Edit: Just looked into it, that is not his final defeat, he returns at the end and it ends in cliffhanger, Angel style

I must have missed that one, it didn't seem to be listed on Sonic's page when I checked, but then, I've seen the video of the fight with Ix just now, it looks more like an RPG which is a completely different style from Sonic games. Also, Ix's page says he teleports away, but from what I saw, he just lays there once defeated, then it immediately shows the heroes go back to run into Eggman, so how do we know he's not dead?

...not really the biggest issue here since we were talking about Eggman, but still The game starts off with the pressumed final defeat of Dr. Eggman "some time ago". As in the big battle to finish Dr. Eggman. There is a megaton explosion and Dr. Eggman was thought lost, but the heroes don't pressume him dead but the manual calls it his "Eggman's final defeat" and the heroes go on vacation.

Since Sonic's battle with Dr. Eggman is on-going throughout the main series, we can pressume the "Final defeat" is somewhen in the future. That mean Sonic Chronicles "present" is even further along that. Also throughout the game you can make matur eor very least quesionable choices for Sonic throughout the game such as making SonAmy a thing (Chronicles is the closest a Sega game ever confirms SonAmy) and other choices which makes the game even less canon.

Don't get me wrong, I like the story itself such as Echidnan history, the Nocturnus and so on, but the game itself cannot be considered canon at all due to it's place and geography.
