My favourite Sonic game on my Game Gear and I can still see why.
Starts off very easy but chucks you in with cool looking enemies, class music and interesting new power ups like jet boots from the go.
The game hits a big difficulty spike in Act 2 of Mecha Green Hill Zone due to death pits and the slight slipperiness of Sonic.

I didn't manage to get all the Emeralds this time around but the gimmick this time being collect 100 rings, get teleported to what I would call a trial stage and get through that is fun.

Probably the most comfortable Sonic game for GameGear, definitely at a point where the devs had learned what works in 8 bit over 16 and what helps on handheld.
