That is because rings are gameplay mechianics and we never seen how they go into Sonic in at cutscene. That would be intersting to see.

While the theory is good, Sonic world is not excatly earth or I think it is not. I remember looking at a sprite animation for Sonic and they bascially said that Earth and Mobius are two different worlds that Sonic travel back and forth to.

The taking energy is similar to how the weapons take energy.Super Sonic will take as much energy as he need from the Chaos Emeralds or as much as Sonic body can handle it.
