Sonic Robo Blast 2 on the Sega 32X

The SRB2 engine is far more complex than Doom and with a lot more rendering features. In addition, the average SRB2 level is far more complex and expansive in terms of detail, layout, size, and logic compared to the original set of maps that comprised Doom (no FoF's or partial transparency outside of dithering for instance).
It is true that Doom was made to work on consoles, but if the 32X was anywhere like the SNES then Id would've actually had to downgrade the graphics compared to PC (the SNES version for instance was very low resolution and did not have textured floors or ceilings).
In short, no. Even if you found some magical optimization routines that allowed passable visuals for an SRB2 port, there is no way it would all fit into memory.

Good boi.
probably. It'd be really difficult, but probably.
probably not, not even the dreamcast can handle srb2 iirc

Good boi.
but if Scratch can handle it the 32X can, too.
scratch only has that one proof of concept project though. and still, believe it or not. scratch’s sb3s are still more advanced and bigger in file size than 32x files.

SRB2 is derivative of the DOOM engine but it is not the same thing anymore. It has become something far above and beyond the limitations of the original engine it was developed up from. It's kind of like saying that the Source Engine is developed up from GoldSrc and so a PC that can just barely run Half-Life should also be able to run Half-Life 2.

Good boi.
I feel the 32X could run a demake, though.

I mean technically there is a "port" of srb1 to the Megadrive so who knows, maybe someone could demake SRB2 TGF to run on a 32x and you technically have SRB2 on a 32X, albeit a very simple and old version.

One would have to write a new game engine for it to work but anything is possible

All evidence points to that being what they’ve done.
