Regional Differences

The Japanese version has its logo rise up and appear behind some lines. The European version shows the logo immediately.

A few sponsors were also changed between versions, due to these being considered advertisements for alcoholic brands. Curiously, the banner for Tio Pepe, a Spanish wine brand, was left untouched, while Iceberg, a fashion house brand, was inexplicably replaced with Castrol.
