Regional Differences#

North America/Europe	Japan

The North American and European versions of the game use the N Sports logo at the startup. The Japanese version of the game just uses the regular Nintendo 64 logo.

US/EU (N64)	JP (N64)	CN (iQP)

The Japanese version of the game has a different logo on the title screen.

US/EU (N64)	JP (N64)	CN (iQP)

Since the Japanese version of the game removes Expansion Pak support, the Hi-Res setting in the options was replaced with the cheat menu. In addition to that, the iQue version also has different branding on the title background due to the expiring brand licenses.

Revisional Differences#

N64 (US/EU version)	Switch (Nintendo Classics)

When the game was re-released on Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Classics, almost all sponsors had their licenses renewed, the only exception being Fox Racing, which aside from trackside advertisement, was prominently featured on Jim Rivers' racing suit, which is now left blank as a result.
