Classic Sonic will take the "Past" stages while Modern Sonic takes the "Bad Future" stages. Whenever Classic Sonic has to assure Modern Sonic gets the "Good Futures" or not I'm uncertain.

My theory is Modern Sonic (from the original timeline) and Classic Sonic (from Sonic Mania in the altered timeline) are seperate characters as depicted in the trailer. But it could be possible Sonic could physically switch from Classic to Modern self if he will be moving to specific points in time. Or, it could be possible Classic Sonic is Modern SOnic's own younger self and Dr. Eggman plunged him into the future to make sure he can take over the world unchallenged, of course that make little sense given without Classic Sonic in the past, Modern Sonic wouldn't exist.

That is to say if Dr. Eggman will have the Death Egg mk.II in Sonic '17. That seems a bit complicated for me.
