I played nearly every Sonic game the Game Gear had to offer (with Tail's Adventure and Sonic Drift 1 & 2 being the exceptions), and this one was my favorite by far. I think it came the closest to replicating the Genesis Sonic titles, but it seemed just a tad bit easier to beat than the other GG Sonics. Not that that was such a bad thing though, as the Chaos Emerald "mini-games" added a lot more difficulty and replay value to this excellent game.
