Regional Differences
In the Japanese version, Bowser and Toadstool's victory animations depict them drinking champagne. Obviously, NOA did not want this depicted in one of their games, so they were changed. The change was maintained for the European release.
Bowser's victory pose originally showed him chugging the champagne. He just poses happily with it in the international versions.

In the Japanese version, Toadstool daintily sips her champagne, although the shading on her face says she might already be drunk. In the international versions, she tosses it up.

The Title Screen graphics are smaller and slightly different in the Japanese version. Also, the "TM" is in a different position.

The background used on the title screen in the Japanese version has what appears to be an Ai-Ai Gasa (or Love-Love Umbrella) saying "Mario" and "Peach", and "Mario Kart" written in Japanese. These were removed in the international version, and the mushroom was moved.
