Sonic Drift 2

Description

Sonic Drift 2 (ソニックドリフト2 Sonikku Dorifuto Ni?), also called Sonic Drift Racing in Europe, is a kart racing game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series for the Sega Game Gear, developed and released by Sega. The game is the sequel to Sonic Drift that, unlike its predecessor, was released internationally in 1995. Featuring more racecourses and additional items, the game also added more playable characters.

Gameplay:
Like in Sonic Drift, the player starts out in the fourth place at the beginning of a Chaos GP circuit. As the player completes a race course, they and each other racer are awarded with points based on their finishing positions, allowing the participants to improve their place:

1st Place: 3 points
2nd Place: 2 points
3rd Place: 1 points
4th Place: 0 points

 

Objects

Items

Sonic Drift 2 has more items and power-ups than in Sonic Drift, most of which included multicolored Monitors.

Item Name Despriction
Sonic-Drift-Ring
Ring The traditional Ring which can be collected over the course of a race. If a racer has two Rings (three in Metal Sonic’s case), the racer can perform their own unique Special Ability.
High-Speed
Dash A red Monitor that grants a small burst of speed.
Drift 2 YellowMonitor
Jump A yellow Monitor that bounces the racer into mid-air similar to the Spring. Press up on  to trigger it.
Drift 2 BlackMonitor
Mine A gray Monitor that contains a mine. Pressing up on  drops the mine on the race course. Touching the mines makes a racer screech to a complete stop.
Invincibility-Muteki
Invincible A blue Monitor which makes the racer invulnerable to obstacles and Special Abilities for a few seconds.
Spring-Sonic-Drift-2
Spring Red Springs that will bounce the racer into mid-air. Several race courses have Gorges, that the racers have to cross by using Springs. While flying via a Spring, power-ups or Special Abilities cannot be utilized.
Flash Star
Flash When a racer drives into a Flash Star, the entire screen momentarily whites out. In the Versus multiplayer mode, this will happen to both players, regardless of user.
Drift 2 Reverse
Reverse Passing though a Reverse ball reverses a racer’s movements momentarily, meaning pressing left on turns the racer to the right and vice versa.
