Mine (power-up)

Mine (機雷BOX) is a Monitor power-up that appears in Sonic Drift 2. Monitors that have Mine show a simple black screen. When obtained, this power-up allows the racer to drop an exploding mine on the racetrack.

Description
In the gameplay of Sonic Drfit 2, the player can obtain Mine from the racetrack by driving over it. However, unlike other Monitor power-ups in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the effects of Mine are not automatically activated when touched. Instead, when the player obtains it, an icon of Mine appear on the top of the screen, indicating that the player has it stored away, where Mine can be spend at the player's command. To use Mine while in possession of it, the player has to press up on the D-pad.

When utilizing Mine, the player throws an exploding mine on the racetrack as a trap for the participants in the race. It can be thrown forward or backward, depending on where the closest opponent is. Playable characters that touch these mines will come to a complete stop while spinning out of control and as well lose Rings.

The exploding mines deployed from the Mine power-up can affect any playable character in the race, including the player himself/herself. Until the player uses Mine, he/she cannot obtain any other power-ups. Additionally, any other playable characters participating in the race can utilize Jump.
