Now about the current spinoff. I know it's not in the timeline, but where would it be if it was in the timeline? Oh Sonic Boom, well it could be possible that Rise of Lyric could take place somewhen during the Dreamcast era, perhaps somewhen before Sonic Heroes time.


 * Throughout the game, Tails, Amy and Knuckles encourage Sonic to work together, this implies that their friendship has only been secure not for that long and working together is a fairly new concept for the group.
 * Team Sonic are familiar with Shadow. We don't know how much historyBoom Shadow has in common with his canon self, such as stopping space colonies, but the two are aquaintant to one another.
 * Shadow is the only "Modern based" character in Sonic Boom. Other Sonic characters are yet reintroduced into the series. We do not know if Team Sonic are already aquaintence with them or not.
 * Also Rise of Lyric gameplay is reminiscent of Dreamcast like gameplay. When "Boost to Win" was not a thing and exploring was a more valued gameplay assett than simply reaching the goal.

Before Sonic Heores? How does that work?
