Why anyone keep saying that ? In Generations Eggman erased all his setbacks, so Generations for the "Classic" or "Mania" Sonic starts right before the Green Hill Zone Boss from Sonic 1. Classic Tails sort of happens, because:ġ) There is Modern Sonic and Modern Tails
Plus Sonic is waving in the beginning as he did in the Forces end. well, I do think Sonic found it as he went through the part of Angel Island (because, even animes don´t show the whole A to B thing). Lost World didn´t address Eggman being stuck in a limbo in any sense, so why exactly should Mania sequel address that ?įor me, Mania Adventures seems like a canon story. I think it's canon because it's what actually happened with Sega's weird decisions and plans, in Generations Classic was clearly supposed to be from the past, then they decided to make a new classic game and have Sonic be from a different dimension and have him cross paths with Modern again. Younger Sonic evolved into Modern and now the only Classic Sonic is from the Mania world, simple as that. So Classic Sonic is both younger Sonic (Generations) and from a different dimension (Mania and Forces). It's not that complicated, I actually like this theory. basically, the classics (the ones that matter at least) happen in both timelines, then Generations created the Mania timeline where only the classic games are canon, plus Mania and Plus happen, and Classic Sonic (as Ian Flynn stated again that he is indeed Sonic from the past) becomes from another dimension, the Mania timeline, who crosses over again with Modern in Forces. the word of canon God, what are we supposed to base the canon on?Īnd obviously Classic Sonic's canon timeline is Sonic 1 -> Sonic 2 -> Sonic CD -> Sonic 3 & Knuckles -> Sonic Generations -> Sonic Mania -> Sonic Forces -> Encore Mode. Now I know I shouldn't rely on what the writers put into Sonic's mouth, but that's been authorized by SEGA, right? And if we don't believe what Sonic and friends say, a.k.a. And Sonic Forces says the Classic Sonic from Mania is indeed the ones they saw in Generations, since Sonic says "It's been generations since I saw you!". Generations split the timeline in two, because in that game Classic characters are indeed from the past, it's not explicitly said but there are various indirect hints, like Classic Eggman saying "So I will become THAT crazy?", and at the end Sonic and Tails don't forget the events of Generations, Sonic even says "enjoy your future, it's gonna be great!" They are clearly from the past. Hence the game is canon.Īlso I want to say something: I think the split timeline theory is correct and. Mania Plus is a game, Mania Adventures is a webseries made to promote the game. Personally I would like to see both of them be canon but I can't think of a way to make that possible, even putting another adventure between Encore Mode and Mania Adventures where both Eggman (as seen in the Encore Mode true ending) and Sonic (because we see him return again at the start of Mania Adventures) end up in the Modern Sonic World doesn't fix the issue because in that case both Eggman and Sonic would need to come back at the same time at the start of Mania Adventures and that doesn't seem to be the case at all (Eggman seems to have been searching for the Chaos Emeralds for quite a bit before Sonic turns up)Įxactly.
This issue came back to my mind just now because I checked the Classic Sonic World page on the wiki and it lists the events of both the game and the short series, without even trying to explain in what way they can both happen, and I don't like that this contraddiction is blatantly ignoredīecause of this I want to see what the general opinion here is, which one do you think is canon? If you think they are both canon, how can that be? This is something that has been bugging me since the release of Sonic Mania Plus, the fact that both Encore Mode and Sonic Mania Adventures are supposed to take place immediately after Classic Sonic returns to his world and because of this they seem to not be able to coexist
