Oh, and a better way to tell that Lost World came after Colors: Sonic calls Eggman "Baldy Nosehair" in Lost World, before Windy Hill Zone Four. I agree with Unleashed here, but remember that portal that came out of nowhere to let Classic Sonic go back to the events of Sonic 1? My theory is that the same thing happened to the Eggmen to let them leave White Space so as not to create a paradox. Remember, this is coming from the same guy that researched a factual and canonical reason as to how Stardust Speedway can be in the bad future, but still have the canon good ending of Sonic CD [Answer: US (and maybe JP) Manual states Little Planet doesn't follow "standard" rules of time].
