Save for some slight text adjustments, the introduction is the same for both Sega

versions. While the higher screen resolution means more of the swirling effect can be seen on the Master System, it tends to get cut off by the system's sprite limit.

Every level on the Game Gear has been adjusted to fit the smaller screen, but while this can mean the shortening (or removal) of platforms, the essence of the level remains. Unfortunately the delay between levels is not changed, meaning on the Game Gear, it becomes very easy to collect any remaining items on screen (therefore defeating the point of what should be a last minute rush).

The Game Gear also resets the music after every round, rather than having the continuous theme heard in the Master System version (and most other ports of the game).
