Cruis'n Exotica was released in February 2000 (according to the Version 1.3).
In the Las Vegas race, when you pass under the Elvis impersonator, he looks a bit like Nintendo's 1981 cash cow Donkey Kong in an Elvis suit. And you can also hear an Elvis Guitar Style rendition of the Donkey Kong theme for a few seconds.
Michael Jackson used to own this game (Serial number 44372405623). It was sold at the official Michael Jackson Auction on Apr. 24th, 2009.
