Mike is not the FNAF3 Guard: The Fazbear's Fright Guard is clearly not a zombie, but at this point in the story, Michael Afton is a zombie

Mike's quest to find his father began after his transformation. "I should be dead, but I'm not"


However, observe the fact that the Night Guard of FNAF3, in fact, breathes laboredly when he gets jumpscared by a phantom animatronic. Also, when there's a ventilation error, he begins having blackouts, a sign that they do harm him in a way that they wouldn't Michael.

He also seems to really enjoy eating Hot Dogs, which is something Mike, in his undead state, can't do. Every day without fail there is a half-eaten hot dog on his desk.

But, if Mike were the FNAF3 guard before his quest to find his father, Mike is still a zombie in FFPS.

Who is the guard? Probably some guy, or one of the bullies in FNAF4 IMHO. Either way, it's not very important in the grand scheme of things.

It's important to note that the main character being undead wasn't something Scott had in mind during the development of fnaf 3, so of course its not going to line up 100%. However, most of this can also be explained


The vents not working properly would likely cause the room to heat up, which we know from FFPS is something that can cause Michael to black out.


It's also worth noting that Micheal might not actually be DEAD dead, as he says he SHOULD be dead, but he specifically isn't. Remnants weird, for example I believe in The Fourth Closet William is actually shown to have survived not only being Springlocked but being shoved into a closet for over a year with no food or water because of Remnant, although I haven't read The Fourth Closet, so maybe I'm misunderstanding it. However, Michael also has a heartbeat in FFPS(You can hear it during one of the salvaging sections), so I think Remnant might just be weird

Scott has made only one retcon in the series between SL and FNAF1, he's not just adding things willy-nilly.

In FFPS, if Michael passes out, he stays passed out, and the room turns orangeish to show the heat. Whereas the guard begins simply phasing in and out of consciousness. And then there's the breathing and the eating.

We clearly see that he has decayed in the SL post-custom Night scenes.

Wrong, it's the special ambience that plays for Scraptrap, and only Scraptrap's salvaging.
