    Rock solid platformer. Like Phrostbyte said Bridge Zones theme kicks ass. Final boss is a dick head though

    The Master System's version of Scrap Brain Zone is a lot better than the Mega Drive's Scrap Brain Zone.

    I remember disliking Sonic 1 on Genesis but playing this so much. I would've probably called it my favorite platformer back then, elegant in its simplicity. I thought people were nitpicking when they complained about this not making it into Sonic Origins, but it really is its own experience.

    For some reason I kinda like this more than Sonic 1 on Genesis. It's just a fun platformer that has some annoying moments here and there (I think made worse by the smaller screen of the Game Gear). Wish more people played this one.

    Nah this is definitely the superior game out of the two.

    Sonic on the Genesis pretends it's going to be all about going fast and just jumping, spinning, soaring through the levels, only to then immediately yank that away in Marble Zone, and it barely comes back in Spring Yard or Starlight... Scrap Brain is also a fucking mess, and oh god those special stages suuuuck

    Sonic on the Master System doesn't really hide the fact that it's a slower precision oriented platformer. Bridge and Jungle are fun additions, and Scrap Brain Zone is so much better in this version. And Sky Base is a great climax in general!

    Really my only complaint is that Labyrinth zone is somehow worse than on Genesis...

      insane take
    • LapnLook 2024-01-02 12:59:57.689403+00
      which version of this did you play? The Master System one is a genuinely good platformer
    • Joe_Kloos 2024-02-02 01:03:59.098672+00
      I did play the master system version. Still found it bad like all the other 8 bit games in the series.

      my insane take is that this game is mania equivelent in how much i enjoy it
