Unused Song#

It is unknown what that purpose is for, but it could be likely for a race/circuit. It was reused in Gadget Racers.

Unused Text#

To do: Get the Japanese version for comparison

I'll never forget what you did for me!

While not technically unused, this text can be accessed by glitching into the place where Otomi was trapped. She will say it after she is rescued, despite the email saying that she moved somewhere far away.

NO MESSAGE

Development Oversight#

To do: Check other languages, and is this really a bug?

After finding Benji's Fountain Pen, he will offer a place on your team. But after declining the request, he still says the following line as if he is on your team:

Unused Graphics#

To do: Is in Japanese version, as a regional difference?

Inside the textures for the Q150 body are leftover decal graphics for a V-Jump magazine collaboration. These do not show up in the game, however they were used in its strategy guide. This was likely changed to accommodate the stickers, or was a last minute change.

Regional Differences#

To do: There's more... The textures were changed, such as the "Push Kings" advertisements being present in the localized version. Get images of the Quick-Pic Japanese name leftover oversights, there's also more such as the Japanese Choro-Q logo on the Passport. Extract the Q-Wave/E-Radio commercials from the Japanese version. Cover English translation differences. Note: the English Korean version uses the same European-English script.

Changes from the Japanese Version#

The following changes apply to all overseas releases.

• A new "NOW LOADING" screen has been added towards location transitions.
• The Roulette board was slightly changed, replacing the x3, x18, and x2 with the two green 00 and 0s.
• The Game of Life-esque car (Q150) and the Jinsei Meter were removed from the overseas versions, likely due to said elements being trademarked by Hasbro. The Race car body (which is Q151 in the Japanese version) takes its place as Q150.
  • The reward for clearing the Which Way? Race was changed from that Body and the Meter to a Magnum RS engine as a result.
  • The NPC Stuart, who appears in Cloud Hill has the ladybug body (Q84) instead.
• The V-Jump decals on the Q150 (Q151 in the Japanese version) Body were removed, due to rights issues. Additionally, the V-Jump Magazine item that the player has to get for Fight was simply renamed to "Magazine". The textures still remain with the localized version of the game.
• The courses where you race has been renamed in the English version. However, the Quick-Pic pictures uses the Japanese version's graphics.

Radio Stations#

The Radio Stations received a lot of changes from the Japanese version:

• In the Japanese version, there are three stations; Peach FM, Q-WAVE and E-RADIO, where only Peach FM and E-RADIO appear in international releases. Q-WAVE was also renamed to E-RADIO as of a result.
• E-RADIO in the Japanese version was a talk station, with voices credited to Tsuru, Bun, Souko, Ryu and Gonsuke. Strangely, they're still credited in the international versions.
• Q-WAVE (which would be E-RADIO in localized releases) had commercials that were removed from the international versions.
• Peach FM's song list was completely changed via releases:
  • The Japanese versions had two songs by a band called Pink Sardine, from their album "1st", with Fumio Tanabe as vocals, who is also the composer of the game and Choro-Q¹. Strangely, the original game's songs remained in the sequel, Gadget Racers (Choro-Q HG 3 in Japan).
  • The international versions had completely new songs by Push Kings and The Walking Hours.
