It's vitally important to preserve the Sega Master System version of this game as I've only ever seen the inferior Game Gear version brought forward by Sega in collections.

Playing this game for the first time via Sonic Mega Collection Plus was an unforgettable experience, no doubt about that. Even though I'd never gotten far, I knew that someday, I would.

This game is great. I love how the emeralds are scattered across the stages instead of special stages, this incentives exploration which is a major point of Sonic. There are so many special things about this game but it keep it short: bridge zone theme.
