I think they left it to fans' imaginations. Personally I thought the Mania devs put the Phantom Ruby at the start of Angel Island to imply it may have been the cause of Knuckles being able to overpower Super Sonic in Sonic 3. But Knuckles having a special connection to the emeralds also makes sense.
The first cutscene of Sonic Mania when playing as Sonic and Tails. The two of them stand at the beginning of Angel Island Zone Act 1 from Sonic 3, looking on as the Hard-Boiled Heavies extract the Phantom Ruby from the ground.

Me, waking up in a sweaty panic after having a nightmare about an edit war on whether the page should be called "Sega Genesis" or "Sega Mega Drive", realizing it's 1998 and the only digital encyclopedia I use is Encarta:
"Wikipedia was just a dream." says a yellow banner on a website. A picture of a man's head is shown above, probably Jimbo Wales.

Do you see this on your Settings page? Seems to imply Bluesky doesn't outright ban everything.

Sakurai lamented this for Brawl, saying that it was unfortunate that Olimar was the most recently-created franchise to have a playable representative.

It’s an incredible number of characters and a group of really well-known series. And to think that they all had their beginnings in Japan...wow! When they’re all lined up like this, it becomes obvious that there is roughly 6-year blank before and after Pikmin. While there have been big series since then like "Animal Crossing," "Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day," and "Wii Sports" it does seem that coming up with a completely new character-driven series has gotten more difficult recently.

Melee. It's trite, but:

(1) The jump from N64 to GCN was maybe the largest jump in graphical power that Nintendo ever made, and

(2) The comparison with the prior generation was an entire point of the game, with characters and locations from prior generations.

These games are 2 years apart.

Two screenshots from Pokémon Sun & Moon. The player character (probably male) stands at the foot of a bed twice as wide as it is deep, facing a cat bed on the nearby floor with two balls of yarn in it. The text in the first screenshot reads "It's Meowth's Bed." The text in the second screenshot reads "But it's hardly been used since Meowth just sleeps in your mom's bed instead."

Wow a hit... whatever you call a reddit shitpost
A post on the subreddit r/shittymoviedetails, showing a promotional picture of Marvel's Thunderbolts*. The text reads: "In Thunderbolts* (03751), the asterisk indicates that the movie is not the Thunderbolts itself, but actually a pointer to a different region of memory containing the Thunderbolts. If you're a C++ programmer, this is not a reference." The post has been upvoted, with a score of 1.5k, 29 comments, and 68k views.
