This page details development materials of Rugrats: Search for Reptar.

The original design document from November 3rd, 1997 was bought from lead designer Jason Eastman and can be found here.

The Rugrats Movie

The game was made to tie in with The Rugrats Movie and the developers at one point considered using the movie as a basis for the game, but decided to base it all on the show instead. Despite this, a couple of references to the movie can be found in the final game.
