"Daytona USA"'s arcade version on the Model 2 is capable of displaying up to 300,000 polygons per second, nearly double that of the previous Model 1. Visually, the game runs at 60 frames per second and utilizes texture filtering, giving the visuals a smooth appearance. The game's camera system presents four different view perspectives from which the game can be played, similar to "Virtua Racing", and also includes the ability to view behind the car. The arcade version offers multiplayer and up to eight players can compete depending on the number of cabinets linked together. Linked deluxe cabinets may also include a camera pointing towards the drivers seat, linked to a closed-circuit television to show the player on a separate screen. In multiplayer, only the lead driver needs to reach a checkpoint before time runs out. To keep players involved in multiplayer battles, rubber-banding is in place, ensuring all players stay involved in the race.
