Version comparisons
Title screen
Select course
The course selection screen has a blue background in the Mega Drive version and does not refer to the brake. The countries are also cut off at the edges of the screen in the X68000 version due to the 256x224 resolution with no accommodations made for it.
Select music
The Mega Drive version also removes the mention of the brake for the music selection.
Race start
The starting gate has a different design in the Mega Drive version.
Gameplay
Sprites in the X68000 version are vertically squished in an attempt to make the view as wide as the arcade and Mega Drive versions, however the HUD is the same size and pushes against the edges of the screen.
Endings
Beginner
All endings in the Mega Drive version feature simpler animations compared to the arcade and X68000 versions, and use the same static crowd sprites rather than having course-specific ones that animate. The Beginner course has the same animation across all versions where the driver gives the peace sign to the player.
Junior
The Junior course's ending has two women present the driver a trophy and champagne bottle while a cameraman takes the driver's picture. The Mega Drive version uses the same animation as the Beginner course's ending, but adds a woman who gives the driver a kiss.
Senior
The Senior course's ending presents a woman in a large trophy who passes the driver a champagne bottle to chug down. The Mega Drive version uses the same animation as the Junior course's ending, but adds the old man driver from the arcade version's Expert course ending, who walks on screen throwing confetti around before giving the peace sign to the player.
Expert
The Expert course's ending has an interview team approach the driver, who removes his helmet and reveals himself to be an old man to the shock of the interviewers. The driver then smokes a pipe and laughs. The Mega Drive version uses the same animation as the Senior course's ending, however the driver is revealed to be a young woman.
Revision comparisons
Mega Drive version
The steering controls were adjusted in Revision 01 to be less sensitive compared to Revision 00, resulting in tighter control that makes it less likely for the player's motorcycle to drift off-course when making a turn.
Billboards
Two of the billboards seen at the side of the track were changed between revisions. "Morobare", a parody of Marlboro cigarettes, was changed to "Soroban!!" in Revision 01 likely due to Phillip Morris' lawsuit against Sega for unauthorised Marlboro advertisements in Super Monaco GP.
"Bridalstone", a parody of Bridgestone, was replaced with a "Genesis" billboard with a pointing hand, however the outline of the original billboard is still present.
