The point for Shadow is that him teleporting might be similar to the abiity that Silver have whe he teleport. For Super Sonic, there has been no offical statement that Super Sonic needs rings. The profile on Sonic Channel was just your view on it because no everybody sees it that way. Other people see it as how much the user body can handle it physically or mentally like you said a whil back.

Counting all Super Forms as one in the same since they utilize the same exact source (Chaos Energy), Sonic's own has been shown to last longer as seen with Sonic Advance where it's said to have lasted at least a few days. As it stands, a minutes-spanning time-frame comes mostly from the depletion of Rings in gameplay, which as a mechanic are inconsistent and change from time to time depending on the game, such as automatically depleting over time, or by 10 each time the user is knocked back. Additionally, Rings have never been mentioned nor shown to be required for the Super Form outside of gameplay, usually only relegated to status of currency,. You really can not say that rings can stop people from being hurt, use for money, and power a Super frm at the same time, the logic does not work here. Besides, the Chaos Emeralds are stated on several occasions to possess infinite energy. That said, requiring a source to fuel said infinite energy is a contradiction, and thus collecting Rings in order to maintain the Super Form is nothing short of a game mechanic, created to ensure the Super Form is not overpowered during gameplay.
