Stunt Race FX

Stunt Race FX is probably the only video game with an anthropomorphic two-wheeled car. Not a motorcycle. A two-wheeled car.

Unused Music
Two unused music tracks can be found within the game's data.

The first track may have been intended for the menus, but was cut due to repetition.

The second track would probably be used in a race, yet it was simply never used. It is based off the Track Select music.

Startup Logo
In Japan, blue was the most common color for the Nintendo logo to be depicted in. This was not the case internationally, where it was often red. Thus, the palette was changed.

Title Screen
The game received a different title in versions other than the Japanese one, resulting in two entirely different logo designs. The Wild Trax logo uses the sprite layer for its katakana (which just says "Wild Trax" again).

Interestingly, the palettes for both of these logos are loaded in the title screen in all versions of the game.

Track Selection Screens
Presumably for legibility, the text on the track name boxes has been enlarged in the EU version of the game. The labels on the Bonus track boxes remain unchanged, however.

Records Screens
The font used in the Stunt Trax/Free Trax data boxes is replaced with a larger, black typeface in the European version.

Easy Ride
The last turn before the finish line (in the bottom left corner of the map) has been made rounder in the European version. This turn is actually a simple U-shaped turn on the actual track, so the original mini-map doesn't make sense.

Ice Dance
In the first two releases of the game, the right side of Ice Dance's map is inconsistent with the actual track. The European version corrects this.

Signs
Aside from the title screen, the title change is also reflected in this sign, which can be seen in various tracks.

The white-on-blue Nintendo logo color scheme, seen in many of the Japanese TV advertisements of the era, was replaced with a red-on-black color scheme in the other versions.

Due to trademark issues in Europe and Australia, the first Arwing shoot-'em-up starring a certain humanoid fox had to be given a different title in those regions. This is reflected in the logo's cameo appearance in Stunt Race FX.

The Super Famicom logo seen on the crates in Night Cruise had its "text" removed in the North American version, but it returned in the European version.

Title Logo
No, they didn't forget to change the title logo in the international versions.

"Assisted by Argonaut Software"


After going uncredited in the Japanese and North American versions, Argonaut Software finally receives its dues in the European version of the game, in an area previously devoid of text.

Nintendo Logo
The blue-to-red Nintendo logo change exists here as well.
