Development
While Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost had some difficulties with Warner Bros. giving the lead team (Davis Doi, Jim Stenstrum, and Lance Falk, with Glenn Leopold having left after Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders) one of their own writers to work with that film was minor compared to the extreme difficulties this had. Without the team's approval, Warner Bros. used their contracted writer Mark Turosz to write a movie they had to make and on top of that to make sense. This caused the planned "origin" film to be scrapped. Nobody was interested in doing the movie, with Stenstrum even suggesting the gang be played by live-action actors in the video game scenes just to make the film worth doing.
Casting
With the death of Mary Kay Bergman following Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders, Grey DeLisle was hired in her place to voice Daphne. DeLisle has been the voice of Daphne since.
Filming
Falk described Turosz as a live-action writer who didn't understand how animation worked, since he wrote scenes that were problematic given the budget and time constraints they were under (such as camera movement needed to show the merry-go-round in motion), leading the film to have far more storyboard artists as a result. He also gave them suspects they had to work out for themselves.
Aftermath
The team insisted that they be allowed to handle the series after Cyber Chase, but again Warner Bros. tasked Turosz to write the script for the next film, Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire, so the remaining three quit. Incidentally, Stenstrum and Falk later worked in the Warner Bros. Animation department in lesser roles, but Glenn Leopold and Davis Doi have never worked for the studio again.
When Time Warner bought out Turner, Hanna-Barbera became an in-house studio of Warner Bros. with less authority, and with the death of co-founder William Hanna, it was shut down effective immediately. Despite this, Warner Bros. still marketed Scooby-Doo as a trademark of Hanna-Barbera. Jean McCurdy also stepped down as President of Warner Bros. Animation, and was succeeded by Sander Schwartz. Legend of the Vampire didn't come until two years later.
This was the last film to carry the mature theme introduced in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (although the script was relatively lighter in comparison to even Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders), and it is the last film to be animated by Mook. Scott Innes and B.J. Ward were also removed from the cast, with Frank Welker replacing Innes as the voice of Scooby, and Casey Kasem returning to the role of Shaggy. The next two films are intermediate stories in the exact same style as the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! series, with Nicole Jaffe and Heather North being brought back to tag on the nostalgic heartstrings. DeLisle continued to voice Daphne when the series shifted into a "21st century makeover" with the TV series What's New, Scooby-Doo?
Music
Louis Febre composed the music for the film. New wave band The B-52's performed their own version of the "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" theme song.

Errors

- In the scene when Jaguaro falls down the log flume and both Scooby and Cyber-Scooby wave goodbye, both of their collars are red and their fur is the same shade of brown Cyber-Scooby's.

- In the scene during "Double Double Joint", when both Velma's run into the petting zoo, followed by Old Iron Face, it clearly states "CYBER AND PETTING ZOO" on a banner behind them. The "L" in CYBERLAND is missing.
- The Creeper from the original series growled "PAPER" while the one featured in this movie simply states its name in a menacing tone of voice. This is due to a common misconception that the Creeper was always repeating his own name instead of demanding they give him an incriminating photo.
- It's obvious that Officer Wembley couldn't have beamed the gang into cyberspace because the arm that was shown activating the laser was thin and had a lab coat sleeve over it. Officer Wembley had beefy arms and was bare.
