Master System Game Gear to Master System ports?

[Ikagura Ikagura]

I know that Ristar Gamegear had a patch to make it work on the Master System but I'm wondering if there were Japanese/Brazilian exclusive ports to the 8-bits home console as well as hacks because I find the screen crunch sometimes hard to stand.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Game Gear version ported to Master System in Brazil by TecToy)
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (Brazilian Master System version based on Game Gear)
Mortal Kombat 3 (Brazil-exclusive Master System version, heavily based on Game Gear)
Earthworm Jim (Brazil-only Master System release, derived from Game Gear)
Street Fighter II (infamous TecToy Master System version, built off Game Gear assets)

Sonic Blast also got a Master System port by TecToy.

I know I should've asked it before but how could I add that romhack

To the repository since it's a GG2SMS game I like.

Sonic Triple Trouble also got a GG2SMS port:

Oh good. Hope Sonic Chaos would get the same treatment to complete the 8-bits Tetralogy.

Sonic Chaos already got an SMS port.

Sonic Chaos already got an SMS port.

My bad. I'm often confused about what got a SMS port or not when it comes to Sonic games.

On the other hand I am not sure Phantasy Star Adventure nor Gaiden could get ported.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Game Gear version ported to Master System in Brazil by TecToy)

Didnt both versions release at once AND by Sega themselves?

Another one is Virtua Fighter: The Animation. The 8-bit VF game got a Brazilian Master System port, making it one of the very few fighting games for the system.

That’s what I thought too, yeah. The Master System was still alive in all regions when it came out. Sonic 1 even came out in the U.S. on the Master System, being the final game in the region for the console.

But didnt Sonic 2 and Sonic chaos also release on the Master system and by Sega itself aswell?

What about the game gear power rangers, Jr troopers, anime, and other game gear RPGs on the master system?

You could always try GG2SMS but results may vary. Luckily fans did already for a bunch of titles, but patching them is a little complicated.

I should bless GG2SMS for existing. It's the Sega equivalent of the DX romhacks for Gameboy games, giving a new life to them.

there's also a rom hack of Tails Adventure for Game Gear called Tails Kicks Ass which also has a GG2SMS mod.

Some are okay, but the degradation of colors only makes it worth it in text heavy games cause is easier to read stuff in a TV Screen.

As a general rule the Game Gear version tends to be better.

Actually that makes no sense the first Sonic game actually did have an actual non TecToy Master System version, Why would they make a second port?

The last Sonic one by Sega themselves was Mean Bean Machine, at least in the USA. Of course it was basically harder Puyo Puyo.
