A version of the game, which was entitled Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, was released for the Game Boy Advance in November 2006 as part of the celebrations of the original game’s 15th anniversary. The game is a remake of the original game as opposed to a port. It includes a new save feature and a special “Anniversary Mode” featuring the Spin-Dash move that was added in later games. In addition, the view is slightly zoomed in and adapted for the GBA’s widescreen aspect ratio,and the level select and debug codes have been left out, the former due to the fact that there is already a zone select screen.[5] The reception was negative, as many reviewers criticized the game for its slow frame rate, music, and glitches — most called the game “unplayable.” Consumers have argued that while Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis was guilty of some glitches and slowdowns, there were not enough of them to earn the game an “unplayable” label. Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis is also widely considered by many Sonic fans to be one of the worst Sonic games ever, thanks to horrible lag, glitches, unfaihtful graphics and sound and poor production value.
