Heres my ideal story I would like for Sonic '17.


 * All the games, from Sonic 1 to Sonic Lost World takes place on the "Sonic Timeline". Despite how poor Sonic 4 faired, it still counts as canon.
 * Sonic Mania is not included in this timeline.
 * Dr. Eggman returns to Little Planet and repairs the Death Egg Mk.II, making it function as a time machine. He uses it to travel back in time to somewhen or before the Classic era to assist Classic Eggman.
 * With Modern Eggmans knowledge of the future, he rewritten history causing all past Sonic games to never happened, causing the creation of the "Eggman Timeline" where he is ultimately victorious.
 * Sonic back then is still alive and it was his destiny to meet Tails and Knuckles. While the Classic games never happened in Eggman Timeline, instead Sonic Mania happened.
 * The Sonic '17 trailer takes place in the modern era of the Eggman Timeline. Somehow Sonic of the original Sonic Timeline has found his way to the Eggman Timeline where Sonic see's Dr. Eggmans robots destroy what fans pressume is City Escape.
 * Classic Sonic from Sonic Mania found a way to time travel to meet Modern Sonic as seen in the trailer.
 * The Time Stones are collected throughout the story, given in Sonic CD they have the power to reset the timeline to the desired outcome.
 * The Chaos Emeralds are merely collectibles, like how they were in Sonic Colours or Sonic Lost World.

I really don't want it all be because of Chaos Control or Time Eater that time travel is soley possible because thats over done.
