As are the score cards, although the lack of space means "Continues" are reduced to "Conti'" and multiplier info is cut in the Game Gear version. Collected Chaos Emeralds are displayed on all score cards in the Master System version, whereas the Game Gear version relegates them to Special Stage score cards. The maximum number of Continues the game can display is also halved from eight to four.
