Crazy Taxi 2 was released solely on Dreamcast early in 2001 and is part of the Crazy Taxi series. It has a host of new features over CT1, including two new cities, "Around Apple" and "Small Apple", both somewhat based on New York City. The new cities have four new drivers as default, and you can also play as the CT1 drivers, bringing the total to eight. One gameplay addition is multiple pickups, which enable the player to carry multiple passengers and bring them to different locations. The draw to multiple pickups is that all trick-based tip amounts are multiplied by the amount of passengers in the car. A downside is that their time requirements are often more difficult than regular pickups. CT2 also implements the new "cab jump" feature, which allows the player to jump over certain surfaces to save time. This sequel includes a modified soundtrack with punk rock bands The Offspring and Methods Of Mayhem. There is an internet-based highscore board, and a replay ability. One of the most unique aspects of the game is the "Crazy Pyramid", which features minigames like CT1's "Crazy Box" and includes:
- Crazy Jump 2
- Crazy Golf
- Crazy Hurdle

- Crazy Balloons 2
- Crazy Ramps
- Crazy Road
- Crazy Turn 2
- Crazy Jam 2
- Crazy Rush 2
- Crazy Drop
