Do Shadow and Robotnik die in Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s ending?

In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, it seems like Dr. Ivo Robotnik meets his end. However, in the final scenes of the movie, Shadow the Hedgehog appears to perish, yet he’s shown to be alive in the post-credits sequence.

It appears that Ivo perishes heroically when he selflessly puts himself between Earth and the Eclipse Cannon, a deadly weapon, to save our planet from its devastating blast. He maneuvers the weapon away from Earth’s vicinity just before it detonates.

Initially, he teamed up with his granddad, Gerald Robotnik, in Gerald’s vengeful crusade against Earth following the death of his granddaughter Maria. He played a part in constructing the Eclipse Cannon. However, their objectives differed, leading Ivo to opt for conquering Earth, whereas Gerald aimed to annihilate it. Prior to giving up his life, Ivo transmits a message to his assistant, Agent Stone, whom he considers a friend.

During the events, Shadow, who appeared to have given his life while aiding Ivo in shifting the Eclipse Cannon far from Earth just moments before its destruction, miraculously lived on. This was hinted at in the post-credits scene. In the following sequence, we see Shadow retrieving his inhibitor ring.
