You might as well summarize it:
Objects can't be easily added OR deleted because you're only editing what already exists in the ROM. You can't easily change positions of other data because that would break other dependencies which rely on particular data being in a particular place.

That makes sense. But I just look around the Sonic 2 docs and found out that everything has a pointer (I guess I didn't know what those were before). So that gives freedom to make an area as big as you need as long as you update those pointers. I'm you can add level data and sprites from other sonic games with this much in mind. Wow, all along I thought modifying roms left you crammed in a small area that you can't make bigger or smaller. Object porting doesn't sound easy (I don't know how to add a new pointer to the area of existing ones yet) but its interesting how Sega has managed to fit so much into such a tiny rom. But I don't think the emulators would be picky disk cspace isn't as precious as chip size. I'm guessing that S&K's header had pointers to direct the Sonic 3 cart at the end to be used, hmm.
