Revisional Differences

Due to some legal drama involving Phillip Morris, it meant that Sega had to change the game worldwide. It wasn't just cigarette branding that was changed however...

Japan/World/US Japan/World Rev B - US Rev C

The title screen was hasty altered. The Marlboro logo on the background was recolored and on the car, the red was recolored grey and the fin was recolored black. The details of the Marlboro logo are still visible though.

Japan/World/US Japan/World Rev B - US Rev C

In earlier versions; there were parodies of Marlboro, Fosters and Mobil 1 logos on the banners while racing. By Rev B/US Rev C, only the Flicky banner remains despite the others still being in the ROM.

Pibelli sign had its palette altered changing from black and yellow to grey while the Ajip sign recolored the grey to white and the yellow to red.

The Marlbobo road sign was removed and replaced with another road sign.

Japan/World/US (non-Rev B) US Rev B

While in most versions, if you reach the time limit you get a Did Not Qualify message. In US Rev B however, after the 45 second time limit you automatically qualify for the race. This was reverted to the previous behavior in Rev C. While this can be changed in the test menu between Qualification at 16th position and Game Over, these are the default settings.
