MCA follows its own route, kinda sorta. I forget what the criteria for route 1 and route XX were, but in MCA it only follows one route that would seem to take place after many others. Shintaro has his snake all along, allegedly bestowed upon him from Mary of the previous route. It activates partway through the anime and then Shintaro retaliates to his room to quietly enter the Kagerou. Him wearing his black shirt was actually rather unnecessary for the scene (if we're being legit, he would seem to only wear the black shirt for that scene and then shows up in the Kagerou in his jacket) so I'd think it was just a nod off to the other routes from the studio.
