Juding by recent footage, I don't believe Sonic Forces has anything to do with Sonic Mania which I believe was a stretched to begin with. Depictions of Green Hill Zone with sand instead of water prooves this, unless this version of Green Hill Zone has something to do with that version of Green Hill Zone.

And the depiction of the third character in the dust of the carnage doesn't look all that hedgehog which prooves he is neither Dreamcast Sonic, alternate timeline Sonic, Silver or at all a hedgehog.

My original theory was that Classic Sonic in Forces and Sonic in Mania were the same hedgehogs.
