Formula 1 Sensation

Formula 1 Sensation was one of the only two FOCA/FIA licensed Formula One games (the other being Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing) for the system. Notably it was the last original Famicom game Konami released in Japan.

Unused Codes#

The game contains several codes which the game accepts, but actually do nothing.

At the title screen or while the game is paused:

• Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A (the famous Konami Code)
• B, A, B, A

Enter one of the following as the player name in Grand Prix mode:

• KONAMI
• MOAI
• BEST

Regional Differences#

The Japanese version has its logo rise up and appear behind some lines. The European version shows the logo immediately.

Japan	Europe

In addition, the screen stays closer to the track in the European version.

Japan	Europe

A few sponsors were also changed between versions, due to these being considered advertisements for alcoholic brands. Curiously, the banner for Tio Pepe, a Spanish wine brand, was left untouched, while Iceberg, a fashion house brand, was inexplicably replaced with Castrol.
