I have a theory or the very least a headcanon explanation for almost everything about Sonic and his world. Including characters, cultures, important moments, forgotten gameplay elements, the very world itself and why Sonic's "Earth" is different from our "Earth".

If Super Sonic does require willpower to sustain, do you think Sonic can concentrate on being Super Sonic when he's zooming through the zones or fighting god like monsters? Having to comprehend stradegy and battle with his temporary given powers? Abilities like Chaos Control and Chaos Power requires willpower alone and can only be used depending how the user feels. If they feel rightious = chaos Control, cruel = Chaos Blast or simply something to shoot = Chaos Spear, those kind of things require easy concentration for great powers.

As for Sonic Battle and Sonic Chronicles canon... man I'm really not sure about it. The geography and content of these games just irk me all the wrong ways. For starters Green Hill Zone is established to be located on South Island, as stated in manuals of Sonic 1 and confirmed to what it looks like in the 8-bit games. The overworlds of Battle and Chronicles irks me because it shows Green Hill Zone part of the mainlands near Central City (in Battle, Green Hill is a fighting stage in Emerald Town south of Central City while in Chronicles shows Green Hill Zone north of Central City.) It's a geography error in canon. Yes perhaps a minor one, an over-sight or the developers simply don't care, I know I really shouldn't get uppity about it but it really grinds my gears. Another thing Sonic Chronicles had so much post-SGW Archie comic elements for it's time I considered it could be based in Archie Sonic future. (I had a thread about that but I couldn't find it.) Lastly the story of Sonic Battle itself is somewhat a prequal to Sonic Chronicles as it introduces the concept of Gizoids, but at the same time they ressurected Gamma and I really don't like that. Some passed heroes are better left to rest.

Yeah Dr. Eggman uses the Chaos Emeralds to charge powerful weapons. Take the Eclipse Cannon for example, with six emeralds can break the moon, seven destroy the earth. But without the Eclipse Cannon, then he'll just have the seven emeralds.

They'll perhaps have no further need of the chaos emeralds for there physical self but keep them for other uses. That or they would need to absorb more energy from the emeralds later on than just by rings. really depends on the transformation. I think Mephiles needs the Chaos Emeralds to bond with Ibliz to become Solaris, but Solaris being god like would have no further need for the Chaos Emeralds.
