Sega Dev: "Hey guys, you know what this game needs?"
Level Designer: "..oh no."
Sega Dev: "Blind jumps."
Level Designer: "But.. we're porting this to Game Gear.."
Sega Dev: "Involving springs...."
Level Designer: "Why do you hate our players..."
Sega Dev: "That are pixel perfect!"
Level Designer: "This is to get people to destroy their Game Gears in rage isn't it."
Sega Dev: "Money money money."
And that's the story of how this Zone was developed.
So, you subscribed for Sonic videos? Here's to a video series for one of the hardest Sonic games created. This is Sonic 2 on the Game Gear.
Perfect Running seems to be the best of both worlds in regards to boss running and Let's Playing.
It forces me to learn the games to a heightened level and get good at it whilst maintaining the comedic aspects of the Let's Play. This will be followed up with Outakes of some baffling mistakes and things not otherwise shown in an actual run.
MUSIC USED:
Sonic Pocket Adventure - Continue Screen
Total Distortion - Game Over - You Are Dead
Sonic CD Euro-Japanese - Introduction - You Can Do Anything
Sonic CD 2011 - Introduction You Can Do Anything Instrumental
Sonci CD Euro-Japanese - Ending - Cosmic Eternity

These are the music tracks for the pre-fortress stage content we do not consider spoilers by their very existence.. except maybe one, but.... You will also see out of context shots of these stages.
Music in this video done by Mike Crain. In-game it is called Remastered, was created in Famitracker using the Sunsoft 5B and Namco n163 chips; and it is, to quote Mike:
A total remake from the ground up of my original OST I made back
in 2011, all the while trying to respect the original
compositions as much as possible.
Plus new tracks for the expanded content.
Since its a remastering of the original OST, it sounds pretty different to a Capcom OST.
There is also a 2A03 version of the soundtrack which can be considered closer to a Mega Man NES OST, and is a collaboration between multiple musicians, and is a combination of remixes from the original game and new tracks made at the musicians discretion.
That will be uploaded at a later date. There are still a few gaps in the OST that need filling first.
I personally dont have a favourite. I think Mikes OST sets the mood better in spots, but the 2A03 has a fair selection of great takes on the music and some of the original stuff is superb.
Kind of like Sonic CD for me, I might just swap between these two on alternative playthroughs.
There is also a SNES style version of the OST that follows the N163 pretty closely. Its pretty good, (the particularly atmospheric tracks really shine here) but I still prefer the N163 one over that version overall.
