Jet Set Radio was originally developed with the Dreamcast specs in mindJet Set Radio was developed by, a studio formed from members of, developers of the games for the. The development team consisted of fewer than 25 developers, with an average age of under 25. Programming began in mid-1999.

The game was announced at the 1999 and drew media attention for its cel-shaded style. During the early stages of development, director Masayoshi Kikuchi had difficulty leading the team, having no prior directing experience. The visual style was established before the gameplay; according to Kikuchi, the game could have become an or role-playing game. His superiors were not satisfied with early concepts, and so Kikuchi used trial and error to develop a concept that he believed everyone would find interesting.Ueda wanted to create something 'cool' that dealt with and was completely unlike the team's previous game, the 1998 role-playing game. Ueda's drawings of a character with headphones and rollerblades became the foundation of the game. Ueda had joined Sega after being impressed by the 'freshness' and international appeal of, but was disappointed with the number of manga and anime-style designs; he hoped to create something original.

Smilebit drew inspiration from games outside the typical game genres of science fiction and fantasy. Ueda was particularly inspired by a demonstration of the rhythm game at the 1996: 'I think that's the first game with pop culture like that. They did it first. After that I decided to make a true game, not just a visual experience, that was actually for adults.'

Smilebit used thicker lines for objects they wanted to stand out. The themes of the 1999 film were another influence. Smilebit developed a new cel-shading technique not used at the time as it would not have been possible on the Dreamcast or PlayStation 2.

The game features graffiti by a variety of artists, including, who had designed album art for acts including the. Smilebit initially wanted to make it a skateboarding game, however, was scrapped due to the legs having to be fixed and instead chose inline skates.Jet Set Radio was one of the earliest games to feature an open 3D world, which presented the team's biggest challenge. Kikuchi said: 'Making an entire town in a game was quite the prospect. It's not hard with modern hi-spec hardware, but that wasn't the case back then. It was very difficult from a programming standpoint.' Another Sega game, (1999), also featured an open world, but Kikuchi felt the games posed different technical challenges, as Shenmue does not allow the player to jump or move at speed. The team implemented to allow players to enjoy speed without worrying about colliding with obstacles.

Smilebit chose to have a fixed camera as an attempt to avoid the Japanese audience getting motion-sickness. Smilebit was determined to making the game impossible to be duplicated on by pushing the Dreamcast hardware and software limitations using bright colors, realistic shadows, and over sixteen displayable NPCs on-screen without that would have been impossible on PS2 due to its weaker memory.The settings were inspired by Japanese locations such as the Tokyo shopping district of.

Smilebit traveled to those areas and took pictures as references during development. Sega feared that the game's style might alienate players outside Japan and requested changes for the international versions. The team added 2 stages modeled after New York City: An area based on, and another inspired by along. Some story changes were also made, such as changing the nationality of two characters to American. The interactive credits sequence of the Japanese version was also cut, as localizing it would have meant rebuilding the stage with names written in English. Sega sold the international version in Japan as De La Jet Set Radio. Ueda was unhappy about the changes, which he felt diminished the essential Japanese elements of the game.

Soundtrack The Jet Set Radio soundtrack includes original and licensed tracks with a variety of genres including,. The North American version and international rereleases adds songs. The 2012 port omits 'Yappie Feet' and 'Many Styles' for licensing reasons. The music has been described as energetic, rhythm-heavy, defiant, and multicultural.

Most of the soundtrack was composed by Hideki Naganuma, with additional tracks by, Deavid Soul, Toronto, and B.B. Naganuma attempted to match the visual style, and experimented with voices, cutting and rearranging to the point that they became nonsensical. In 2012, Naganuma noted he enjoyed working on Jet Set Radio and its sequel the most. Smilebit worked with Sega of America and Sega of Europe to include as many street culture elements as possible, hoping to create music that was internationally acceptable.Jet Set Radio Original Soundtrack was distributed by on December 20, 2000 in Japan.
