I mean, this is literally the most iconic scene of the franchise, could anything really beat this? Only scene I could really think of having potential to beat this would be a Super Sonic, Super Shadow, and Super Silver team up with His World
In the Third movie, Shadow sees a billboard which says 2024, meaning this movie obviously takes place in 2024.This gives us a basis for the timeline, and since the characters don't age much, I would assume the first movie takes place in 2023. In the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Pre-Quill Comic, Robotnik states that there are 200 days until Christmas. This segment of the comic takes place immediately after the ending of the first Sonic Movie where Robotnik goes insane and turns into Eggman, and by that time it has already been 87 days since his first day on the Mushroom Planet. 287 days before December 25 2023 would be March 13 2023. The First movie takes place across 5 days, Robotnik being stranded on the 4th so that would mean the movie takes place from March 10 2023 to March 14 2023.
Now onto the second movie. Robotnik is giving us every clue on this timeline because in the opening of the movie he states that it's Day 243 on the Mushroom Planet. 243 days after March 13 2023 would be November 11 2023. The Movie takes place across four days including the epilogue so Sonic Movie 2 takes place from November 11 2023 to November 14 2023.
Now onto the third movie. In the beginning of the movie, it's the anniversary of the day when Sonic came to Earth. I think they kinda messed up on the wording and I think they're talking about the day Tom met Sonic in his garage because how would Tom, Sonic, or anyone for that matter know when Sonic came to Earth. But if you don't believe this and you think they're talking about the day Sonic came to Earth then we still have evidence for that that doesn't affect the timeline either way. After the flashback of the first movie, it displays a text saying 10 Years Later. We don't know when 10 Years later, but because they don't elaborate on this, we can assume it's exactly 10 Years later. The third movie takes place across three days and Sonic met Tom on March 11 so Sonic Movie 3 takes place from March 11 2024 to March 13 2024.
For the Knuckles series there's no exact date given so you can headcanon anytime during 2024 since the announcers of the Bowling Tournament say that it's been 50 years since 1974. Now if anyone mentions the characters saying “years” in Sonic 3 I SWEAR TO-

I’d personally want them to go to the alternate universe from Book 8, while also doing things from Book 6 and 7, or do a time travel storyline from Books 9 and 10
