So the postcredits scene of Sonic Colors is confirmed as canon, but what of the postcredits scene of this game? Eggman and Classic Eggman (for simplicity's sake I'll call him what he was called in his time: Robotnik) are imprisoned in limbo by Time Eater's destruction. There is no way out, and the Eggmans imply that if they ever do get out they'll stop being evil and get a degree in teaching.

Yet by Sonic Lost World, which is clearly after because there are Wisps, and Colors (the game to introduce the Wisps) and Generations are back to back, Eggman is not only back on Earth, but up to his old tricks. And it is never explained how he got out of limbo. So it's like Time Eater's destruction sent him back to Earth, or sent his Eggmobile back to space with Orbot and Cubot.

Makes you wonder about Sonic Lost World... did Eggman really survive his fall as shown in the postcredits scene or did he actually fall to his doom? (probably the former but you never know)
