Well, I've met a few who have their own perspective of continuity of Sonic games. For example on Ponyville.us this guy Dragonpuncher believed that games after the Classic-era were a reboot and not related to one another. He hated Modern Sonic games and believed the reason why they're so different to how he remembers them is because of reboot.

I told him that Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic are indeed one in the same, the Classic Sonic was Modern Sonic's early preteen years etc. The debate took a few days but he gradually finally started to agree from the perspective established by Sonic Generations, the only modern SOnic game I think he liked.

Then that "YOU'RE THAT SONIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION!" crap in Sonic Forces happened which he was quick to point out to me and just like that he was back and well fixed into his old view and I just gave up trying to convince him otherwise.

I gave up because while he was wrong to believe Classic-era is not canon to the later games, he's right that Sonic Mania does indeed take place on a timeline that splits off after Sonic 3&K and I just couldn't be bothered to untangle that mess for him.

So what I'm saying is that while I may not agree with your headcanon, if it is an oppinion you wish to stick by then I won't hassle you about it. If you want to know my headcanons or how I see Sonic continuty amongst games and comics then I will talk about it if asked. But I would still reccomend that for established lore by Sega and headcanon it's perhaps to observe and take into account facts and even details that are provided from the source before coming to the conclusions by yourself.
