Tails is captured at a different time of day in the introduction sequence. On the Game Gear, Eggman swoops down and captures Tails, while on the Master System he has already been caught. The music for Scrambled Egg Zone plays during this cutscene, while the music that played here in the Master System version is used for the title screen.
