About Super Skidmarks
Super Skidmarks is a racing video game developed by Acid Software and released in 1995. The game is the sequel to Skidmarks and as such was also termed Skidmarks 2 and Super Skidmarks 2 by commentators. The game features “minimally realistic” action viewed from an isometric perspective as well as novelty vehicles such as wheeled cows and caravans. Various methods such as joypad adapters and link systems are employed to allow multiple players to compete, up to a maximum of 8. The game was critically acclaimed and a best-seller in the UK. Several upgrades to the Amiga original were released as well as conversions for the Amiga CD32 and Sega Mega Drive, the latter published by Codemasters.

A fun multiplayer racer from Codemasters that Mega Drive owners rated alongside Micro Machines.
Super Skidmarks came out only in Europe, on the Mega Drive in November 1995, published by Codemasters and developed by Acid Software. It is a conversion of the Amiga racer, which was an award-winning game, and it was the first Skidmarks game on the Mega Drive.
GamePro UK rated it highly and said it was as good as, if not better than, Micro Machines. A reader of Computer and Video Games later wrote that either game was extremely good fun.
What the press said at the time
| GamePro Issue 6 | February 1996 | 92% |
“Though the game's good fun. the bumpy tracks and the slightly awkward view mean that it isn't as smooth to play as MM2. … Sadly the game just isn't as good as the Micro games, fun though it is.”
“An enjoyable racer when with friends, hut may not last as long in one player mode.”
“Just as good, if not better than Micro Machines. More playability than you can possibly handle!”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Mega Drive conversion was published by Codemasters; Mean Machines Sega noted it was the game's console debut, from an award-winning Amiga racer.

- Amiga. Amiga Power said the Amiga game's widescreen link mode, which allows up to 8 players, elevates it to near divine status, though few players owned the two A1200s it needed.
- Amiga. Amiga Format called the Amiga original nigh on perfect.
Before you buy
Among European-only carts the loose price is above the middle. A J-Cart edition has two extra controller ports on the cartridge, so four players need no adapter, and a standard cart without the ports also exists, so check which one a listing is.
