* SequelFirst: ''Drift 2'' came out in the West years before the first game did, which wouldn't see a release outside of Japan until 2003 (where it was amongst the unlockable Game Gear titles in ''SonicAdventure DX''). Confusingly, the game is still titled ''Sonic Drift 2'' in the West despite this (Europe would change the title to ''Sonic Drift Racing'', but only on its cover art).
