Cruis'n World - Arcade and Nintendo 64 Differences

Arcade and Nintendo 64 Differences

• In the arcade version, many voice clips were present in certain stages, explaining about them. In the Nintendo 64 version, they were removed, probably due to storage constraints in the home version.

• In the arcade version, the animals explode into bloody chunks when the player hits them, while on the N64 version, the player passes right through them or they run across the road early enough so the player does not hit them. This was probably done to avoid the game getting a Teen rating.

• The Nintendo 64 version gives the player the ability to race in a tournament mode, save data back to the ROM cartridge, and give the car custom boosts ("Power Levels") and paint jobs. The Nintendo 64 version also features split-screen multiplayer.

• The Nintendo 64 version is Rumble Pack-compatible, while the steering wheel provides resistance on the arcade version when the player collides with something.

• In the arcade version, at the start of the race, a woman appears on the screen and waves the checkered flag and says "READY...SET...GO!!" and then goes off screen. In the Nintendo 64 version, there's an option called "Winning Girl" in the Options menu that toggles this feature.

• In the song, "Asia Minor" (originally known as "Noble Sama") that was used on the stages Japan and China, the sound of the tubular bells was removed.

• The arcade version features original Cruis'n USA sounds. On the N64 version, these sounds were replaced.

• The arcade version follows suit and is modeled after its predecessor Cruis'n USA, in which track selection comes first, then transmission selection, then car selection afterwards. The N64 version reverses this, starting off with transmission selection first, then car selection, then track selection.

• In the arcade version, Africa and Egypt share the song "Jungle Bumpin'" along with Hawaii and Florida, while at the same time, Germany and England share the song "Euro House" along with France. In the N64 version, four new songs were composed for each individual track, reflecting on the track's location: Kenya's new track is "Anijibi", Egypt's new track is "Cairo Cruis'n", Germany's new track is "Schifter", and England's new track is "The Chase".
