I still don't think that the interview confirms or denies that Knuckles Chaotix as non canon. Just the director Takashi Iizuka says that they weren't involved with Knuckles Chaotix; some other internal sega Development team did that. That means that it is still a Sonic game licenced by Sega and thus could still be ringed into Sonic lore. I think what Iizuka did was simply revamp them for modern era. There past can still be canon to them just as Classic Sonic is considered Modern Sonic's childhood in Sonic Generations. This brings up another question of mine. From what point in time is Classic Sonic in Sonic Generations taken? Some would say Sonic 1 because he's in Green Hill Zone, but that can't be true because he has the spindash and has already met tails. My friend and I have speculated that it's Sonic from before Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Our reasoning for this was that you can buy things like the elemental shields and that twin-spin attack, which were introduced in S3&K.

I believe it's Sonic CD, given both this game and Sonic Generarions are heavily about time traveling. That and while Classic Amy was not in Sonic Generations, neither was Classic Knuckles and he is considered more of a primary character to the Classic era than Amy is.
