Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis

Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, a remake of the original Sonic the Hedgehog was released for the Game Boy Advance in November 2006 as part of the celebrations of the original game's 15th anniversary. It includes a new save feature and a special "Anniversary Mode" featuring the Spin-Dash move that was added in later games. In addition, the view is slightly zoomed in and adapted for the GBA's widescreen aspect ratio, and the level select and debug codes have been left out, the former due to the fact that there is already a zone select screen. Despite the popularity of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis is widely considered to be very poor, due to the high amount of lag, poorly-remixed sound, broken physics and numerous other glitches, including the collision detection and slow frame rate. It should also be noted that some game stores don't sell this game anymore because of the poor reviews and negative news about it. However, the title is quite readily available in most "big box retailers'" bargain bins.
