Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament is the direct sequel to the critically acclaimed Micro Machines. Initially released by Codemasters for the Sega Mega Drive, ports were made to the Sega Game Gear, DOS computers, Game Boy, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
A US version was advertised by GameTek but never materialised.

Gameplay
Gameplay is similar to its predecessor, but the physics are now slightly different depending on the vehicle.
Two variants of the Mega Drive version exist - one distributed on Codemasters' custom-made "J-Cart" design, and another on a regular Codemasters-style cartridge. The latter makes up for its lack of J-Cart ports by being compatible with Sega's Team Player adapter - it is currently not known whether the J-Cart variant retains the compatibility.
