Still a hard task, though, since we'd have to circumvent the hardware-specific aspects of the code (in other words, ditch the MD VDP specific usage and adapt it to OCS, so a lot of trial and error should be expected). As I have stated above, the backdrops seem undoable on an OCS Amiga (maybe they can be done on AGA but not sure), though games like Elfmania and Mr. Nuts - Hoppin' Mad prove that in the hands of a gifted coder and of an apt graphic designer, the tired old OCS can still pack a punch or two.
Even so, I'm still quite sceptic about a proper Amiga version of Sonic the Hedgehog. I just don't see the current Amiga community pulling this off like the C64 one did.

Kid Chaos more than proves a decent attempt could be tried on ocs.
There will be compromises, but crucially, nothing that should affect gameplay.
But you're right, its a big endeavour, and its a big task for anyone to contemplate.
