Store Demo#

Watch on YouTubeAs the title suggests, this demo was playable in Japanese stores prior to the initial Japanese release. This features a compile date of November 3, 1997, which is about a week after the Trial Version's build date. This build is very similar, but is considerably more open with every car and track in Arcade Mode unlocked (the Trial Version only lets you select the Honda NSX '97 and High Speed Ring) as well as the 90-second race timer being removed.
