(yo - can we get a separate entry for the MS/GG versions??? Different game lmao)
Does a Sonic 1 MS and redesigns the game entirely while preserving the fundamentals. The big tradeoff is that the MD version's Wonderland vibe has been heavily subdued, but in exchange the speed is much peppier and has more overtly-designed levels. Gameplay has lots of Capcom-esque beats that challenge timing, puzzle-solving, moving objects around to act as platforms or environmental triggers - hell, one of the bosses is just Yellow Devil ! :O
I think both the Genesis and Master System games are a good case study for the difference between passive/organic design and systems-driven design. Someday, I'd love to write a studied essay about the differences between them, and their role across different generations and sub-cultures of gaming

No I do not plan on fixing this issue.
understandable have a day of indiscriminate quality
genesis version is goated
it sucks when they change the pages after they've become established too, the new NES page for Ninja Gaiden only has like 20-ish plays because IGDB changed the existing NES page to the Arcade version lol. I'm still meaning to play the GG version, its the only one I haven't played yet :)
Not sure if it's old news but there is now a separate page for the 8 bit version of this game.
