The '''''Sonic the Hedgehog'' Game Gear prototype''' is a one level demo version of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' for the [[Sega Game Gear]]. It was sent to demonstrate the game to the gaming press. The process of porting the game from the Master System version is incomplete, which is evident for a number of reasons.

===Startup===
 
*There is no Sega Logo in the beginning, just like the Master System version.
 
*Sonic is placed further right at level startup.
 
*Sonic's palette changes to a darker blue when passing the end level sign.
 
*A strange strip appears at the top of the level briefly, probably a glitch as touching it does nothing.
 
*The Invincibility stars are more similar to the Master System version. The final game has 4 stars.
 
*Sonics sprite has not yet been finalized.
 
*The map layout is slightly different than any version.
 
*Game over screen is messed up due to some tile rearrangement.
 
*The mountain range has a similar hue to the Master System version.

The Sonic the Hedgehog Game Gear prototype is a demo version of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Game Gear. It was compiled to demonstrate the Game Gear port to the gaming press.

This is a very simple prototype, containing just the first Act of Green Hill Zone, which plays on a loop. It shares more in common with the Sega Master System version of the game than the final Game Gear version, having not yet been optimised for the smaller display. Despite this, it is a fully functional, albeit short, version of the game.

Other levels are accessible through hacking, but as the art has been removed for other Zones, most crash upon startup.
