Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis
Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis is a Game Boy Advance port of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis, made in celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog series that has only been released in North America. Similar to the version on Sonic Jam, it features a save system, and includes the spin-dash ability from later Sonic titles available in a separate "Anniversary Mode", plus a "Classic Mode" lacking the Spin Dash.

Features
Although Anniversary Mode is there to celebrate Sonic's 15th, nothing has changed apart from the ported Spin Dash move. But there are some oddities with this:
The Spin Dash is programmed in a different way from classic Sonic games. Charging the Spin Dash is no longer an option. You can actually get the same amount of speed running and jumping forward.
If you charge a Spin Dash, let go and immediately jump without holding forward, Sonic will suffer from an excessive speed boost. This can be used to such great effect that jumping through solid walls and obstacles is possible.
The art for the Spin Dash is out of place. The "smoke" from the Spin Dash is several pixels away and seems to go into the floor on several occasions.
