Road Rash is a 2000 racing and vehicular combat game developed by 3d6 Games and published by Electronic Arts (EA) for the Game Boy Color. The game is centered around a series of motorcycle races throughout the United States that the player must win to advance to higher-difficulty races, while engaging in unarmed and armed combat to hinder the other racers. It is the second installment in the Road Rash series and introduces a split-screen two-player mode for competing human players, nitrous oxide charges on certain bikes, and chains as offensive weapons.

Road Rash puts the player in control of a motorcycle racer who must finish in third place or higher among fourteen other racers; the player advances throughout the game’s five levels by winning five races on each level. The game’s races take place in a number of settings across the United States, consisting of Hawaii, Arizona, Tennessee, Alaska, and Vermont. During a race, the racer can brake, accelerate, and attack neighboring opponents.

The racer will punch at the nearest opponent with a default input, while holding a directional button during the input will result in either a backhand or a kick. Some opponents wield weapons such as clubs and chains, which can be taken and used by the racer if the opponent is attacked as they are holding the weapon out to strike. The racer can be ejected from their bike if they crash into an obstacle (such as boulders, cars, deer and cows) or if they run out of stamina (shown in the bottom-left corner of the screen) due to fights with opponents.

In this event, the racer will automatically run back toward their bike, though the player can alter their course and avoid incoming traffic with the directional buttons, or stand still by holding the brake input button. Opponents will likewise be ejected from their bike if their own stamina is depleted. The stamina of the nearest opponent is visible within the bottom-right corner of the screen, and the color of both stamina meters change from green to red as they deplete.
