to:

* ApatheticCitizens: The first game features pedestrians in the course who are just basically crossing briskly across the street. They give 0 shits when there is an illegal street race ongoing and cars just blazing through them ([[InvulnerableCivilians though pedestrians would steer clear of the drivers, making running over them impossible]]).
* BlandNameProduct: Has quite a subtle in the first game. Notably the USA course has faux brands, like Sumway (Subway) and Dandy's (Wendy's).
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The AI rivals very rarely, if ever, make mistakes and crash. Averted in the third game, where AI rivals tend to crash a bit more frequently. Notably the railroad and clifftop sections.
* DangerousClifftopRoad: Parts of the mountainous road have no guardrails. Falling down the road will result in an accident.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Got entangled in a serious or fatal accident? Nah, OnlyAFleshWound. You'll just simply respawn an continue racing.



* EiffelTowerEffect: The third game puts some iconic landmarks in its respective courses; USA has the Golden Gate Bridge, Europe has the Arc de Triomphe and Japan has Tokyo's Rainbow Bridge.



** No longer the case in the third game as the weather is chosen by the pre-race selection menu.



* GratuitousForeignLanguage:
** The police in the third game all speak in its course's respective languages; English for USA, French for Europe and Japanese (obviously) for Japan.
** The [[LargeHamAnnouncer hammy male announcer]] in the third game has "'''''CHECKPOINT! REFUELLING!'''''"

to:
