help Daytona USA FAQ

Was Daytona USA originally a Nintendo 64 game?

No. Daytona USA began as a 1994 arcade racing game by Sega AM2, not as a Nintendo 64 title. Its most famous home versions were on Sega systems such as the Saturn and Dreamcast.

Why do people still remember Daytona USA's rolling start?

The arcade version opens with the announcer and music setting up a loud, instantly recognizable stock-car race mood. Its beginner course, Three Seven Speedway, became one of Sega's most familiar 1990s arcade tracks.

How many tracks are in the original Daytona USA arcade game?

The original arcade game centers on three courses: beginner, advanced, and expert. That small track count mattered less in arcades because the handling, drifting, time limits, and cabinet force feedback encouraged repeat play.

Who developed Daytona USA?

Daytona USA was developed by Sega AM2, the same Sega division associated with Virtua Fighter and other major arcade games. The game used Sega's Model 2 arcade hardware in the mid-1990s.
