Differences between the Mega Drive and Mobile versions
Sonic the Hedgehog Mobile closely mimics the Mega Drive version, but some features have been removed, most notably the Special Stage. Enemies no longer release small animals when defeated. Graphics have also been resized and the palette of flowers in Green Hill Zone is different. Some of the levels have minor tweaks, such as the removal of a see-saw from the Star Light Zone boss encounter, and the removal of a crusher from the Final Zone boss room.
Some things were added to the game to make it easier, such as unlimited continues and a save feature. A scoring system was also added and the top 5 scores will be saved, alternately they can be uploaded to an online high score ranking. Three levels of difficulty were also added: very easy, easy, and normal. Very easy mode is completely lacking of enemies and only the boss of the Zones are present.
There is a completely different HUD in this version. The top part has rings and time counters (which are almost identical to Sonic Advance 2), and the bottom part has the Life (1-up) image which shows a head from a frame in Sonic's idle animation (with the number of lives also using the Sonic Advance 2 font) with a Sonic The Hedgehog text to the right. The act card is also similar to Sonic the Hedgehog GBA.
