We need a Book (Heck occasional OGN's at least) that adapt the games to the new continuity.
Or a Timeline. Whichever's more likely.
And it sounds like Episode 1 takes place soon after S3:K with Episode II taking place several months later after Episode 1 and also a year after the events of CD. That would have to put CD before Sonic 2, if you ask me. EDIT: Unless Sonic CD isn't just before Sonic 2, but before Sonic 1 as well, which would mean 1-2-3-4 happens in that order for Sonic and Eggman with CD happening at an earlier point separate from the Classic 'Tetralogy'.SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 4: EPISODE I
It began as Sonic’s animal friends begin disappearing from South Island.

A few monthes have passed since the battle from Episode I. However Sonic's rest comes to an end as Little Planet reapproaches.
Sonic finds out that Dr. Eggman is back in action on the neighboring continent. He sets off on the Tornado to investigate the continent with his sidekick, Tails...

In his previous adventure, Sonic destroyed Dr. Eggman's base, the Death Egg; now the debris has started its fall to Earth. And right in the path of the falling base floats a giant cloud-like mass. The giant shadow of Death Egg hides the cloud... Towering mountains, a gigantic forest... the cloud is none other than the legendary floating island, suspended in the sky.
The Death Egg became a fireball and hit the floating island; mountains were destroyed, the forests decimated...
This disastrous event greatly alters the island's path, forcing it towards the Earth.
The island crashes into the sea surface. The impact creates a gigantic wave, but the island doesn't sink. The floating island now sits on the sea surface as if nothing happened.
Many days pass...

From the Japanese manual.
I know it kind of looks like the intro takes right after the ending of Sonic 2, but that "several days" can allow for other things to happen...

It's not like, say, the empty space between 1 and 2.
