Zen-Nihon GT Senshuken's options menu contains a sound test, which was replaced with a menu to switch between miles per hour and kilometers per hour in Top Gear GT Championship. Key Config was also renamed Button Config.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Text for the sound test still exists in Top Gear GT Championship at x4893C (US)/x48998 (EU)

Name Entry#

Zen-Nihon GT Senshuken

Top Gear GT Championship

The Japanese character sets were removed in Top Gear GT Championship, and a handful of punctuation marks were added.

Mobile System GB#

Zen-Nihon GT Senshuken

Top Gear GT Championship

Zen-Nihon GT Senshuken supports the Mobile System GB adapter, allowing one to share course ghosts and custom courses, and to view and submit best times. This was removed in Top Gear GT Championship due to the adapter itself not being released outside of Japan, with the icons for the other options enlarged to fill the gap.

The Mobile System GB logo seen at boot in Zen-Nihon GT Senshuken was naturally removed as well.
