Regional Differences#

To do: Document the iQue Player differences.

Title Screen#

Japan	USA	Europe

• The Kawasaki trademark statement on the title screen is absent from the Japanese version. This was added to the international versions which resulted in the Nintendo copyright being moved up slightly.
• The "Kawasaki JetSki" banner on the title screen was removed from the European version.
• The game's title call is different in the Japanese version.

Course Names#

Some names of the courses were changed between the Japanese, and International releases of the game.

Texture Changes#

Japan	International

• The Japanese version featured Fanta ads which were replaced with Nintendo 64 ads in the international versions.

Other#

• To make up for the timing differences between the PAL and NTSC formats, the times have all been raised.

Shindou Pak Taiou Version#

To do: Rip the audio.

Similar to Super Mario 64, some changes took place with the Shindou Pak Taiou Version. Aside from adding rumble pak support...

• The in-game announcer has re-recorded dialogue.

• Ghosts are now present in Time Trial mode, with the ghosts being represented as dolphins.
• The songs for Sunny/Sandy Beach, Port Pirates, and Southern Island got new mixes.
• Some sound effects were changed.
  • Menu confirm sound.
  • Splash sound when you select "END" in the name entry.
  • Passing a buoy correctly.

Revision Differences#

JP Version 1.1#

• The movement of the AI for Sunset Bay changed in Expert difficulty.
• Fixed a bug regarding the displayed race time being off by 0.001 seconds.

Virtual Console Differences#

To do: Wii U Virtual Console release has a directory called /content/Patch/UNWRE1.009 which has 6 files, "highlight_a.rpt", "highlight_cup.rpt", hl_stage1and2.rpt", "hl_stage6.rpt", hl_stage7.rpt", and "hl_stage8.rpt". Figure out specifically what each patch covers and explain it clearly along with any differences from the Wii Virtual Console release, if any.

The Nintendo 64 version featured product placement for Kawasaki jet skis in the form of banners throughout the game. Because the license expired long ago, the Wii Virtual Console version replaces these with advertisements for the Wii and Nintendo DS. The license was renewed in time for the Wii U version, where the Kawasaki ad placements are back. However, the Fanta ads were replaced with Nintendo 64 logos in all regions.

• All of the Kawasaki banners were replaced with advertisements for the Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 64.

• All of the Kawasaki branding on the Jet Skis was removed.

• The shiny border for the menu boxes on the Nintendo 64 are almost completely absent on the Wii Virtual Console version. The only places where it wasn't removed are on the box for the Default/Custom stat selection in the Watercraft Select Screen, and the box for the course preview before a race.
