The [[Sega Master System]] failed to make a dent in the Japanese and North American markets, but [[Sega]]'s distributor [[Tectoy]] made it count in Brazil, thanks to limited competition from Nintendo. The Master System was also a success in Europe, but by the time the [[Sega Mega Drive]] came along it was starting to be phased out in favour of the superior console. In Brazil, this wasn't the case, and Tectoy still produce Master Systems to this day to complement their Mega Drive rereleases.
 
  
Brazil saw many exclusive versions of the Sega Master System, all of which were released by Tectoy. This page documents them all. It does not include the ''[[Master System Super Compact]]'' series, the ''[[Master System Girl]]'' or the ''[[Master System Handy]]'', or any of the non-cartridge based machines.

==Master System==
+
Brazil saw many exclusive versions of the Sega Master System, all of which were released by Tec Toy. This list does not include the ''[[Master System Super Compact]]'', ''[[Master System Girl]]'', ''[[Master System Handy]]'' or any of the non-cartridge based machines. The last of these consoles to include a cartridge slot was the "yellow" 2006 edition of the Master System 3 Collection which contains "120" games - its [[Master System 3 Collection (2007)|2007 counterpart with 151 games]] is not included in this list as cartridge support was removed.
Tec Toy's first [[Sega Master System]] was simply known as the "Master System", and all future hardware and software would retain this naming scheme. Being released later than its North American and European counterparts, Tec Toy had the benefit of being albe to distribute more enhanced models during the first production run. Their first package consequently contained two [[Controller (Master System)|controllers]], and the console had ''[[Hang On]]'' and ''[[Safari Hunt]]'' built-in (as well as the secret game, ''[[Snail Maze]]''). Oddly the packaging design shows a pair of [[3-D Glasses]] and a [[Light Phaser]], despite the fact that neither were included in the bundle.
 
  
Though the shape and size of the units are almost identical to its North American and European counterparts, Tec Toy Master Systems have a number of aesthetic differences. The grey/white text on the left hand side of the unit simply reads "Master System" (rather than "Sega Power Base"), and all the printed text has been translated into Portuguese. The controllers also substitute the Sega logo for a Tec Toy one, and lack the hole in the centre of the D-Pad for thumbstick attachments (these would eventually become the most common Master System controller after their inclusion in North American and European Sega Master System II bundles).

==Master System 3D==

| name=Master System
Essentially the same as the above release, Tectoy bundled in a ''[[Missile Defense 3D]]'' cartridge so that people would be inspired to use the 3D glasses, the only problem being the 3D glasses were still not bundled with the console. ''Hang On'', ''Safari Hunt'' and ''Snail Maze'' are still built-in.

==Master System II (with ''[[Alex Kidd in Miracle World]]'')==
+
 
The same console, but now given an extra "II". Similar to Tectoy's Mega Drive II, the Master System II looks identical to a Master System I, but has a slight logo change on the unit. It shipped with one controller, and ''[[Alex Kidd in Miracle World]]'' is the only built-in game.

The redesigned Master System II console seen elsewhere in the world was brought to Brazil under the name of "Master System III Compact". The photos of peripherals not included with the console were removed and the console saw a price drop. It is also the first console to acknowledge Sega on the front of the box.

==Master System III Compact (wiith [[Light Phaser]] and ''[[Bart vs. the World]]'')==
+
==Uruguay==
For one reason or another, Tectoy decided to scrap the "III Compact" from the box title, though this can still be found on the unit itself. This package came with ''[[Bart vs. the World]]'' on cartridge, and interestingly, a [[Light Phaser]] (the rarer blue model). Also returning is ''Hang On'' and ''Safari Hunt'' as built in games, and ''Snail Maze'' can be activated through the BIOS.

| name=Master System III Compact
With a new logo comes a new set of Master Systems, this time with a bigger emphasis on built-in games. Their first release in the "Master System III Collection" has 74-built in games. Though almost identical in shape to the Master System III compact (and Master System II in other territories), the system has now been coloured white, given a Tec Toy logo and been paired with a set of black [[Sega Mega Drive]] six button controllers (which of course are compatible with the Master System). Tectoy would keep bundling six button controllers with further Master System releases, despite the fact none of the bundled games needed that many buttons.

Tectoy are bending the truth with these numbers. Though there are ''technically'' 74 games here, there are a couple of compilations such as ''[[20 em 1]]'' which are being counted as twenty games instead of one.

Brazil

The Sega Master System failed to make a dent in the Japanese and North American markets, but Sega's distributor Tec Toy made it count in Brazil, thanks to limited competition from Nintendo. The Master System was also a success in Europe, but by the time the Sega Mega Drive came along it was starting to be phased out in favour of the superior console. In Brazil, this wasn't the case, and Tec Toy still produce Master Systems to this day to complement their Mega Drive re-releases.

Brazil saw many exclusive versions of the Sega Master System, all of which were released by Tec Toy. This list does not include the Master System Super Compact, Master System Girl, Master System Handy or any of the non-cartridge based machines. The last of these consoles to include a cartridge slot was the "yellow" 2006 edition of the Master System 3 Collection which contains "120" games - its 2007 counterpart with 151 games is not included in this list as cartridge support was removed.
