Regional Differences

Title Screen

Besides the obvious title change, "Licensed by Nintendo" has been removed. The Japanese logo also slides in rather than being stationary.

USA/Europe	Japan

Miscellaneous

• In the US version, you choose "START" to start the game, whereas in the Japanese and European versions, you choose "RACE GAME".
• The Japanese and European versions have the speed set to KM/H by default, while the US version has it set to MPH.
• The JP and EU versions changed "CONTINUE COUNTRY" to "COUNTRY SELECT".
• In the Japanese version "AUSTRALASIA" was changed to "AUSTRALIA". This was likely a mistake on the part of the localization team, as Auckland is located in New Zealand (part of Australasia/Oceania), not Australia. The European version also has a mistake when converting miles to kilometers leaving the same values as the US version rather than the correct values, this was fixed in the Japanese version.
• "DIFFICULTY" was changed to "GAME LEVEL", and the options themselves were renamed:

USA/Europe	Japan
AMATEUR	EASY
PROFESSIONAL	NORMAL
CHAMPIONSHIP	HARD
