* [[AndTheFandomRejoiced And There Was Moderate Optimism]]: [[http://www.supermodel3.com/ SuperModel emulator has been released]]. It's still in alpha stage, but it already runs Daytona USA 2 (Battle on the Edge and Power Edition) and SCUD Race (normal and Plus).
** The XboxLiveArcade and PlaystationNetwork releases of the original, as well. More poignant since this means Sega now retains the Daytona license again, putting at least a port for ''Daytona 2'' in the realm of possibility.

** Make of it what you will. The HD versions have different 'trials' you can play that require you to emulate specific driving scenarios. Many of them are "drift through this turn while maintaining a certain speed" and some of them are run using a Manual transmission car and the game points out how to use downshift drifting and basically makes it a requirement (the target speeds are higher than is doable with a braking drift if you're using a manual car).

* PortingDisaster: The SegaSaturn port captured the fun and music from the arcade game, but not the graphics.

* FanNickname (The player car in the original was referred to by fans as the "Hornet", in reference to the logo on the rear bumper and hood. Was eventually canonized by Sega in ''Daytona USA 2 PE''.)
* FirstInstallmentWins (Very few people play or remember ''Daytona USA 2'' or ''SCUD Race''.)
* GameplayDerailment (The original ''Daytona USA'' let you powerslide through corners through strategic gear-shifting. ''Daytona USA 2'' suggests that this wasn't the intended purpose of the shifter, as attempting the same technique on it will result in a spinout instead.)

* PortingDisaster (The SegaSaturn port captured the fun and music from the arcade game, but not the graphics.)
* ThatOneLevel (The Expert level in the original and the subsequent updates is tough. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr0kQlGYcH0 It can be done, but you gotta practice, practice, practice.]])

* TheyJustDidntCare (''Championship Circuit Edition's'' cars have mirrored textures on their right sides. [[TheMountainsOfIllinois There aren't mountains anywhere in Florida]], let alone Daytona Beach.)
