I'm hoping if time travel is involved, the Time Stones are behind this.

Sonic '06 and Generations were all about time travel. {Sonic Generations also had Metal Sonic's battle take place on Metallic Madness Zone.) but despite crystal artifacts ideally made solely for time manipulation, they are never mentioned again after Sonic CD. Chaos Control with multiple Chaos Emeralds pretty much replacing the very purpose of the Time Stones.

I don't like the fact Chaos Control, an ability for teleporting, is slowly turning into a quick and cheap solution for stitching up most gaping plot holes in Sonic games.

If Sega is gonna have Sonic mess with time of a major scale, bring back the Time Stones for it!
