-The fourth is the early icon of the Bowling Bomb.

-The fifth is the early icon of the Missile Tracker.

-The hill right after the start line has "COCO" written with flowers.

-Tiny is the character in use, but his icon is in 3rd place instead of 2nd.

-There is an extra Tiny Tiger near the hill.

-The lap counter used to be separated by a hyphen rather than a slash.

-Early icons of the characters are shown.
