That does sound viable. If Metal does truly do Super, he will probably have gained it under his own power. And it does seem unlikely that Mecha Sonic Truly went Super. I beleive that he simply tapped into the power of the master emerald - as many machines seem to do - and it just caused an over heat where his metal heated up incredibly hot. Which would explain why he had to stop for a little every now and then, he heated up too much and had to cool down, then power back up.
