* '''''Sega Racing Classic'' (2010):''' [[Updated Rerelease]] of the original ''Daytona USA'', [[Expy|but without the Daytona in the title]]. Runs in high definition, but [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|swaps out]] the [[Ear Worm|the title track in the attract screen and Advanced course]] for an instrumental version due to their loss of the Daytona license.

* [[Bladder of Steel]]: The games allow you to change how many laps in a given race, from the default of 8 (Beginner) / 4 (Advanced) / 2 (Expert) all the way up to, in ''Daytona USA 2'', [[Serial Escalation|500 (Beginner) / 250 (Advanced) / 125 (Expert).]]
* [[Bowdlerisation]]: ''SCUD Race'' was renamed to ''Sega Super GT'' in the US. "SCUD" in this context stands for "Sports Car Ultimate Drive", but it also [[wikipedia:Scud|brings back bad memories of the Cold War]].
* [[The Cameo]]: [[
** Also, there's a statue of ''[[Virtua Fighter]]'' 's Jeffry McWild in the Expert course.
** Sonic also appears in SCUD Race's beginner course on a billboard.
Line 43:
* [[Critical Annoyance]] "Check your position!"
* [[Crossover]] The "Hornet" player car from the original is a playable fighter in ''[[Fighters Megamix]]'' which featured characters from Sega games like sister games ''[[Virtua Fighter]]'', ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic The Fighters]]'', ''[[Fighting Vipers]]'' and ''[[Virtua Cop]]''.
** Also: "[[Ridge Racer
* [[
* [[Video Games/Awesome Music|Crowning Music Of Awesome]]: And how!
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RibBj1i-z0 Fly like the sons of angels...]
Line 52:
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: 2's soundtrack to the rest of the series. The soundtrack has a more aggressive rock theme to it, and the vocals are provided by the same person who sang the English [[Burning Rangers]] theme.
* [[Determinator]]: ''Every'' car and driver. These cars can take serious damage, but that won't stop them from running in the race.
* [[Difficulty
* [[Easier Than Easy]]: ''SCUD Race Plus'''s Super Beginner course. It's set in a giant house, with your opponents being various toys.
** Circuit Pixie from ''2001'' is an standard oval track with no real challenge. For racing purists or beginners.
Line 58:
* [[Easy Mode Mockery]]: ''2'''s beginner car has candy as its sponsor and ''hugging bunnies'' right on the hood! This was taken out in ''PE'', with a replacement [[Big Badass Bird of Prey|eagle]] on the hood.
* [[Epic Fail]]: Slam into something hard enough and your car does a pretty spectacular flipout. "Are you alright?".
* [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Expansion Pack]]: Daytona USA CCE, SCUD Race Plus, Daytona USA 2 Power Edition
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: The Javelin car in ''2001'' is the fastest car in the series, but is almost impossible to keep under control. As such, it's prone to crashing a lot.
Line 67:
* [[It's a Wonderful Failure]]: In ''Daytona USA 2 PE'', on ending a multiplayer race, you are shown a cutscene of your driver and pit crew reacting to your result. The cutscene gets more depressing the lower your final position is.
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: The Scorpio Plasma Batteries car in ''2''. Hornet takes this role outside the arcades.
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmGIqk3nzz8 Horse], a [[Secret Character
* [[Marathon Level]]: Either extended the laps around the track, or by racing through 2's Challenge Track.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Finish 3rd or better in a non-multiplayer race in the original, and you get a special "Victory Lane" cutscene.
Line 85:
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Hornet in ''USA 2'' feels exactly like the first game. But to further drive the point home, Hornet's "Rolling Start!" intro is also ''exactly'' the same.
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Keeping in the spirit of the first game, Mistuyoshi versions of 2's soundtrack exist. They can even be raced too. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOilrTNmzX0&feature=channel_video_title All] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRIQK4FEGkc&feature=channel_video_title three] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFJPw_RM960&feature=relmfu songs]. Now try racing seriously with him singing in such a goofy way.
* [[Stalked
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: ''Sega Racing Classic'' to the original ''Daytona''. [http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3176738 See it here in all of its glory.]
** Power Edition was this to Battle on the Edge as well.
