Gatekeeping pertains to people, not things. If you have a rock n' roll club you're allowed to say that "Happy Birthday" is not a rock n' roll song. That's different from saying "people who like the Happy Birthday song aren't allowed in the club", which is gatekeeping.


Now you are gatekeeping the concept of gatekeeping, incredible.

Funny you should say that, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 had a 2-player mode where you raced the other player to the end of the level.

And Sonic Team Racing is a thing, too.

But yes, I would not call the original Sonic game a racing game.
