Sonic Generations/Headscratchers

• My brain farted at this incident. While I love the game, I can't understand that after rescuing Blaze, she comments on how it's strange she was back at Crisis City (one of the levels of the future in Sonic '06). Now from the very intro you see Blaze with Sonic's other friends celebrating his birthday party, so unless Blaze somehow not only managed to survive the encounter with Iblis but could also warp space and time herself, it's easier to assume it's the same Blaze from the Sonic Rush series, a series which is clearly not set in the same dimension as Sonic 06 (which by the way had its plot completely erased by the end of the game) Despite my best efforts, I can only assume that the Future Blaze became one with the Iblis flames and sealed herself away in an alternate dimension (being Sol Blaze's) where she inadvertently merged with Sol Blaze, cursing her with the power of the flames that she mentioned in her debut. Afterwards, she gained what must've either been memories or strange senses of deja vu when thinking about places Future Blaze went to, in dreams or otherwise. This is the only theory I feel holds and I'm sticking to it unless someone has a better answer. Please, because I can't handle the paradoxes!
  • Well first off there's the fact that Sonic 06's events never happened if you bother to take a look at the ending, also if the DS version of Colors is canon or matters at all she did say the Sol Emeralds started glowing strangely and she wound up in Eggman's theme park in the Sweet Mountain planet area, not to mention she did appear alongside Silver there, My guess is whatever the Sol Emeralds did to send her there had not sent her back or she decided to stay for one reason or another.
    • Also, the Time Eater could tear time and space, so it could bring back levels from other timelines...look, just go with it.
• Unless there wasn't enough room on the game card, why are there less levels in the 3DS version than the console version? Also, why is there only one level based on the handheld games (Water Palace from Sonic Rush)?
  • So each level could have a Special Stage, one with each Chaos Emerald to collect. Also, Tropical Resort IS from the DS version of Sonic Colors, so it's possible that instead of the Modern Era, we have the DS Era.
• Why would Eggman bring back City Escape, Radical Highway or Crisis City? He said he was using the Time Eater to undo his defeats, but he had nothing to do with those levels. The enemies aren't even his bots either.
  • It's likely he would lure Sonic into those levels since they have a high amount of danger (City Escape with the GUN truck, Radical Highway with the GUN robots since Shadow inadvertently framed Sonic, and Crisis City...I think it's pretty obvious).
