[[WMG: The Time Eater is the 'ghost' of Solaris]]

[[WMG: Going by this, the Time Eater is the corpse-like remains of Solaris.]]

[[WMG: Going further on the above, the Time Eater [[AllYourPowersCombined is a fusion between]] [[EldritchAbomination the body of]] [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Solaris]], [[CastingAShadow the energy of]] [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Dark Gaia]], and [[MechaMooks the mechanisms of]] [[VideoGame/SonicColors the Nega Wisp]]]]

[[WMG: Guesses of other characters that will be apart of Shadow's campaign.]]

* During the climax of ''Sonic Adventure'', Chaos drained the power from all seven chaos emeralds, transforming into Perfect Chaos as a result, a beast that took Super Sonic to take down. However, in this game, you only get a single chaos emerald from beating Perfect Chaos, which he was ostensibly drawing power from. It seems likely that the Time Eater’s powers forced Chaos back into his "Perfect" form to fight Sonic, but he was considerably weaker, having only one emerald to draw energy from, which resulting in his appearance changing somewhat. It also explains why Sonic doesn’t need to go super to beat him anymore – not only is he stronger now, he’s actually facing a less powerful foe.

*** "[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Try to stay away from a weird]] [[Franchise/MetalGear cardboard box]]. The snake inside it doesn't like hedgehogs!"

** Considering how 16th birthdays in fiction [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday tend to go]], that actually seems reasonable enough.

It will get exclusive levels from the ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Advance|Trilogy}}'' trilogy and ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'' series. Specifically, when the Classic and Dreamcast levels are done, the Modern sections will take a turn into the handheld titles.

* Yes, Dimps is involved, but they're co-developing along with Sonic Team, which is promising. Also, to those complaining about Modern Sonic's gameplay being based on VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}, Sonic Team has been listening to the fanbase a lot recently, and it's likely they've heard any complaints about Rush the fanbase has had. We haven't even seen any of the 3DS version, and only a little of the console version.
** Some fans were probably [[UnpleasableFanbase stained]] since Sonic Team and Dimps co-developed VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4, too. A game that used a modified VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}} engine in the end. Some fans probably don't want to take any chances again, since they believe that this alliance will affect the Classic gameplay, as well.

*** And in the 3DS Version, Classic Sonic plays just like the classic games, while Modern Sonic plays similar to the ''VideoGame/SonicRushSeries'', so the latter has the Boost as well. Um, does anyone know if Modern Sonic has the homing-attack in the 3DS version?

* Confirmed. [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Water Palace]] is present, and Classic Sonic's version of [[VideoGame/SonicColors Tropical Resort]] is based on the DS version rather than the Wii version.

* Classic Sonic will have the [[VideoGame/SonicAdvance Advanced]] gameplay style, while Modern Sonic will use the [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Rush]] one.

Now why did he bother with the Time Eater at all? He theorised that talking about it would simply create an AlternateTimeline. Eggman wanted his history to change, not simply have another Robotnik. The Time Eater is an EldritchAbomination who can control alternate timelines, so it could probably make sure the main timeline changes. Still, if that fails, at least he'll have some level of victory. Perhaps, one day, that Robotnik could travel to the main timeline and help him take over! It would go over [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries much better than with Eggman Nega]], since Robotnik would've been successful. Yes, I know this makes Eggman a MagnificentBastard. It's only fitting that he gets to be one, showing how far he emerges out of his VillainDecay.

Just like when Blaze seems to suggest this to Sonic at the end of [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Sonic Rush Adventure]].

** Kinda like the Star Festival in VideoGame/{{Super Mario Galaxy}}.

Classic Sonic was apparently 10 during the events of [[VideoGame.SonicTheHedgehog Sonic 1]], and there was a five-year TimeSkip between that and VideoGame/SonicAdventure.

After he escaped in VideoGame/{{Sonic Free Riders}}, he comes into contact with the Metal Sonic of the past and they come up with a plan to take over the past and future worlds.

* During the climax of ''Sonic Adventure'', Chaos absorbed all seven chaos emeralds, transforming into Perfect Chaos as a result, a beast that took Super Sonic to take down. However, in this game, you only get a single chaos emerald from beating Perfect Chaos, which he was ostensibly drawing power from. It seems likely that the Time Eater’s powers forced Chaos back into his "Perfect" form to fight Sonic, but he was considerably weaker, having only one emerald to draw energy from, which resulting in his appearance changing somewhat.

* While the handheld version has three stages in the Genesis era as usual, there's only two stages in the other eras. In addition, among the eight exclusive pieces of concept art in the handheld version are two images from ''Sonic Advance 3'' and three from ''Sonic Rush Adventure''. In light of the other concept art originating specifically from the handheld version of ''Sonic Colors'', it would suggest the aforementioned games were intended to be used, if not for the six month development.
