In the international versions, even if you finish all the tracks in 1st place, you will not get the message to finish the game with a higher difficulty if playing in Easy/Normal, although the game does keep all your scores and unlocks Mirror mode as long as you don't turn it off.

Both versions give you the credits for finishing 1st place on all tracks on Hard difficulty, but the music differs between the international and Japanese versions:
