I don't know... the story is really REALLY bad.
The story undid itself, so I say it's perfect.
And somehow it's still considered canon by Sega's standards.
See Sonic Generations.
Also regarding how bad Sonic 06's story is lets bear in mind that the majority of stories in sonic games are out-right silly. I mean completely outright. Given that 06 tried to be serious I'm willing to bet just how serious it is doesn't even matter granted that you know the silliness of sonic overshadows that.
If you wanted a completely serious Sonic game, then the cast would have less pointless characters doing nothing at all (Elise, Silver, Blaze, Mephilis, and even Omega). Some of the pointless characters who have potential given more usefulness to the story and gameplay itself (Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Knuckles and Tails). And keep the story with Sonic from stopping Eggman to do something completely terrible with the chaos emeralds, not just rule the world or whatever. No secret "final" boss that turns out to be the main villain of the game bullshit ether, I want a full fledged battle between Sonic and Eggman.
It seems hard but granted that you realize that nothing is impossible you can make a completely serious story out of something so bluntly obvious and silly. It'd even make for a better reboot if you look at how some of the characters like Shadow can be re-conned into something else specifically for the story.
