Keen reader and occasional contributor "Chris" has spotted GLARING and UNDENIABLE similarities between artwork designed to promote SEGA's 1995 Game Gear game Sonic Drift 2 and Nintendo's 2008 game Mario Kart Wii.

Given the 13 year gap, it is clear that one company is copying the other.




To the left - Mario Kart Wii. To the right, Sonic Drift 2. Another case of Nintendo using SEGA to line its own FILTHY POCKETS.


THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER WRITES...
"Been doing a bit of browsing through the archives (ie my SEGA art wank bank) and have noticed that the new art promoting Mario Kart Wii is clearly a rip-off of the artwork promoting Sonic Drift 2 back in the day. I have attached both images for easy comparison.

"Now, I'm no artist, but it's clear that the perspective is similar (albeit slightly more raised in the Sonic one, clearly suggesting a position of dominance over Mario's effort), each game's main character is in the lead, there are all sorts of dopey fuckers trying to catch up in each, and both generally evoke chaos in a manner that neither game could ever hope to realistically convey.

"Naturally, the Sonic one looks better because 2D art is always better than 3D art, and because Metal Sonic is clearly trying to rape Amy Rose by drilling a hole through the front of his car and the back of hers, and by forcing his extending metallic cock through both holes and directly into her ring-piece. And clearly, judging by her face, she's none the wiser. She will be soon when the blood starts flowing.

"Anyway, I hope this makes it clear that Nintendo clearly owes SEGA some sort of money or, at the very least, a loan of Shigsy for a while so he can make Shenmue 3, complete with Animal Crossing toys in the capsule machines."

It's not terribly dissimilar to the original Super Mario Kart boxart either, but whatever.

well this is clearly horrible. OH WAIT NO IT ISN'T, BECAUSE SONIC DRIFT 2 ON GAME GEAR SUCKED AND EVERYONE WOULD PLAY MARIO KART WII OVER IT.

but yeah, as Ross said, it's like the Super Mario Kart box

mario kart has blue sky. sonic does not.

this is so wrong.

anyway, you gotta love the 90's airbrush art. it looks as bad as always.
Sonic Drift 2 was o.k. If memory serves me correctly one of the power-ups had the 'You Can Doing Anything Theme' which equals win in my book.

Has The Swill Man gotten onto Zorg's account?

There are so many Sonic Drift clones on the market. Sega should really do something about Nintendo's relentless cloning!!!

I heard that if you get 30 Firsts in a row in Mario Kart wii, it unlocks Sonic as a playable character.

Then this clearly proves the superiority of Sonic Drift over Mario Kart: you don't need to win 30 times in a row to get Sonic.
