The Sega Sports Pad (セガ スポーツパッド) is a Sega Master System controller designed for sports games. The controller exchanges the standard Master System D-pad for a trackball for 360 degree motion.
There are two versions of the Sports Pad; a larger 1986 edition, and a smaller 1988 variant. The 1986 version was intended for North America, though saw a limited release in Japan as a competition prize (alongside Great Ice Hockey) in late 1987/early 1988; it has extra switches to allow it to emulate the 8-directional movement setting for other games, but possibly due to an technical oversight, is incompatible with the Sega Mark III. The 1988 version drops the switches and fixes Mark III support.
Neither version of the Sports Pad proved popular, with only three games officially supporting the peripheral. In Japan the device was never sold separately, either pacakged with Great Ice Hockey or Sports Pad Soccer.
