Super Monaco GP initially shipped with advertisements for Marlboro cigarettes (as "Marlbobo"). With no permission to use this imagery, Marlboro owners Philip Morris demanded Sega remove these logos from the game. As such, the title screen had a banner scrubbed out and its car altered to disguise the fact it was a Marlboro-sponsored McLaren.
These changes came through in the Japanese and export Rev.B ROM sets and the US Rev.C ROM set.

In-game "Marlbobo" banners became advertisements for Flicky in later revisions.

Sega also took the opportunity to remove other brands it was parodying. "Hoster's" (Foster's) banners also turned into Flicky advertisements.

Signs for Pirelli, which Sega left unaltered in initial releases, had their palettes changed to make them less readible.

Buildings adorned with "Marlbobo" signage were swapped out for Sega ones.

"Modil 2" (Mobil 1) banners were again swapped out for Flicky.

This Marlbobo sign by the bridge was swapped out by a trio of other parodies brands; "Henda" (Honda), "Conan" (Canon) and "Fodo" (Ford).

The "Ajir" (Agip) sign was also recoloured.

In the ending sequence, the McLaren-coloured car was painted green. There are still several McLarens in-game though (and you are almost certainly driving one), alongside vehicles from Ferrari and Williams.

Possibly due to problems sourcing the original image, home versions of Super Monaco GP use different (albeit similar) backgrounds. The Mega Drive version breaks ranks by featuring a (newer) Ferrari, while the others stick with McLarens. The Commodore 64 version of the game lacks a title screen, while the ZX Spectrum lacks a background.
The arcade version makes no attempt to disguise the fact that the car is borrowed from the 1988 Formula 1 season, showing the number 11 McLaren MP4/4 driven by Alain Prost. It is likely from the 1988 Australian Grand Prix, due to the fact Prost won that race, and the clipped advertisement for Foster's, which was advertised heavily at the event.
The home computer versions use a newer model of McLaren, but like the Mega Drive, make modifications to remove obvious branding and advertising.

Super Monaco GP notably uses a digitized and drawn-over scan of erotic model Mercy Rooney from the December 1972 issue of American pornographic magazine Playboy for its title screen. This technique would also be used in Turbo OutRun and Stadium Cross.
