Sonic Speedway, one of six McDonald's handheld games from 2003.
Sonic Speedway is a handheld LCD game that was released as a McDonalds Happy Meal give away toy offered for a limited time in 2003. This was one of 6 games.
Game Play
Being an LCD game, Sonic Speedway plays very similar to the Tiger electronics LCD games from the 90's with a racing simulation similar to that of Sonic Drift. The game has two large red buttons that control left and right movement. Sonic drives an F-1 racecar which must navigate through a course filled with anonymous drivers. Sonic must Maneuver to an open lane, avoiding the other racers. Out of the three possible lanes, one will always be open, while the others may be occupied by oponents. 1 point is rewardes For each row of vehicles avoided. After receiving 30 points the level and speed will increase. There are 4 levels total. If Sonic crashes 5 times in a single level the game ends.
