Daytona USA: Deluxe is a singleplayer and multiplayer third-person and first-person arcade and racing game in the Daytona series.
Daytona USA: Deluxe (also known as Daytona USA Evolution in Asian regions) is an updated version of Sega Saturn's Circuit Edition that was released in early 1997 exclusively in Japan. The game was released on Windows in November of the same year in both West and Asia.[2]
Compared to the original release, Deluxe features higher framerates and resolutions, as well as better draw distance. Exclusive to this version are a new track, Silver Ocean Causeway, and eight-player online multiplayer. However, some features from Circuit Edition were omitted, such as the original arcade soundtrack. A patch was distributed some time after the game's release which adds new graphic options as well as the mirror mode.[3]
