NTSC-J version

NTSC-U version

In Japan, Shenmue has an official license from The Coca-Cola Company, meaning in-game vending machines stock the company's drinks (which mostly resemble the range as it appeared in 1986). In the West, fictional alternatives are offered by "Bell Wood's". The winning cans are the same in both versions.

Shenmue

Many of the signs in Hang-On have been replaced in its Shenmue incarnation, including advertisements for Marlboro cigarettes and Bridgestone tyres, which Sega never aquired a license for. The replacement signs all refer to things in Shenmue.
