Starting Sonic Pocket Adventure. Immediately impressed with how much better visibility is vs. the only other handheld Sonic game I played - Sonic 2 on Game Gear. That was a Master System port and it was absolutely criminal how unplayable it was because you can't see where you're going, can't maneuver around the first boss, etc. What a mess. This is clearly a step up. I wish there was tracking of found/total puzzle pieces for each level in-game. Even other games were doing that at the time I think.

Man they sure tuned the ring quotas in the Special Stages pretty tight. This has been commented on before but yeah - even if you don't get hit by any mines, you'd better be trending WELL ahead of the early checkpoints if you want a hope of getting the emerald.

So have any of you maniacs gotten all of the puzzle pieces?

But yes, besides the above-mentioned issues, it's a lovely Sonic game!
