It clearly isn't canon due to it's many contradictions with the already inconsistent "lore" along with it's characterisation of the characters and world. Just like the IDW Comics which also aren't canon with it's many contradictions.
Unlike other media, Sega has the benefit of every iteration of Sonic The Hedgehog creating a brand new Canon by sheer ********* accident. You gave Sonic a girlfriend? Congrats, Somehow it escalated into fighting hordes of Metal Mutant Zombots in the trenches of Mobian Great War... ...Annnddd Dr. Eggman is here too ... *_*Wait a minute*_*
I mean he was breaking sonic pretty bad. I’m sure if they kept up a few more and maybe found a better way of replacing froggy things probably would’ve went in egg man’s favor
"Why don't you go after some animal themed villains instead? You can have your hunt and do something for society. Doctor Octopus, Rhino, Scorpion, Vulture, Shocker..." "I don't know any animal named 'Shocker'." "I am missing a lot of school because of superheroing."
I’m with Lanolin on this one. I don’t care about an overarching canon with Sonic. Trying to have all forms of sonic media connected together is a fools errand and doomed to fail. I’d much rather enjoy things as their own self contained stories instead of trying to force them on some restrictive timeline.
