About Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament
Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament featured cars that require different handling techniques for each course and also hovercraft and helicopters. There are different playing modes including "head-to-head", in which each player earns points by driving a full screen ahead of the opponent. TV presenter Violet Berlin features as a playable driver. The MS-DOS version featured a track editor. A selling point for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version was the J-Cart, a cartridge including two control ports, thus eliminating the need for a 4-player adaptor. It also included a 'pad-sharing' feature which allowed 2 players to share a single joypad; thus it enabled 8 players to compete simultaneously, on certain tracks.

A European Mega Drive cart with a built-in four-player trick, and a cheap one to find.
Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament was developed by Supersonic Software and published by Codemasters. It came out on the Mega Drive in Europe on 25 November 1994. You race miniature toy vehicles around small-scale environments, with new vehicles and modes compared with the first game.
The cartridge is a J-Cart, with two controller ports built in, so a couple of extra pads allow up to eight players taking turns on shared controllers without a multitap. Sega Retro lists it as working with Sega's Team Player. A later Mega Drive release, Micro Machines Turbo Tournament '96, added a track editor, new tracks and a new soundtrack, and is a separate game.
What the press said at the time
| Sega Magazine Issue 13 | January 1995 | 96% |
“Great value, endless playability even for a single player, and my candidate for game of the year.”
“Perhaps the most playable game on the Megadrive, Micro Machines 2 is frankly a superlative release. The best multi-player experience you'll ever have”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Mega Drive version shipped on a J-Cart, which allowed up to eight players without a multitap.
A Mega Drive update, Micro Machines Turbo Tournament '96, followed in 1995 with a track editor, new race tracks and a new soundtrack.

Before you buy
This is a European cartridge, and it sits below the middle among European-only carts, so it is a cheap pickup. Check that a listing is the 1994 game and not the later '96 release.
