Oh, wellI find it hard to pinpoint exactly when Sonic CD takes place because I believe Sonic 2 directly continues onto Sonic 3. But I know Sonic 4 takes place somewhen between Sonic 3 and Sonic 4.

Sonic CD was released between 2 and 3. It could be possible Sonic CD takes place after Sonic & Knuckles or before Sonic 2. Neither Japanese or Western manuals of Sonic CD never mentions Tails so it could be possible it takes place before Sonic 2.

It is my own headcanon (not confirmed in the games) that Classic Sonic from Sonic Generations was from Sonic CD since that game was heavily time oriented to make that Sonic a likely canditate. Classic Sonic also knew Classic Tails. And Sonic CD rerelased came out the same month and year as Sonic Generations which could be a sort of nod at it.

Either that or Sega was never sure how "Little" Miracle Planet was in the first place, given in Sonic CD intro when Sonic ran up the chain the camera eprspective have him shrink down til not there.
