Good port, but there are some problems. The controls seem to have somehow gotten worse throughout updates. Sometimes the controls just stop working for a moment when I try to change direction. This doesn't happen when using a real controller. My Galaxy S23 has a pretty wide aspect ratio. As a result, foreground objects pop in from the right of the screen when walking in that direction which isn't supposed to happen. It's especially noticeable in Star Light Zone. Sonic 2 has the same issue.

2 issues: Ads. Everytime I boot up the game or exit there's an ad. And this is an offline game, why do I have to use internet to play!? Also I am NOT paying for ads. Another issue is WHY IS THE RESTART BUTTON ALWAYS GREYED OUT!? JUST LET ME RESTART THE LEVEL! It ESPESSIALLY sucks when I'm trying to get super sonic on a level then I get hit and lose all of my rings and I have to EXIT AND DO ALL OF THE DEBUG MODE THINGAMAJIGS!!! Just make the restart button available at all times.

Disclaimer: I bought no ads instantly before I even played a level. I do not have any experience with the free version's ads. This game is awesome. It always has been. But this version is something else. You see, it's not emulated. It is rebuilt from the ground up. Therefore it has some awesome new features. Examples include: Playing as Tails, Knuckles, and Sonic+Tails; Being in widescreen, and more! Sonic also works really well on mobile! I have not run into any problems. Highly recommend!
