Manx TT Superbike is a Sega Model 2 arcade game developed by Sega AM3 and Sega AM4. Initially released in 1995, it is a motorbike racing game where players race around the Isle of Man TT circuit. Eight arcade can could be linked together, similar to Daytona USA', meaning it was very popular in arcades of the era.

The game was brought to the Sega Saturn in 1997 by Psygnosis and Tantalus Interactive, and brought to Windows by Perfect Entertainment. These versions were distributed under the Sega Sports name, and feature a Redbook audio soundtrack. The PC version has various other improvements such as higher resolution graphics and improved sound.

Many of the unsold Manx TT Superbike arcade cabinets were converted into Motor Raid ones.

Sheep Mode

There is a code that allows racers to play as sheep, possibly as a nod to the breed of Manx sheep that are only found on the Isle of Man (though the playable sheep are not Manx sheep).

The mode can be accessed in the arcade version with the following combination on the transmission select screen; shift up, shift up, shift down, shift down, lean the bike full left, lean the bike full right, break and accelerate.

The Saturn version is similar; UpUpDownDownLeftRightZY, also on the transmission select screen.

Similarly, Daytona USA: Champion Circuit Edition allows the user to play as a horse.
