I think all characters have the ability to store many items on themselves without logical explanation. This hammerspace is never explained and don't think it's neccisary to do so since it's purely for conveniance. But I believe Super Sonic doesn't absorb the Chaos Emeralds and simply keeps them in his inventory whenever he's blue or yellow.

"Mobius" is outdated information and no longer regarded as canon in the games. Sonic's games have and by retconned canon, always took place on Earth. It is Earth, just a different version of Earth. Takashi Iizuka said in an interview that Sonic can traverse between two worlds. One where he came from, the other of Sonic. He also said Sonic Colours follows this logic (which is confusing given it takes place in space so that makes no sense). However it is unconfirmed if this statement is litteral (that Earth and Mobius are seperate) or figurative (For example in Harry Potter stories the "Wizarding World" is a common name for the magic community even though wizards or muggles, they're all humans on Earth.) Aaron Webber believes the worlds are litterally seperate while Sega Europe believes it's just Earth. So no one in Sega is really that sure either.

I believe Sonic's world is definately Earth, just a different version from ours. Humans are still the major race of the world while unconfirmed where Mobians are in racial dominance. Mobians are perhaps few in number or prefer life on secluded islands than major human locations.

"Mobians" are not their confirmed name of species neither. I just call them than because "anthropomorphic animal beings" or "Sonic Fan/Original Characters" is a mouthful.

I think Sonic needs all seven emeralds to have enough energy to become Super Sonic and he can sustain the form for as long as he wills. But in order to sustain his form without needing to concentrate on his powers, the gold rings can support his transformation leaving his mind free to concentrate on pressing matters around him, like fighting off that giant god monster.
