Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition, known as Street Fighter II' Plus (ストリートファイターII ダッシュプラス) in Japan, is a versus fighting game released by Capcom for the Sega Mega Drive in 1993. It is an enhanced port of Street Fighter II': Champion Edition and Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting.

Interestingly, Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition is closer to Hyper Fighting than Champion Edition itself. Aside from that, alterations are made to take into account the weaker Mega Drive hardware as well as cartridge size; and there are predictably fewer on-screen colours, and there is no announcer.

Special Champion Edition is notable among Mega Drive fans, as the console's main competitor, the Super Nintendo, had at this point received two Street Fighter II games (Street Fighter II, and Street Fighter II Turbo), both derived from arcade versions of the game. Whilst not selling as many copies as the previous Super Nintendo releases (6.3 million and 4.1 million respectively) Special Champion Edition managed to sell 1.65 million copies, becoming Capcom's only Mega Drive title to surpass more than a million unit sales (a feat only repeated by one other Capcom title on a Sega system; Resident Evil Code: Veronica on the Dreamcast). As well as bringing Sega's console onto a level playing field, Special Champion Edition also debuted with the Mega Drive six button control pad, considered by many to be a superior controller to the default SNES controllers.

Both consoles would see the huge upgrade, Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, though neither console would see its Turbo (X in Japan) update.

Special Champion Edition has since been re-released as part of the Wii's Virtual Console service.
