| 1 | * FollowTheLeader: Both games were created following the success of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioKart'' for the [[Platform/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]], the game that revolutionized the MascotRacer genre. [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMDZhODlkNTctOWZlZC00NmM0LWJlYTQtNTFhNjRkZmViYTkxXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDQ2OTk4MzI@._V1_.jpg The cover art]] for ''Drift 2'' in particular bears a striking resemblance [[https://i.etsystatic.com/32830465/r/il/245aba/4031548169/il_fullxfull.4031548169_2kvf.jpg to that of]] ''SMK''. Though these games were the first to compete with the ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' series, [[VideoGame/SonicR they wouldn't]] [[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars be]] [[VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing the last]]. |
| 2 | * LateExportForYou: ''Drift 1'' was initially a Japan-exclusive until it was ported to ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure DX: Director's Cut'' in 2003 and then later included in ''Sonic Mega Collection Plus''. |
| 3 | * MarketBasedTitle: ''Sonic Drift Racing'' for the sequel, but only on the European cover art. |
| 4 | * 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 ''VideoGame/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). |
