 * AoSTH Chaos Emeralds each had a unique shape and power which they would grant their holder, often when specific conditions are done. The Quest for the Chaos Emeralds was it's saga about the emeralds, though the episode Fast and Easy introduced a Chaos Emerald fitted onto a ring.
 * SatAM did not have any Chaos Emeralds. Closest to their equivilent the cartoon had were the Deep Power Stones.
 * Sonic Underground Chaos Emeralds functioned more like the Master Emerald. Large, green and mostly use to keep large mass airborn. Power from these emeralds were often green and when broken would release apocalyptic energy to Mobius. The Secrets of the Chaos Emerald has Chaos Emerald saga.
 * Sonic X Chaos Emeralds were more inspired by canon Chaos Emeralds, though their radiation would interfere with machines and would often react with disperse of light and energy when emeralds are near each other. The majority of it's seasons were emerald sagas.
 * Chaos Crystals from Sonic Boom are the recent cartoon versions of the emeralds. They've yet appeared in the cartoons, though I am hoping the TV show will have it's own "emerald saga" someday.

The Sonic X emeralds were pretty powerful. Though the most powerful ones are the Sonic Underground ones. Just look at the disasters that occur when one breaks. Not to mention the powerful lasers it can create. I don't think the Sonic Boom emeralds are going to be that powerful but let's wait and see anyway. I think the Sonic Underground Chaos Emeralds double as "Master Emeralds" as well. So, I'm going to assume any Dues Ex Machina performed by those emeralds is really "here's the answer to all your problems, go nuts" kind of thing? yeah thats pretty much what happened in the Chaos Emerald Crisis arc.
