Is rail grinding (or even a simple mimicry of it) possible in a Genesis style game?

I'm wanting to make a Genesis style game but with the rail grinding that has become a staple of the series since its debut in Adventure. I've seen it replicated in the Flash game but I understand that there are further limitations on Genesis-type fangames. Thank you all in advance.

Sure. There might be limitations with the original hardware, but I see no reason to exclude it. Some purists might be offended, but that's their problem.

Heck, there was even some form of rail grinding for classic Sonic in Generations. It's not like even Sonic Team would exclude it.

Also, check out the Advance games (on the GBA). They have some similarities to the classic games but feature some much more modern Sonic features and move sets.
