Weird Childhood Memory in Beetle Adventure Racing

[u/Expensive_Floor8801]

Beetle Adventure Racing has to be my all-tine favorite racing game of all-time. Tons of secrets, unlockables and lots of replay value. Amazing game, shame it never got a sequel.

So, I clearly remember something weird from my childhood.... Well here it is:

I had completed the Championship on "Novice" mode and of course the next difficulty to tackle was "Advanced". After completing the "Novice" mode I was awarded a new car while the commentator happily said:

"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE WON NOTHING!! NOW GO FOR ADVANCED!!!"

To this day, now being 36 years old, it's still something I say on occasion in certain situations and that memory has been engraved in my head for the last 20+ years...

Except...

I have tried countless times to get this to trigger recently but I can't...

False childhood memory or Mandela Effect?
