The game retained the "Dancing Jeffry" feature from the Seaside Street Galaxy from the original Daytona USA. In response to numerous fan complaints that the original Daytona USA soundtrack was inappropriate for a racing game, Sega Europe's in-house composer, Richard Jacques, was tasked with remixing the original songs, along with musicians from both Sega Japan and Sega America. Development Īfter finishing the Saturn version of Sega Rally Championship, the development team were planning to do a Saturn conversion of Indy 500, but due to fan demand they undertook Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition instead. Instead, there are a number of individual cars selectable, each named after their respective racing team. Team Hornet and their car do not appear in the game. Daytona USA Deluxe for PC also adds a sixth course, "Silver Ocean Causeway". The game also features two brand new circuits, "National Park Speedway" and "Desert City". The tracks are "Three Seven Speedway" (beginner track), "Dinosaur Canyon" (advanced track) and "Seaside Street Galaxy" (expert track). This is the first version of Daytona USA to name the three tracks present in the original game, rather than using Beginner, Advanced, and Expert. It was also separately released in North America for the Saturn as a Netlink-compatible title, entitled Daytona USA: CCE Netlink Edition. The European release does not feature the "black bars" at the top and bottom of the screen that are present in the majority of PAL games of the era - the box boasts "slick new full screen graphics". Improvements over the original Sega Saturn version of Daytona USA include a drastic reduction in popup, increased framerate (now a consistent thirty frames per second), a new selection of cars, two new courses, a 2-player mode, compatibility with the Saturn's 3D analogue control pad and Arcade Racer steering wheel, and a ghost mode.

This version was originally released in Europe and North America, with some modifications done in the subsequent Japanese release. Released in 1996, it is a reworked and extended version of the original Daytona USA, and was developed by the same team that oversaw the Saturn port of Sega Rally Championship, by using a modified version of the Sega Saturn engine of Sega Rally Championship.

Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition, or Daytona USA: Circuit Edition in Japan, is a racing game by Sega, specifically designed for the Sega Saturn.
