True. so the big mystery is why does he needs gold rings to susta9in the form.

My only logical answer is the small miniscule of power each ring goes into mentally sustaining the form while the chaos emeralds power only transform him physically, but Sonic needs the willpower to keep the form, which he cannot do. Thus why the gold rings.

My only logical explanation why Super Sonic nees more than unlimited ultimate power to be Super Sonic.
