2, The stadium stage lights are now yellow not pale white grey.
3. The athlete sprite has more palette improvent so it now shows the shading colours as well as fixing the palette on the high jump event when it’s tank top went blue when it’s suppose to be green, must be rushed when trying to release it in PAL.
