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"

Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or music:
“There have been many stories told about the bottom, or rather no bottom, of this pond, which certainly had no foundation for themselves. It is remarkable how long men will believe in the bottomlessness of a pond without taking the trouble to sound it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
That only I remember, that only you admire,
Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
