Gameplay
Driller Engine Grand Prix 2 is a kart racing game in which the player controls one of the twenty selectable Drillimation characters who race in karts in different race tracks that vary in shape and theme. During a race, the players can obtain random items from special boxes placed in different areas of the track that are used to impede the opposition and gain the advantage. For example, shells and bananas allow the player to attack opponents and slow them down, and Mushrooms grant the player a temporary boost in speed.
