Every game follows the previous one, for the most part. My core question is, are there actually consistent design, story, and setting staples in this series? Do the events in Sonic Adventure matter in the newest installment, like is there a long-running, persistent timeline of events going on here? Or are they just a bunch of anthropomorphic furry dolls trapped in a never-ending bland and nondescript dimension of half-baked ideas and perpetually repeating tropes and concepts?

But as a now outsider to the series I'm often pretty confused at the clusterfuck of a series Sonic Team is putting out. Sonic Mania was simple enough because it focused on what the franchise focused on in its prime, and its contextual simplicity certainly freed the experience up to be as zippy, fun, and memorable as possible within its format(and thats besides the gameplay actually being great). and perhaps even different realities and timelines? As if they have no real vision of any concrete or consistent universe that Sonic takes place in but rather just throw darts at hastily scribbled ideas on a bulletin board for the next installment. What the fuck is it?!From a now layman's perspective it seems like all the game stories post-Sonic Adventure basically have the same general cast of main characters, often feature new and often stylistically clashing antagonists and side characters, and for the most part take place in completely different settings. Regardless, this thread is more about the overarching story of the Sonic franchise. There are some in retrospect I regret missing out on, like Sonic Unleashed and the Sonic Advance series. I guess I played a couple of the racing games and I actually loved Sonic Mania and enjoyed that GBA fighting one with Emerl, but beyond those I haven't really followed the ups and downs of the main line games since Heroes. Sonic Heroes was the one where I picked the controller up, played one or two levels, gave it a side-eye look and more or less bailed from the series forever. The last Sonic I was wholly invested in was SA2. Even the less than stellar ones like Sonic 3D Blast I have good memories of. Loved the SatAM cartoon, subscribed for a very long time to the Archie comic series during the golden years, went hard on pretty much every game on Genesis, Game Gear, etc. I practically breathed the character and the franchise in general when I was a kid, completely obsessing over anything relating that I could get my hands on. So I'm something of a long-lapsed Sonic fan. I've been meaning to make this thread and pose this question for awhile so some poor souls who have seen it all can explain this to me.
