A surprisingly decent Sonic clone that's really only held back by the fact that it's on Game Gear. As such, it suffers from screen crunch and dropped inputs (or at least what felt like dropped inputs consistently enough).

The character is surprisingly versatile for a GG standards- he can slide, wall jump, slide and power up a Wario-like shoulder barge that is more or less this game's spin dash. The visuals are also really good for the handheld.

There is an unofficial port to the Master System on SMSPower under their "hacks" section. I decided to try it out for myself on a Mega Everdrive and, for the most part, it works well. Better field of view with some glitched graphics as the tradeoff- especially in round 5. Just be sure to plug a second controller in, as "down" on its d-pad acts as the start button.
