Golden Ring of Mobius


 * For the object used for transportation, see Mobius Ring.

The Golden Rings of Mobius, also referred to as the Mobius Rings,  are objects that appear in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. They are golden rings found around the planet Mobius which hold strange properties.

Description
The Golden Rings resemble either the basic and round-edged wedding rings or solid brass round rings, expect they are about the size of a basketball. They are apparently an naturally-occurring and plentiful phenomenon on Mobius, although their origin is unspecified.

While they appear nothing out of the ordinary, Golden Rings possess strange properties, containing an special form of energy referred to as "Ring Energy." This energy can be harnessed to either fuel machines or empower living beings. In the case of the latter, they can leave behind remnants of energy in their users which they can tap into later. They can also record a person's brain patterns, essentially forming sentient programs inside them containing a copy of said person's personality and mind. Curiously, these imprints are able to talk through the Golden Rings.

History
The Golden Rings of Mobius were used by Doctor Ovi Kintobor in conjunction with his Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor (ROCC) to transfer most of the evil energy on Mobius into six Chaos Emeralds and turn the planet into a paradise. During the explosion of the ROCC, Kintobor's personality was somehow imprinted on a Golden Ring. Porker Lewis was able to use this Golden Ring to create the Kintobor Computer.

Over the years, Sonic absorbed a great deal of Ring Energy from the Golden Rings, leaving excess energies within him. According to Tails though, this Ring Energy was also responsible for Sonic's first transformation into Super Sonic, although Sonic had absorbed so much Ring Energy that later transformations were caused purely by stress.

Robotnik was able to use the Golden Rings of Mobius to power his Neutrino Accelerator, a device that literally sucked up all the planet's rings until Sonic destroyed it. Years later, Tails arranged the delivery of several massive Golden Rings from the Eldorado Zone in order to catch Sydney Bland. When Bland tried to steal them, their weight kept him from escaping and he was put in jail.
