	What if...... - =SSMB=
		When He and Yuji Naka got into an argument on what direction the series would take, Naoto left to make his own development studio.
		Iizuka would probably keep trying to persuade Ohshima to make a game where Shadow goes emo gangsta and packs heat until Ohshima couldn't take it anymore and leaves like Naka did just recently.
		Both Naka and Ohshima left anyway, everyone from the original SONICTEAM left, and now the series is in the hands of these new guys.

		It's unlikely Mighty will return if the rumor that his creator left Sega and took the copyrights with him is true.
		Ohshima was responsible for most of the concept characters prior to Sonic's creation, so he may have sketched out that armadillo Sonic was up against.
		If this rumor was plausible, then that would make Sonic non-existent since Naoto Ohshima could've taken the copyrights to Sonic with him.

		The hedgehog won, and Ohshima went forth with that idea to create one of the most beloved videogame heroes of all time.
