No probs.

So, last night, was thinking more on the possible story for Sonic '17.

It is unlikely the Time Stones will be returning, but I can't help but imagine Dr. Eggman has re-commandeered the Death Egg mk.II which by having Little Planet in it makes it function like a TARDIS. He used it to rewrite his history with Sonic in his favour.

The Chaos Emeralds will take a backseat role like they did in Sonic Lost World (merely collectibles, with Super Sonic being an unlockable) as Sonic (and Sonic from Sonic Mania) must now collect the Time Stones which have the power to change reality and free Little Planet.

Of course Time Stones have not been seen since Sonic CD so it's likey Dr. Eggman made some brand new time machine, remade the Time Eater or Chaos Controlled his way through time or something.

(Personally, I believe Classic Sonic from Generations specifically comes from Sonic CD and Classic Sonic from Sonic '17 specifically comes from Sonic Mania, but thats just me.)
