Hidden Dreamcast Logos
On the final turn of the Advanced Course, you normally see a normal hedge wall where a Gameworks logo was in Battle on the Edge. However, in an emulator with certain graphics set-ups (low enough to force graphics clipping) you can see a familiar orange spiral clipping through the hedge. This Dreamcast logo disappears as you approach it, first the white background and then the spiral itself. This graphic also appears in the Extra course. Also, in the front straightaway of the beginner's course, if you look closely on top of one of the garages, you can see a billboard that says 'SEGA Dreamcast Cup Series.' This game was released just after the Dreamcast's Japanese release, so perhaps they were merely meant as advertising or may have been a hint at a console release.

Astro Waterfall Speedway
A small bush and a palm tree leaf from Battle On The Edge's Beginner Course can still be found within the texture cache of Power Edition. The textures go unused, as the Beginner Course was changed into Sega International Speedway.
Chums Gum
Aside from the Chums Gum billboard in the Beginner Course, there are still some leftover Chums Gum graphics that go unused due to the designated Easy Level Car being rebranded to 'J.C. Eagle.'
Car selection logo. Can be seen spinning for a split second after the Easy car is chosen.
Multiplayer vehicle graphic. Goes unused.
Leftover Sounds
In Battle on the Edge, audio files related to the aforementioned Chums Gum, Astro Waterfall Speedway, and the Hornet car (as a previously-secret vehicle) can still be heard in Power Edition's Sound Test. In the game's Live Mode, the announcer will still call the Beginner Course (Sega International Speedway) as 'Forest Dome' and the Easy Level Car (J.C. Eagle) as Chums Gum.
Prototype Course Select
Power Edition's earlier 'Course Select' screen with what appears to be a Yellow Expert Course graphic, presumably a placeholder for the final 'Challenge/Mix' graphic.

Daytona USA 2: Battle on the Edge is an arcaderacing game released by Sega in 1998 as a follow-up to the extremely successful Daytona USA. The game featured vastly superior graphics, utilizing the Sega Model 3 hardware. The majority of Daytona USA 2 cabinets were released as deluxe models (with far fewer Twin Cabinets), which could be linked together for up to sixteen players. A notable change from the original is the ability to select a car and corresponding driver, each with varying capabilities for varying levels of player experience. Just like before, the game has three courses – a Beginner course with 8 laps with a distance of 1 mile (1.6 km), an Advanced course with 4 laps with a distance of 2.5 miles (4 km), and a long Expert course with 2 laps with a distance of 5 miles (8 km). The 'time lap' mode also returns, and is accessed in the same manner – by holding down start at the transmission select screen. Like the original game, mirrored versions of the tracks can also be played by holding down the Start button when selecting the course. It is recommended, however, that the player has had mastery of the course beforehand. By request, an arcade operator could put the game on Grand Prix or Endurance mode to increase the number of laps in a game. Finishing a race in the top 3 in any course allows the player to view an 'ending' and see the game credits.
An addition to the game was the 'slingshot', corresponding to advanced NASCAR drafting techniques. There are no direct home ports of Battle on the Edge and Power Edition. Originally, Daytona USA 2 was planned to be released on Sega's Dreamcast system according to game magazines, however plans for this fell through and Daytona USA 2001 took its place, serving both as a remake to the original game and implementing some aspects of Daytona USA 2 in the process.

Power Edition[edit]
In late 1998, a few months after the release of Battle on the Edge, Sega released an updated version, known as Daytona USA 2: Power Edition. Changes in this game include the environment of the beginner course; the dome and natural scenery that encircle the track in the regular release are removed and is changed to a 'NASCAR Oval' look. However, the course layout remains the same. Also included is the 'Challenge' course option, which combines the three courses altogether. Along with slightly revamped handling physics, the beginner car's livery is altered. Added to Power Edition is the Hornet Classic car, the player car from Daytona USA with an altered design. The Hornet Classic was usable in Battle on the Edge, but the code to unlock it was unknown until December 31, 2020.[1] The opponent cars' AI is also more aggressive in this version, with another change being to one corner in the advanced course to balance out the difficulty. Before this change, many experts considered this corner the most difficult in the game.[citation needed] Unusual for an arcade game, there was also an official strategy guide released in Japan. This strategy guide featured developer interviews as well as comprehensive tips and hints compiled by a group of arcade driving game professionals known as Team Marubaku.[2] The strategy guide has been out of print for a number of years and second-hand copies can command high prices.[3]
Soundtrack[edit]
The Daytona USA 2 soundtrack was composed by Fumio Ito[4] and Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, the latter being the composer of and singer on Daytona USA. Compared to the original game's soundtrack, the Daytona USA 2 soundtrack is heavier and more electric. Dennis St. James was the vocalist for all tracks with lyrics, four total. The game also has an alternate soundtrack with vocals provided by Mitsuyoshi, which can be enabled by the arcade operator. Contrary to popular belief, the band Winger did not create an entirely new soundtrack for the game or perform it as a band. Instead, the guitarist and drummer for Winger, Reb Beach and Rod Morgenstein, lent their skills to contribute to the soundtrack.
Daytona USA 2's soundtrack was released in Japan on dual-disc album on July 17, 1998. The first disc contains 'original audio' tracks – that is, the course themes etc. in standard format – and 'original sound' tracks – where Tom West, commentator for the Sega Sports Channel, reports on the day's racing. These tracks are the previous course themes mixed in parts with in-game audio, such as engine noise, crashes, radio chatter from the pit crew, and so on.
Reception[edit]
In Japan, Game Machine listed Daytona USA 2 on their August 1, 1998 issue as being the third most-successful dedicated arcade game of the year.[5]Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that 'We're happy to report that it comes completed with impressive graphics, improvements, new tracks, a level of detail that brings new sophistication to the game, and up to sixteen-player heats.'[6]
