Yet Chaos and Shadow have Chaos Powers tha can be used without the Chaos Emeralds.Shadow even said in Sonic Battle that he does not need it although that somewhat contradicts with Chaos Control.

For Super Sonic, you said that we do not see if Sonic collects rings but that wouldn't make sense since they don't say anything whatsoever about rings in the cut scenes or make any implications towards it.

In Sonic 2 you do not automatically switch to Tails. After you beat the final boss you have 0 rings Sonic is falling to the Earth.  HOW is he going to grab anything besides the Master Emerald when he's falling to the Earth? After Tails catches him he goes Super Sonic...simple as that. Sonic needs no rings my man. Also look at the bad ending, same thing happens but it shows Sonic falling right after he jumped from the death egg, and in the good ending, it shows Sonic after the jump now as Super Sonic. Look in Sonic Advance 3, it was telling you that Sonic has no rings yet he got hit and still turned Super Sonic.
