Daytona USA 2 Vs Outrun 2 - Challenge Course (New HQ)
158Make sure you check out my newer Daytona USA 2 split comparison video where I compare it to the Japanese version of Xbox Outrun 2 (in 60 fps! ) which has got quite a few differences to the European and North American versions

This is a re-made better quality version of my comparison between the challenge course in Daytona 2: Power Edition (running on Supermodel SVN 270) and the same challenge course (one of the bonus tracks) played in Outrun 2 running on an original Xbox.
When I made the old split-screen video, I didn't actually own any video software that let you make split-screen videos. I literally just played each video back in minimised form on my desktop in a different media player and then used Bandicam to record that specific area of screen. The result worked, but it meant the videos were a bit out of sync and one of the players was lagging ever so slightly, giving Outrun 2 a bit of a choppy appearance.
Another factor to consider was that between the different individual Daytona USA stages in the Outrun 2 version of the challenge course, you get the linking bunki section (with all the street lamps like you normally get in Outrun 2 between stages), which meant that after the first stage Outrun 2 was getting to the same area of the game as Daytona 2 much later, so I've edited the bunki bits out in this so the games are running through the same area more equally. The Outrun 2 version does, however, enter the Daytona 2 'Expert stage' area at a different section of the track compared to the real challenge course - but Outrun 2 actually seems to run a bit faster than Daytona 2, so it does catch up a with the Daytona car a little bit further along. Interestingly, in the Japanese version of Outrun 2, changes were made to make the bonus level more similar to the proper Daytona arcade challenge course, including where you start off in the 'Advanced stage' area and also the addition back of the covered area that leads you to the 'Expert track' part of the course. You actually then start the Expert Course part in a similar position to the real Daytona 2 Challenge Course, unlike the Euro and US versions of Outrun 2. Similar cosmetic changes were made to the Japanese version of Outrun 2's Scud Race themed bonus track, one example of which is the addition of the planes flying overhead in the 'Beginner Night Stage' area.
