Final Lap 2

It may be called Final Lap 2 but it isn't related to Pole Position II and is more-so its own sequel.

Who would have guessed?

Unused Graphics#

Japan	World

The unused car graphics from the first game are still present. On the World ROM, the McLaren and Lotus palettes were edited, following a controversy over explicit cigarette advertisements in the first game. Although the March car was not recolored for the player in the international version, the palette shown are used for CPU controlled cars in the international version.

The Final Lap logo from the first game. Final Lap 2 uses a smaller version of this logo on its title screen.

Unused Music#

A short jingle possibly meant for the attract mode.

Uncompiled Music Sources#

Located at 0x13D40 in the sound CPU ROMs is this drum pattern fragment from "Ending B" (which can be heard about 35 seconds in).
