Ice Cap (Sonic Drift 2)



Previous track — White Grand Prix 3rd track — Next track

IceCap also appears as a racecourse in Sonic Drift 2 for the Sega Game Gear. This stage is the third track of the White Grand Prix (White being the intermediate of the three available tournaments), coming after Rainy Savanna and before Hill Top. Although the rest of the White GP appears to take place on Westside Island, IceCap obviously sees the racers divert (somehow) upwards, to Knuckles' floating home.

The course is fairly straightforward, with only tinted ice to slow Sonic down if he strays off the track (as opposed to the bottomless pits which grace some of the courses). Giant snowflakes scattered on the road are as evanescent as one would expect, and don't even slow the player down if the player plows into them. IceCap also features massive snow banks on the outside of some corners, which Sonic and company can drive up. As with most other races in the 2nd Chaos Grand Prix, the player has to complete three laps of the track to proceed, and the fastest racer gets a Chaos Emerald.
