** A common guess on Twitter is either an armadillo lizard or pangolin; the former of which is a lizard that bites its tail to curl into a ball-like shape and the latter is a mammal that looks like a lizard and is also able to somewhat curl up into a ball.

* Fang is also holding a Chaos Emerald in his art, and Trip has an emerald at her feet in hers. Eggman holding an emerald in his character art means nothing it doesn't also mean for the other two villains.

[[WMG: Trip's real species.]]
Since her head is covered by a metal.. something, we can't really figure out the identity of Trip's species. Why not list some guesses?
* A red panda. A couple people online say that her tail somewhat looks like a red panda.
* Some sort of lizard. If not spiky fur, it might be ''actual'' spikes, which is an attribute of some lizard, although I can't think of one in particular.

Judging by how his character art has him holding a Chaos Emerald like the 4 heroes + his LEGO skin.

* Confirmed as his description on the official site states he "has been known by many different names over the years, likely due to his “WANTED” status with the authorities.", although it seems his name has been changed to Fang the Hunter and he's just a jerboa now.

[[WMG: The antagonist is not Eggman, but [[Videogame/SonicFrontiers Sage]] instead.]]
While Eggman is seemingly confirmed, he's not been seen ''in person''. Possibly the antagonist is Sage, who is trying to prove to her father that she is more than capable of living up to her family legacy.
* Unlikely, as Sage does not exist in the Classic Sonic timeline and, while is possible that Classic Eggman could make a Classic timeline equivalent of Sage in this game, Sega does not seem to have any interest in making Classic versions of Modern characters.
* Completely jossed, Eggman appears in the opening animation alongside Fang. Also, it would make absolutely no sense for Sage to appear due to this being a Classic Sonic game and thus a game set in the past.

VideoGame/SonicFrontiers confirmed that Tangle is now a CanonImmigrant, and Trip’s tail looks like Tangle’s, just shorter and brown-colored. So it could be that Trip is secretly a relative of Tangle.

Sega of Japan have said that Fang the Sniper is a jerboa-wolf hybrid, where as Sega of America introduced Fang as Nack The Weasel. The game will explain that one is an alias he uses and the other is his real name and race.

[[WMG: This game will feature the return of Hyper Form.]]
The Chaos Emeralds have been getting an increasing amount of focus recently, with ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers'' delving into their history and this game showing off new abilities of their's. With this resurgence in relevance, now would probably be the best time to put the Super Emeralds, back in the limelight as well.

Iizuka and Sonic Team as a whole have come to be more receptive towards fan feedback and criticism with the last couple games and the return of Hyper Sonic is something fans have been clamoring for decades. Dummied out files in ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' even suggest they were going to return in that game, so we know that the idea has at least been flirted with in the past.

The main issue with this theory is Sonic Team's reluctance to reintroduce Hyper Form since, according to Christian Whitehead, they reportedly don't want to deal with a [[NextTierPowerUp multi-tier power system]]. And as it stands, Hyper Form is just Super with extra bells and whistles. But this just serves as the perfect excuse to give the forms their own variation of DivergentCharacterEvolution, like say Super Form is the standard "buff Sonic and pals' base abilities" deal while Hyper is more focused on being able to cycle through stronger versions the Emerald Powers, just to give an example.

* Jossed, an interview with Takashi Iizuka confirmed that Superstars and Frontiers have no overt connections whatsoever. At best the most barebone surface level similarities can be seen, like Chaos Emerald lore, multiple islands, and a new antagonist being introduced, but no actual connection as far as The Ancients are concerned.

As for the 5th playable character part? There's a spot above Knuckles and parallel to Tails that has an explicit animation of the latter looking to said spot in confusion. Fang is hired by Eggman to work for him in Superstars, so this new character is the only one that makes sense to be made playable. Additionally, the rival bit would lead to a nice MegaMan & Bass or Sonic Adventure 2 situation.

As for the "rival" part? They're bumbling, yet working with Eggman. It's probably another misguided foe ala Eggman trickery situation, like Knuckles. But, unlike him they'd still be opposed to Sonic and going to compete with him rather than be his outright (easily duped) ally.

[[WMG: The new antagonist is female, and going to end up as Classic Sonic's Rival and the 5th playable character.]]
How would I prove this despite no face being visible? Simple, their legs, they're covered. Going by the current rules for characters in the Sonic series, if I recall correctly, males can only ever wear upper body clothing if they ever do cover up and never anything like pants, while females have to have some form of lower body clothes.

But unlike Eggman, Fang and the yet unseen new character, he won't be a major character, a BigBadWannabe at best. Perhaps he'll come to North Star Islands to search for a way to rebuild his empire after Tails thrashed it. And of course there'll be a rematch between the two.

[[WMG: This game will flesh out the lore from in SonicFrontiers]]
This game is set in a new set of islands just like that game, and the Emeralds have brand new powers. It could be that [[spoiler:this was another archipelago settled by the Ancients from Frontiers or even the Classic world's version of Starfall Islands, and contains some sort of tech that unlocks the full potential of the Emeralds since they would know all about how to use them.]]
