Actually, Sonic had no rings and rings still have nothing to do with Super Sonic because they are game mechanics. Lets comare that to Shadow hover shoes that you were talking to somebody earlier before. We do not see Shadow run without his hover shoes yet it was stated and implied multiply times that he can keep up with Sonic. Wih Super Sonic, it was not stated or implied but shown that rings are canon or a part of Super Sonic. The energy are the Chaos Emeralds  and if it was not, then Sonic would not need them to transform to Super Sonic.
