Yes, that's why SEGA of America came up their own version of Sonic franchise in which they didn't have to follow the mandates.
It has their own universe, games, TV series, and comic but it was a hit and miss and overall it wasn't well-received.
Yep, I'm talking about Sonic Boom.


Damn, that must have sucked. Now they're even more obligated by SoJ terms.

Yeah, imagine whether they're about to show some concerns about mandates, the Japanese team would only need to mention two words 'Sonic Boom' and it could be the end of the discussion right away.

True, at the cost of Sega of Japan coming off as more of assholes on the matter.

"Why can't we do it this way?"
"Because THING." (Doesn't elaborate.)
"... asshole."

So Sega of Japan are the one who enforces the mandates and Sega of America are reluctant about it. Is there source of information? Would make an interest SWZ topic.

Unfortunately no. It's just from discussion in Facebook group 10 years ago, who got comment from an ex-SEGA saying Sonic Boom was a chance for SEGA of America to have more control over the brand's direction.
I don't think it's up to date with current condition anyway since Ian Flynn has suggested that in recent years, some of mandates have slightly eased up.
For example back then characters cannot change their wardrobes or wear different clothes but right now Sonic and friends wear many different outfits in Sonic Dash, Sonic Sims, Forces Mobile, and Sonic Rumble Party.

That's good. But have you noticed, that Amy Rose seem to be less thirsty over Sonic? Is that some sort of new mandate?

Yes, Takashi Iizuka himself has indicated a desire to move Amy Rose beyond her traditional role as just "the girl who chases Sonic".
Speaking at a stage interview at Brazil Game Show, he said he wanted to showcase more on Amy's strength, leadership, and independence, treating her as an equal to other characters.

I understand that, but in doing so, they just made her more of "the girl" of the group than anything substantial. Why not just bite the bullet and have Sonic and Amy as a legit couple?

I don't know, may be they're imitating Nintendo since even Mario and Peach wasn't a legit couple.
Nintendo describes them as "good friends", who support each other, rather than a romantic couple.
This approach keeps the iconic duo in a platonic "friend zone".
