Further clues

#50 The bonus stages are for earning continues in this game my friend. If you want those precious jewels, you’ll have to scour the levels themselves.
The game doesn't really get to show off the attribute its star is known for. You'd need to play its namesake on more powerful hardware to get that fix.
You won't be zooming around multi faceted levels here. You're in for a more measured, traditional platform experience.

I'm thinking this is a Sonic game. Given how you mention "more powerful hardware", which makes me think Sonic doesn't run as fast as usual, so he doesn't get to show off. Plus Jewels and zooming around levels. Yeah, Sonic. I don't know much about the game because I never played that one, but I'm going with Sonic the Hedgehog (Master System).

Yep, you got it.

In this game, you have to find the Chaos Emeralds in the levels, rather than in the bonus stages on the Genesis version. And the levels here are mostly linear and have a greater focus on platforming. There's very few occasions where you get to hit top speed.
