Myself 123 wrote: Mania may look like Mega Drive game aesthetically, but there's a lot more too it, for one the sprites are much more detailed and they do a Mode 7 thing when going around loop-de-loops (as in, they don't use sprites of Sonic moving in a diagonal, but rather rotate the sprite as it moves). These, and some other things, would make it unlikely to be able to run on a Mega Drive without a considerable downgrade. Judging by Mega Drives example of Mode 7 on YouTube, you're right. Actually putting Sonic Mania on Mega Drive would cripple it without one of the consoles add-ons to increase graphic potential.
