This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: Document the prototype.

Unused Graphics

Apparently, the race minigame between Auto (Rightot) and Eddie (Eddy) in the loading screen was planned to have more details, like a finish line and their names, but they were not added in the game. There is also an unused symbol and screws.

Regional Differences

To do: Upload images of Title Screens from Japan and PAL regions.

• Many voices and most of the appearances from this game's exclusive characters (Chest, Plum, and Ripot) were cut from the game outside Japan: Chest, the blue robot without legs, gives details of selected courses and the player's car parts, Plum interviews the opponent before the race, and both her and Ripot give commentary during the race.
• Some parts that only had voices were replaced by text, like the opponent complaining that he lost and the player receiving the prize money from Ripot.
• Mega Man (and in certain circumstances, Dr. Wily) says the name of the game in the title screen.
• Completing the Grand Prix with Roll or Guts Man without losing a race will make a karaoke bonus appear in their ending.
• The Memory Card save icon is animated in the Japanese version and static in the European version.

  These symbols appear after the ending. They were part of a promotion to obtain a special save from Dengeki PlayStation containing Duo, who can't be unlocked normally in the original Japanese version. However, he is part of the base roster in the PlayStation the Best for Family release.

• 

  Biohazard 2 signs were replaced by misspelled "Residient Evil" ones outside Japan.
