Excluding the Commodore 64 games that week, this game was the 200th Virtual Console release.
In the car selection screen, holding C-Up + C-Left + C-Down while any car (except the far right car) is highlighted will cause that car to change into a jeep, a school bus, or a police car. These can be upgraded the same as the ordinary cars.
On the high score screen, holding the analog stick left will cause the conveyor at the bottom to move. After about 30 seconds of holding left, an animated head will roll in accompanied by someone saying "I love this job!"
The trophy girl which appears at the end of each race is adult film star Shyla Foxxx, who's credited in the game under her real name Anutza Herling.[1] In the Nintendo 64 version, she was censored to wear a shirt instead of being seen in a bikini.
Similarly, the cutscene where then-United States President Bill Clinton is seen lounging in a bathtub with scantly-clad women on the roof of the White House was censored to just a simple showcase of the player's vehicle instead.
