Regardless, the roster is very small and one of the most restricted I’ve seen in a mascot based kart racing game. The exclusion of Knuckles is a real headscratcher (especially when Eggman himself made the cut) but I’m willing to look past it. There are four playable characters from which you can choose here Sonic, Tails, Amy and Eggman. Eggman (Robotnik to you and I) has stolen the chaos emeralds and it’s up to Sonic and crew to beat him in a number of different races to win them back. There’s really not much of a storyline to speak of.

This is a kart racer, and a handheld game at that. Here’s our review of Sonic Drift for the Game Gear! Today we’re going to take a look at this import exclusive kart racer. It’s also a Sega Game Gear exclusive as well which limits the userbase even further. It turns out they did but it was never released outside of Japan so most people never had a chance to play it. I was always left wondering why Sega never copied Nintendo’s Mario Kart formula with their popular Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
