The Power Pad Plus is a third-party controlled for the Sega Mega Drive, created by Champ. It is a three button controller with turbo features, though unlike its predecessor, the Power Pad, it gives the user more control over turbo speeds and doesn't force users to hold down buttons to enable the turbo features. There are also built-in LEDs.
At the present time, it is only assumed that Champ developed this controller. Similar designs have been spotted with other branding, and it may also be related to the Professional Control Pad, which is strikingly similar to this controller. In the US, Electronics Boutique carried their own-brand version of this product called the Score Pad. It was released in Taiwan as the Super Man Joystick.
