Oh fuck off, seriously. The Sonic canon isn't some sort of overly complicated mess that people make it out to be, it has a few errors and oddities here and there, but a few retcons and clarifications can easily fix them.
>Rivals 1 and 2 aren't canon
>Blaze's and Nega's backstories from the Rush duology are their canon one's, Silver's backstory is the one from 06
>Blaze ended up in 06 due to Sol emerald fuckery, was sent back to the present day Sol dimension with amnesia
>Mania takes place in an alternate timeline that diverges from the canon one post-S3&K
>Everyone lives on the same planet, which is the one from Unleashed
There, I fixed the Sonic canon, no drastic switching to Archie required.
