The sequel to the Japan-exclusive Sonic Drift with more courses, more characters, and a much better AI. Unfortunately, much like its predecessor, it still suffers from all the problems that come with being a racing game on the Game Gear.

Unused Graphics

Main Menu

Sonic Drift 2 unused sleepy Tails.png

An unused Tails sprite intended for the main menu screen. He only ever closes his eyes half-way; this sprite going unused was most likely an error.

Amy Rose

Sonic Drift 2 (Unused) Sonic Drift
SonicDrift2-Amy-Unused.png SonicDrift-Amy.png

Amy's sprites from Sonic Drift, unused as all of Drift's racers received completely new sprites for the sequel. Interestingly, many of them have been slightly redrawn (her back spikes being the most noticeable difference), indicating that they're not simply leftovers.
