MSX2 version
The game's levels are arranged similarly to classic Sonic games: Of the 4 'zones', each is divided into 3 'acts'. The first zone has a grassland theme, as in most Sonic games. The second is a cavern that remains frozen despite the numerous magma rivers flowing through it. The third zone is an ancient ruins type level filled with sand, stone, and waterfalls. The final zone takes place in a forest that is similar to Wood Zone, one of the levels cut from Sonic 2. There are also bonus stages, visited after defeating the guardian of each zone, which feature letter blocks resembling children's toys and in which the player has 60 seconds to collect as many stars as possible.
Gameboy Advance version
This version's first level was originally believed to be unbeatable. This has been proven to be false. However, due to this, savestates for the emulator Boycott Advance were created to grant players access to other levels. So far, savestates have been created for the ruins and wood levels, courtesy of Stealth. The graphics are glitched when using Visual Boy Advance, so it is best to use Boycott Advance.
