COT MANAGER

Press Square to enter any of the available menus. Only "OrdTASK RETURN", "SIGNATURE", and "SUPPORT" works, however.

SOUND CHECKER

A sound test menu; press Circle or X to increase/decrease number, Square to play the SFX, and Triangle to stop.

Version Differences

To do: Determine if the signs in the Fountain Park track have different text between versions.

Although the English arcade version of the game was called Go by RC, the international PlayStation releases were named the same as the Japanese release. However, the English arcade title is still referenced in the opening intro for the Championship Mode ("LET'S GO BY RC!!").

Title Screen

JP	Simple series	US

For the US version of the game, the "push" text in "Push START Button" prompt was capitalized. As well, the Simple 1500 version received a new, simpler title screen, but is otherwise identical to the full price Japanese release.

Unusually for an American release, the US version of the game features an anti-piracy warning reminiscent of those commonly featured in European releases at startup, although the font used is different.
