    Default SMS snail maze question

    I thought I saw something about this posted a while back, but when I ran a search I couldn't find anything.

    How exactly does one bring up the Snail Maze game on the SMS? Do all models have it? Thanks for your help.
    I only need 2 more NES games (US)!

    I *think* it was something like hold up a + b when turning on the system

    Turn on your Sega Master System without a cart in it.

    When the SMS logo is appearing on the screen, hold the up direction on the D-pad, as well as both buttons, simultaneously.

    You may have to try a couple of times to get it right (when I tried it, my timing was a bit off, so Hang-On still appeared). If that happens, try again, you'll eventually make it work.

    I think that all early models of the SMS had it, but maybe not the later releases. Anyway, if Hang-On (with or without Safari Hunt) is your built-in game, you don't have to fret, the maze game is in there.

    no, you can have both, unless Sega has changed it at one point.

    I have the SMS with Hang-On built in, and I have no problem accessing the snail maze. My best friend has the SMS model with the built-in Hang-On and Safari Hunt, and she also has the snail maze.

    I was thinking of something: is it possible that there'd be differences between the Canadian and American models? ie. that the snail maze may still have been included in the Canadian version but not the American one? After all, the SMS was distributed in Canada by Irwin, not Tonka.

    The Safari Hunt/Hang On model I have does indeed have the Snail Maze game. I'm pretty sure it's the US model

    I heard there was one SMS with Alex Kidd on it maybe it was SMS2 because there so much God damn models of it.

    But you know built in games were a pretty good idea i mean sometimes you wanna buy a console but no good games out yet and you really don't want them and if u have a mother like me she'll say "you can't buy the system without buying a game now choose one."
    well for my N64 there was no game i really wanted and i got it when it just came out so i took diddy kong racing it was good but my second game was better Super mario 64 so i didnt have much time to complain about diddy crap racing
