game is nothing but a proof of concept to build an advanced FTL engine, that will allow us to reach ''any'' part of the Universe (well, almost any part depending of its actual size that is unknown), even if it's backwards and having speed decreasing to 0 instantaneously (at least inertial dampeners are so good that the thing stops without disintegrating due to g-forces). The source code has hidden blueprints as well as the physics behind the engine that allow it to work.
The developers simply found the game and released it, without knowing that fact. ''Who'' is actually behind the game is another very different thing (coming to us from the very distant future?).

[[WMG: The Truck is going to be the [[DoctorWho Doctor's]] adversary eventually.]]
The truck is a temporal anomaly, it chose the shape of a truck because of BlueAndOrangeMorality. Being a temporal anomaly, it can violate the laws of physics, its mere presence causes objects to "glitch" out of reality, its form is non-corporeal hence why it passes through everything, or otherwise just screws physics, leaving the map is just simply heading to existing outside current space-time. Its not perfect though as it needs to build up speed to go FTL, instead of instantaneously. The Doctor will be called in to take care of it as it presents a threat to other realities.

[[WMG: There is a full working version of this game somewhere; what was released instead was just a result of very poor file management]]
Perhaps the game was finished, but someone accidentally grabbed one of their pre-alpha builds rather than the actual final build from the SVN or whatever they were using when going to submit the final build for release, didn't bother checking to see that it was actually the correct build, and shipped it. A single, completely avoidable mistake may have led to the failure and endless ridicule of an honest group of devs who had made a real game, but slipped up big-time when it came time to put something on a disc.

The game's code was severely damaged in the process and the deadline was later that day, so they cut up the code.

Obviously, the mental strain caused by trying to win out a [[EverythingTryingToKillYou hellishly]] [[NintendoHard difficult]] game burnt out their minds, causing them to rebel against the idea of actually working to win video games. So they designed a game that could be won with no effort whatsoever.
