It also was the first in the Chase H.Q. series to have the protagonist command the car from a first-person view, and have different vehicles available to drive. Nancy, the dispatcher from Chase H.Q. returns, this time, on a videoscreen inside the car before the start of the stage.

The prototype version of Super Chase features several differences from the final version released in arcades. Some differences include:

  • The introduction features Nancy summarizing the first assignment before being cut off to the scene where Tony Gibson (the player) shifts into gear. In addition to this, there is no text that summarizes the car and the player's goal. Finally, the intro doesn't have the transition effects seen in the final version of Super Chase.
  • The order of the stages are switched. After the player beats the Beverly Hills stage, the player immediately goes to Texas, New Orleans, and then finally New York.
  • The main theme used in the entire game is an updated version of Chase H.Q.'s main pursuit theme from the original game.
  • At the end of Stage 4, the game ends.
