to the creation of Sonic Mania - there was
talk of another port, but Iizuka thought fans would desire something new from the old games - this is the first time Iizuka partnered with a team of devs spread

to Mania as a test, but ended up staying for the final game - the team felt the need
to continuously connect stages from various eras, which is doe with the Phantom Ruby story - for Sonic Mania, it was decided that the technological limit would be set at SEGA CD, - this is higher than the Genesis but lower than Saturn - in creating a SEGA CD - grade special stage, they would intentionally make SEGA CD - grade polygons
