I don't think Classic Sonic is ever mentioned to be younger than the modern, just that he's from the past. To me it's just the same thing. It's like how Tom Baker was the fourth Doctor and Colin Baker was the sixth Doctor when really both actors were 40 years old during there time as the Doctor. They may have been different carnations than simply aging and maturity, but really Tom Baker was the Doctors past and he would perhaps consider it just the same as maturity even if it's through regeneration than growth.

I believe that Classic Sonic is in a sense both Sonic's previous incarnation like Doctor Who, but I also believe it is indeed Sonic himself when he was a younger, just an unspecific age of young-teen while Modern Sonic could be a youth.

I think Sonic Generations was chosen to be released on the 20th anniversary the anniversary of Sonic 1 that the birthday party was more to represents Sonic's career than his actual age, which it's why Sonic's age was never specified in the party nor throughout the entire game because they didn't want it to be Sonic's actual 20th birthday biologically since being a teen is one of his appeal to his audience.
