Sonic Drift 2

Similar to Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2 is a kart racing game. Players drive into the direction of the screen and around corners, including by drifting. They can also drive into video monitors on the track to pick up various power-ups, such as mines that can be used as a weapon, and a star that freezes all opponents. Rings on the track can be collected to use special abilities unique to each character.

Alongside Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Dr. Eggman returning from the first game, there are three additional playable characters: Metal Sonic, Fang, and Knuckles.

Sonic Drift 2 received middling reviews in Famicom Tsūshin. GamePro's Sir Garnabus commented that, "Hairpin turns, bombs in the road, and competitors who never give up make Sonic Drift 2 Game Gear racing at its best." He also praised the detailed graphics, controls, and the use of a different musical piece for each track. Gus Swan and Steve Merrett of Mean Machines Sega praised the game for its good value for money and said it was a good reason to buy a link cable for two players. Computer and Video Games called the game a big improvement over the previous game and was overall a great racing game for the handheld, while German magazine Mega Fun thought the changes were mainly quantitative, with more characters and more complex tracks.
