Game Gear version

A lot of the scenery in Green Hill Zone was adjusted for the Game Gear. Flowers are slightly different, trees are shorter, and ring placements differ for reasons unknown.

The Game Gear version is keen on adding lots of little signs to guide players. This one helpfully points out Green Hill has hills.

Act 3

Master System version

Game Gear version

The Game Gear plays host to the worst Sonic the Hedgehog boss in history. Eggman's vertical position is reduced, so while on the Master System you're forced to wait until Eggman starts attacking to hit him, on the Game Gear he's always within range, so you just need to jump. This is the opposite of most Game Gear bosses throughout the series, where the reduced space usually means quicker reaction times are needed.
