Cruis'n World is the 1996 sequel to the 1994 arcade racer Cruis'n USA. As the title implies, Cruis'n World allows players to race on various tracks around the world. The game also features more cars than Cruis'n USA. A new feature was the stunts. They served to dodge obstacles, take close curves and so. If the stunt makes the vehicle fly in the air, the game gives the player extra seconds of time. The game also uses small rocket boosts to speed up.

The game was later released on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, being the best received of the Cruis'n ports.

[edit] Arcade And Nintendo 64 Differences

In the Arcade Version, the animals explode into bloody chunks when you hit them, while on the N64 version you pass right through them or they run across the road early enough so you do 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 lets you play split screen with some one else. A rumble pack is compatible with the Nintendo 64 version, while the steering wheel provides resistance on the arcade version when you collide with something.
