* HilariousInHindsight: The ScreenCrunch caused by the smaller screen in the Game Gear version ends up making the first boss much easier than in the Master System version. [[note]]In the first boss fight, Robotnik flies across the top of the screen in his Egg Mobile and periodically lowers the vehicle to the ground to charge at Sonic. In the Master System version, this was your only chance to attack, but the Game Gear version allows you to hit him at any time and defeat him ''before he can even attack''.[[/note]] In [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog28Bit the next 8-bit game]], ScreenCrunch would make the first boss much ''harder'', to the point of it being ThatOneBoss.

* ThatOneSidequest: Most of the six Chaos Emeralds are fairly easy to find and get (although the Sky Base Emerald [[GuideDangIt hides the platforms leading to it in a rather obtuse way]]) but the Labyrinth Zone Emerald presents a nasty little challenge in the Master System version--it's hidden in a bed of spikes very close to the end of Act 2, and you have to use an invincibility monitor to get it. Thing is, the pit's spread out fairly far away from the nearest monitor, the pathway is underwater and there's a vertical tunnel leading to it that you have to rush through with no slip ups, leaving you just barely enough time to grab it before your invincibility wears off. If you fail, you have to deliberately lose a life to get another shot at getting the Emerald. The Game Gear port rectifies this by just putting the Emerald near the end of the stage, unobstructed and in plain sight for you to grab, since the water in that port slows you down so much more that it would've make the aforementioned challenge unwinnable if it were left intact.

* FirstInstallmentWins: This game is much nearer an outright example of this trope than the 16-bit version, as 8-bit ''Sonic 2'' and ''VideoGame/SonicChaos'' certainly have their fans, but aren't as well-remembered as the first 8-bit game due to the market mostly having moved onto 16-bit consoles by the time they came out. Similarly, ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogTripleTrouble'' is regarded as easily the best of the Game Gear entries, but wasn't released until Sega had largely given up supporting the system.
* NightmareFuel: Labyrinth Zone. This rendition is downright ''dark''. Worse yet, the boss is fought not only entirely underwater (slowing Sonic down) but also during the era in which [[OneHitPointWonder you had no rings for boss fights]].
* OlderThanTheyThink: The auto-scrolling levels in ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'' were derided for being out-of-place and painfully slow for the standards of a ''Sonic'' game. There has been one example of an auto-scrolling level in a ''Sonic'' game dating as far back as this game in the form of Bridge Zone Act 2.

* ThatOneBoss: The Master System Jungle Zone boss is the most irritating boss fight in the game, due to how fast Eggman can drop the metal balls and how slippery the platform you move on is. And remember, you have no rings in the boss encounters, so one slip up will leave you dead. On top of that, the vine platform is above a pit, and its a tricky jump to get over to the area with the capsule, [[KaizoTrap so you can still die even after you defeated Eggman]]. The Game Gear port, in contrast, keeps Robotnik just low enough to where you can easily hit him and defeat him just seconds after the fight begins.
* ThatOneLevel: Jungle Zone Act 2 in the Master System version. Unlike the Game Gear port, the vertical oriented stage is subject to RatchetScrolling, which forces you to be very careful with your platforming since one slip up can mean falling to your death.
