The character select for Kart Race.

The Kart Race is a hidden option that appeared in Sonic Adventure 2 and its remake, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. It can be played in both single and multiplayer mode.

Description[]

In Sonic Adventure 2, the player can access the Kart Race after completing Route 101 or Route 280. This will open a hidden option in the one-player option called "Kart Race" which will take the player to a list of all the characters in the main gameplay, each with their own carts that differ in abilities.[1] The player can also achieve more carts designs by completing all of their missions.[2]

During the races, the player has to press the Jump button to accelerate, the action button to break and collect at least twenty Rings to use a speed boost by pressing the special action button. However, if the player does use the boost with twenty Rings and collects forty Rings, they can only use the boost once. The player can also determine the difficulty of the challenge from Easy to Hard.

Character Description Image
Sonic The hedgehog is a fast driver. His speed is only matched by Shadow, his acceleration is good, and his grip is fine. His braking is low.

Sonic is also able to get a kart with a larger, fanned-out back from the official VMU download called High-Speed Trial Kart Racing. This downloadable content has been available in the game's North American website. It also includes the race track "High-Speed Trial" that contain curves, Dash Panels, and an instrumental version of "Live and Learn" as background music. In Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, this exclusive kart is available after completing all of his missions, but without the "High-Speed Trial" race track.

Eggman's Kart model in Sonic Adventure 2.

  • The models used for the karts and their riders in the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure 2 have strange light reflection effects, making some of the models look miscolored, like Eggman whose glasses are white. In later ports, this effect was removed.
