I've given more thought on this "Naugus in Sonic Shuffle" idea.

If I made Sonic Shuffle, Maginaryworld would be a realm of magic instead of dreams. (My headcanon is that Nightopia is the dreamworld of both Sonic's world and it's own, so another dream world is not needed.) This way Maginaryworld would serve as game-canon equivilent to the Zone of Silence. Illumina could be Naugus enemy given she represents light magic while Ixis Naugus is a dark wizard. He wants the Precioustones because they are the very source of all magic.

I imagine that day at Sega's offices, Isao Okawa or Peter Moore, whoever was in charge notices how popular Mario Party games were and decided to go with it for Sonic despite the fact board games are not Sonic's style. While Sonic Shuffle was a flop, if my version was made, this would give Naugus a window of oppotunity to move onto game canon. Such as finding ways out of Maginaryworld and using Chaos Emeralds to amplify his magic.

No point me lamenting "coulda, woulda" in projects I had nothing to do with in 2000.
