Sound/Music
Continental Circus did not offer much on music like most arcade racers do, but instead offered intro/outro music for each race in the vein of Pole Position and Pole Position II. Afterwards, the screen cuts to the start line of the race course, and an announcer comes on with the famous message, "Gentlemen, start your engines! 30 seconds before the start!"
Afterwards, the gameplay would only feature sound effects, unless the player has to pit in for one of the above reasons. During pit, the player can hear the pit crew at work, followed by one member shouting various phrases. For example, upon entry, one member shouts "Don't lose a second... OK, high gear! Let's Go! Go! Go! Go!" In the Arcade game, when the correct amount of coins are inserted there'll be a voice shouting "GO" to indicate the start of the game
The entire collection of musical scores, sound effects, and voice clips were featured in a compilation soundtrack known as "究極TIGER -G.S.M.TAITO 2-". The musical score was composed by "ZUNTATA"
