'''''GP-1: Part II''''', known in Japan as {{nihongo foot|'''''GP-1 RS: Rapid Stream''''',|ＧＰ－１ ラピッドストリーム|group=lower-alpha|lead=yes}} is a [[motorcycle]] [[racing video game|racing game]] developed by [[Genki (company)|Genki]] and published by [[Atlus]] for the [[SNES]], which was released in 1994. It is a sequel to ''[[GP-1]]''.

==Gameplay==
[[Image:Gp1rs.PNG|thumb|left|Screenshot showing the gameplay.]]
In ''GP-1 Part II'', players must control a motorcycle, making turns without leaving the track. The game features three game modes: "GP Race" which is present along with a "Practice" and "Race" mode, "Time Attack" which is a race against the clock, and "Vs Battle" which is a standard two player competitive mode. AI racers do not compete in "Vs Battle" mode.

The Japanese version uses a battery-backed save, while the North American version uses a [[Password (video games)|password save]].

GP Race mode is a kind of career/season mode, where the player competes to earn a place on the podium. The Japanese version begins with a qualifying round in Japan (United States in the Western version, although the tracks are the same as in the Japanese version), consisting of four local tracks, followed by the GP-1 World Championship (featuring all 14 circuits of the real-life [[1994 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season]]). At the Japanese qualifying round there are only three available motorcycles. In the world championship another three motorcycles are available.

In the world championship, the player races against racers from around the world in 14 tracks. Rival racers will intimidate and challenge the player to bet a few bucks on which one will finish the race ahead of the other, but betting is optional. The money earned from rivals or winning races can be used to upgrade the motorcycle. Earning enough points will let the player obtain better parts for their bike.

==Reception==
In their review, ''[[GamePro]]'' commented that though ''GP-1 Part II'' features some improvements over the original, such as more tracks, it drops many of the touches that made the original a standout game, making it an overall decent but nondescript title with nothing to make consumers choose it over the many other racing games on the market.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=ProReview: GP-1 Part II|magazine=[[GamePro]]|issue=69 |publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG]]|date=April 1995|page=67}}</ref>
