Mario Kart 64 proves one more time that the Japanese have a strange kind of humor:
In the Mushroom Cup, advertisements can be seen at the track borders, which were parodies on actually existing real-life companies. This had to be changed for the international release of the game (e.g. USA and Europe).
Whether this censoring was executed because of licensing issues or whether it was due to the publishing guidelines by Nintendo America/Europe remains unknown.
Comparison between the censored international Version and the uncensored JP Version. Changes unrelated to censorship will not be mentioned in this comparison.
