I think there's like six

But two of them are out this year is sort of the thing, so you know, superfluous doesn't sound like a word we should use

Then again when mania comes out in august gonna install it, finish the first two zones and the third will be Sky Sanctuary and no one will understand why I'm screaming

I don't think it's neccessarily time travel. I mean.

None of those characters have gone anywhere. They still exist in universe. They're all known quantities that Eggman can recruit, rebuild, or otherwise press into his service somehow.

What I'm seeing on TVtropes, at least, is that Eggman somehow punted Classic Sonic into the future, thereby removing him from history past that point. Without Sonic in the way, he was able to effortlessly take over the world.

Modern Sonic apparently managed to avoid being Rippled out of the timeline... somehow, but apparently nobody remembers him.

Again, :tvtropes: so, you know.

It's an alternate timeline where Self-Insert Character attempts to live out his Sonic fantasies and utterly fails to stop every one of Eggman's schemes because he's a huge loser.

well, I mean, TVTropes

is there anything OFFICIAL stating all that? Because everyone seems to remember Sonic in the opening stage's radio conversations and Eggman is already wrecking things in that.

I had the opportunity to play Sonic Mania today at E3 and had to brag. We had the choice between Green Hill and Mirage Saloon as any of the three characters. I chose GHZ as Sonic. My sister did Mirage Saloon as Knuckles.

It's great, you guys. The GHZ act 2 boss is well-done. My sister really enjoyed the theme of Mirage Saloon. Just like we hoped, it feels like a proper classic Sonic game.

You joke, but Mr. Whitehead would absolutely include some kind of terrible barrel. Even if it's not in Carnival Nights, I fully expect a terrible barrel cameo somewhere in Mania.

That would make sense, in its own way - they're the same Sonic, so if classic Sonic still exists then modern Sonic could still be anchored to him and avoid being erased.

It's Schrodinger's Sonic Game. It both is and isn't Deviantart until the first character starts inexplicably inflating.

Here's an interesting thing I learned about hedgehogs after doing a bit of research on them. Hedgehogs can actually suffer from a disease called balloon syndrome in which gas builds up under the skin and they literally inflate like a balloon and become the size of a beach ball. It's unique to hedgehogs because they have very loose skin due to their ability to roll into a ball. You kind of have to poke a hole in them and let the air out or else they'll die. So maybe deviant art is on to something, because inflating hedgehogs is a thing that actually happens in real life.

Plus as far as I know it's still being written by the guys behind Colors and onward, I doubt we're going full on '06 level over-seriousness any time soon (nor should it in my opinion, the basic concept of the Sonic franchise is essentially a Saturday morning cartoon plot and should be treated as such).

Off the subject, I don't know if we've heard her in gameplay footage or not but I kind of hope they stick with Amy's Sonic Boom voice from now on rather than going back to the Minnie Mouse-esque voice she had in the previous few games.

She talks about 3 minutes into the 7 minute trailer on IGN. I think it's her boom voice or closer to it. Probably the latter.

I realize that, but they did give her a different voice direction in the Boom series which in my opinion sounds much better (and having just seen the gameplay trailer for Sonic Forces, apparently has been carried over to the main series as well, which is good).

Speaking of which, Forces doesn't really look that terrible so far at least from a gameplay perspective (the constant in-game chatter could potentially get annoying though, it is a bit more subdued than say, Sonic Heroes at least).
