Adventure Time's episodes may seem random but there is actually an underlying connection between every single episode. I hope this show does something like that. I doubt they'll reuse the old Sonic backstory but I can imagine Dr. Robotnik was once a good hearted scientist who wanted to be like his grandfather, but after a lab accident with a rotten egg, instead of instantly becoming the evil Dr. Eggman, it could be a slow metamorphosis like Simon Petrikov slowly loosing his mind to become the Ice King.

I've pretty much headcanoned the old backstory back into the games. Instead of Dr. Kintobor instantly becoming Dr. Robotnik it's now Dr. Robotnik (since his grandfather and cousin were Robotniks) slowly becoming Dr. Eggman.
