In the Game Gear version, all of the bosses are made harder by the smaller screen resolution. Doodlebug Mecha is the most famous example - with less of the playfield visible, it is much harder to avoid the silver balls as they bounce down the slope. This is exacerbated when using a real Game Gear, as the screen doesn't lend itself well to fast moving objects.
On the Game Gear, the heads-up display is removed when fighting a boss.

The boss area for Mecha Pig was adjusted for the Game Gear's resolution, with its movements matched to suit. Like all the bosses, however, the lack of physical space to move and screen visibility makes it a more difficult opponent on the Game Gear.
