All these statements you bring up above is chalked up to the out-universe perception of it as a player who plays the game.

I am not saying that Sonic is faster than light because he beat Emerl, I am saying that he was fast enough to cut a ten-round down to below 30 sec. True, when playing the game, it seems as more than 30 sec when playing the game, but when looking at it from an in-universe perspective that perception might not apply to that because that speed is not accounted: its like this- you see it as 30+ sec, but in-universe it might only 10+ sec. In the game, it is a story playing as if it is real life so the time passing there is not the same when playing the game (in-universe, the character would not be silent while waiting for the player to reply). So in other words, in the in-universe the fight took less than 30 sec and that is what we are going by and looking from the real-life perspective makes none of what they do real.

About the light speed dash, that is also a matter of perspective. We gamers see it as a few meters per second, but that is the gameplay talking because that way we can perceive it, meaning the physics are bend for out sakes. When presenting our information for this, we look at a in-universe and the in-universe states it is light speed and believing what we see from the gameplay is ambiguous. We cannot judge with our eyes so we just have to follow what is stated by the characters and the characters say the light dash is light speed, or are you saying that the explanations given in the games are not valid? Then is it wrong Tails cannot fly? That Tikal is not a Knuckles Clan member? That Chip is not called Light Gaia? If it is said by the characters, then, unless contradicted by a statement of higher priority, it is valid.

For the measurement, I know it seems weird, but like I said, it is a matter of perception; you may not see it like Light Speed, but numbers show it and in-universe states the LSD is light speed. We cannot let our limited perception of it from an out-universe say that what is stated in the game is wrong. However, if you still disagree, we can reduce it to a trivia.

Finally the Colors info. Omega state that at "this rate light speed will be exceeded". Given that he is a computer, that makes it more valid. Also, have you any confirmation that Sonic was cocky or telling the truth out of smugness? Additionally, we do not decide which game is cannon, so the information of each version is as valid as the other.
