If Sonic '17 is about Dr. Eggman reseting the timeline in his favour, I believe Sonic Mania could take place where the Mega Drive games should be and that Classic Sonic in Sonic '17 is the same Sonic from Sonic Mania. So Sonic '17 takes place somewhen after Sonic Lost World and Sonic Mania is a stand-alone game because of Dr. Eggmans time traveling shenanigans.

I'll reconsider it all depends how much I missed the mark on the story. Maybe the timeline is shared in between Mania And Project Sonic you reckon? Yes. I believe Project Sonic 2017 story will start off in the main timeline where Sonic Lost World, Sonic Generations and all the past Sonic games exist. Let's call the canon timeline we have the "Sonic timeline".

It could be possible Dr. Eggman use time travel shenanigans to erase his past failures with Sonic and create the ideal timeline for himself, as depicted with giant robots destroying a city as seen in the trailer. This can be called the "Eggman timeline".

I don't know when exactly Sonic Mania will take place during the classic era (Sonic 1, 2, CD, 3&K and maybe 4 and Pocket count as classics as well, if Pocket is not stand-alone.) but I do believe it does take place in the classic era of the Eggman timeline and that it is this Sonic that we see in the 2017 trailer.

I believe the story of Project Sonic 2017 will be Sonic trying to restore the Sonic timeline to how it was. Pretty much as I almost predicted. I wonder if Sonic will have time travelling abilities in this game.
