Yes and no. Do you know how in final bosses, the characters talk about stuff releated to the story and other stuff that is releated to the enemy and what they can do and also teach you what to do and how to win the game. In all of that, you will have to fihgure out what is just purely gameplay mechanics and what is not.

As for rings, I will say no since there has never been an offical statement anywhere that says that Super Sonic need rings. All the statements say that the Chaos Emeralds give Super Sonic all of his power.
