It really makes sense of which route is canon. First is Westoplis, where you run into Sonic, trying to help civilians to get to safety. Then you’re transported to the ruins that are definitely in the Mystic Ruins, after Shadow learns from Black Doom that he knew his creator. Followed by Prison Island, where he starts to remember. Then it’s the incident from 50 years ago on board the Ark, with Maria’s death. Which leads to the Iron Jungle where he believes he’s an Android. Then it’s off to the Ark where he comes face to face with Commander Tower, who wanted to avenge his family, before collecting all 7 Emeralds after a boss fight with Eggman. Which leads to the Final Story. If this game ever gets a future remake, then they should make the gameplay similar to both Adventure 2 & Generations. Corse Sonic x Shadow Generations is exactly what this game could’ve been. Not being too dark & a little immature.
This game's story is both incredible stupid especially after Sonic Heroes and also cool as fuck cuz all the interpretation you can make about the different routes is pretty awesome but it's also really stupid because there's no point to them since there's a last story which renders everything else meaningless but it's so cool that at the end Shadow finally puts his past behind him and starts a new future for himself (as seen in 06) but it's so dumb like why did they make Shadow part alien, it's so unnecessary him simply bring created by Gerald makes enough sense but it's also so cool with how 19 years later we get Shadow Generations which makes great use of the Black Arms and made me love that aspect of Shadow's origins GRRRTAAHHHHH
The real canon route is the one where Shadow says "I'm gonna be evil" and Rouge says "no you're not" and he says "yes ma'am"
I don't care what anyone says, this game will always be one of my favorite Sonic games.

Also I like how most of the conflicts in this game could have been avoided if Rouge just told Shadow about his past :/
