I think that if they had not been rushed for time, Sonic 06 would have not gotten the ending of "this game just doesn't count, ok?"

I think they knew it was a horrible project and rewrote the ending so they wouldn't have to use anything that happened in this game. Which they kind of ended up doing anyway, but it was mainly just Silver who just got randomly transplanted into the series.

Probably the same with Lost World, possibly. With the way everything is just sort of marked out, with no real possibility to return to those elements, it's possible they rewrote the ending as well. It does seem rather random how all the villains just die and Eggman and Sonic are back at square one... but who really knows?
