Sonic Drift 2 (ソニックドリフト2 Sonikku Dorifuto Tsū?), released in Europe as Sonic Drift Racing, is a kart racing video game developed and published by Sega for the Game Gear. The game serves as a sequel to Sonic Drift, and was released in Japan and Europe in March 1995, and later in North America in November 1995. It added three characters: Knuckles, Fang the Sniper, and Metal Sonic, and marked the first time the last two were playable characters.
In the game, Chaos Emeralds are awarded for winning races. If Sonic, Tails, Knuckles or Amy collect all 6 in the Blue GP, they will face Robotnik in a final race around the Death Egg. If Robotnik, Fang or Metal Sonic collect all six in the Blue GP, they will face Sonic in the final race.
Reception for Sonic Drift 2 have been mixed, although generally more positive than its predecessor. On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the game a 19 out of 40.GameSpot described the game as "basically unplayable because of poor handling and a really short horizon".
