1: There still is no statement saying how long Super Sonic can last. To make things worse, I'm sure Super Sonic has lasted longer than 5 minutes in a fight and most of the fights don't even show any rings in sight like SA2, Sonic 06, and even Sonic 2. 2: Tails talked about rings, but he never showed it nor did he explain what the rings purpose was. All he said was "So Sonic collects all those GOLD rings". Then the other said "So where does he put all those"? Considering Tails back then as he also collected those "GOLD" rings, he should know what Sonic does with them and even he doesn't know so again that proves the rings are part of a game mechanic. PS, there not called "GOLD" rings, they've been told of being POWER rings. EDIT:And i checked the wiki and it was told of being a joke. Makes sense if Tails doesn't even know what the rings purpose was.

Rings are EASILY proven as being a game mechanic. The fact that they can serve multiple purposes like being money, weapons, or even energy proves it. Its even on the Sonic Wikia Game mechanic section. Whoever says the rings are not a game mechanic are pure retards. Too many things conflict with the rings to actually make them a canonical asset to the series.

1: Sonic uses rings as health, but in games like Sonic Battle or cutscenes he shows being able to survive hits without proof of ever having rings. 2: Super Sonic needs rings to maintain his super form, but games like Sonic 2 and the cutscenes NEVER shows Sonic using rings to turn into Super Sonic. Even Sonic Generations STRONGLY support that has game logic would say as Sonic gets hit he loses rings and he got hit and rings didn't pop out from him. 3: Rings being used a currency doesn't make sense if they serve a purpose to the heroes. So you're saying instead of using rings to help the heroes, they're going to use it as something that serves no purpose to them? I can go further but I don't want to make it too long.
