Intro:
Sonic's first major game on a non-Sega system, Sonic Pocket Adventure was released on the ill-fated Neo Geo Pocket Color.

Story:
Dr. Eggman is causing trouble! Sonic must stop him, I assume.

The Game:
Pocket Adventure plays like a remix of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and 3, with zone designs and general styles taken from the old Mega Drive titles. The special stages even implement the 'half pipe' method used in Sonic 2. Hidden throughout the stages are several jigsaw puzzle pieces, which unlock extra features.

The game has three 'rooms'. The first room is the 'trial room', the standard time trial option. In the 'puzzle room' you arrange the puzzle pieces you have found throughout the game. The 'duel room' is the game's multiplayer mode, where two people can link the systems (the second player controlling Sonic's trusty sidekick Tails), and race through the levels.
