@hiimsupersonic I think he is talking about those sprites too. The sprites that are supposed to line up with each other such as the walking and standing sprites don't line up.

Font

@Sonico415797 Doesn't always work out that way...

It just depends on the game. It might work but if it was ripped from a tile viewer and J,Q,X,Z aren't there, then they aren't there. Many games don't even have text in the ROM to replace the message as the letters are stored by tiles or a letter is made up of tiles and usually compressed too if we're talking about SNES. Some games just don't include the entire font because either it doesn't need it, not enough room in the ROM, the letter wasn't made or hindsight. Sonic 1 title cards being infamous for this (why Clock Work Zone became Scrap Brain Zone because no W was made in the font).

Older games most of the time don't use a licensed font like they mostly do now. The graphic artists or even the programmer make their own fonts, sometimes inspired by actual fonts. They might use the system font as in the case of the home computers (Spectrum, Amstrad CPC), it might be part of the development kit like why you see a certain font used by a developer like the Capcom CPS1/Konami MSX and NES/Taito arcade/Compile or just use the Atari/Namco font.

Even though I absolutely suck at Mega Man games, I still like the series. I just watch people play the games on YouTube.

When I say I suck at the Mega Man games, I mean get-my-ass-handed-to-me suck. Mostly because half the enemies are really small and hard to hit, and every time Mega Man gets hit, he gets knocked backwards. Heck, I never even made it to the boss battles 😅

Game:
Phantasy Star 2

This game is notoriously poorly balanced and has myriad bugs. The graphical palettes seem to match what would have been possible on the master system moreso than those that would be the norm for the GenMD for most of its library. (Flat grays do not frequently appear in GenMD games and most games on the system use a lot of gradients, while PSII mostly sticks to simple flat colors that would have likely been very similar on Master System. Compare to PSIII and PSIV then to PSI on Master System and note the trends.)

“1993 Phantasy Star II Developer Interview.” GSLA. (n.d.). Web. 1 Jan. 2018.
Hayashida: Phantasy Star II was originally planned for the Sega Master System, as a direct sequel to Phantasy Star. Later it was decided it would be released on the Megadrive, so we had to rework all our plans. Despite that huge change, we only had a half year to finish the game, a real oppressive schedule.

“Phantasy Star 1993 Developer’s Interview.” (n.d.). Web. 9 Aug. 2017. (Could not find a full transcript)
Naka: For Phantasy Star II, I wanted to do the 3D dungeon as well; however, no matter how hard I tried, the capacity for the Genesis cartridge was limited, and there were only two and a half months for the development period.

I'm willing to bet Hayashida was being slightly general about having half a year rather than 2.5 months, and its likely that he was including some of the dev time from before the switch as well. Other comments mention that they had 3 different people working on art assets at the time, which also explains why some of the art looks different in style and quality, though not drastically.

The extremely clipped development time is the reason for the game's dungeons all being a chaotic mess. There wasn't enough time to think about how best to lead players through a successive difficulty curve so they just made them all final dungeons with different level enemies in them. Also a comment from Naka that I could not source.

EDIT: I meant to mention that I doubt there was any "porting" done. Rather its very likely they were just forced to start over and salvage anything they could. This is not the only time this happened at Sega, and it would later happen with the NES-SNES and SNES-N64, N64-GCN over at nintendo.
Also true of quite a few playstation games completely starting over without any release date extensions across multiple generations.
This just seems to be how the game industry works.

Sonic Classics 3 in 1

@SIG7Pro Not true at all...

Sonic 3 was February 1994 while this collection was around August 1995 (it came out in PAL regions before the US, the US got it as late as 1997 when the Genesis died). It was a Sega Europe thing as it shares the same menus as the various Mega Games 6, the collection with Altered Beast, Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Flicky and Gunstar Heroes (yep!).

Besides it would have cost Sega too much to have a cartridge that had Sonic 1, 2, 3&K and I don't think 6MB cartridges existed at the time for it to be possible (Super Street Fighter 2 was 5MB, considered the largest until homebrew and the Mortal Kombat Trilogy hack came along).

Rayman

I've only just noticed that Dark Rayman's expressions aren't actually the same as Rayman's, with the more obvious changes being his eyes are always looking angry, but there's also more subtle ones such as having a more pronounced scowl in the "Panic" expression; it's small touches like that that make you really appreciate the work the artists did to breathe as much life into the game as possible
