Kinda does if it needs to be the conclusion of the story.

My two guesses are:
 * Dr. Eggman went back in time and helped his Classic self create the Sonic Mania timeline which leads to the events seen in Sonic Forces. Sonic from Sonic Mania somehow went forward in time to assist Sonic from the original timeline to correct history.
 * Dr. Eggman went back in time to Sonic 1 and found Sonic back then and plunge him into the future, where my evil is law, now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku!
