To simplify and end this debate, WoG is only valid so long as nothing contradicts it. If a feat or a scene is shown to contradict the WoG then the WoG CAN be dismissed because proof is shown to say otherwise. 1: WoG says Sonic can't swim. Since there is proof shown AND nothing is proven to contradict that, it can't be dismissed.

2: WoG says Sonic needs rings to turn into Super Sonic. Scenes like Sonic 2, Sonic Advance 3, and pretty much ANY cutscenes any game shows...Sonic is NEVER seen using rings to do so and no proof suggests that he ever had any on him or else they would have let us know that. Rules even says that if Sonic gets hurt then he loses rings and that has happened more than once and yet he not only turns into Super Sonic despite that, he always spawn with 50 rings (Except Sonic Unleashed where he spawns with 12) disregarding that every level he starts with 0 rings and that no proof suggests where and how he got 50 rings. Either way, Sonic needing rings to turn into Super Sonic can be disregarded because of so much proof contradicting such statement.

3: WoG says that Sonic's Super Form has a time limit. If this was true, then his super form would dissipate regardless how much rings Sonic has (Meaning the super form would have its own timer rather than relying on rings as the timer). I've done the math and if Sonic has 999 rings, it would last him 16m39s. 9,999 rings is 2h46m39s and if the super form can only be used for a short time it would last ANYWHERE less than 3 minutes because anything above 10m is not a short time. Now, you'll probably say the time limit is based on how much rings he has but #2 covers that. Despite that there is no proof to suggest that if Sonic ever had any rings, it causes a contradiction because either way, the super form can last as long as either Sonic has rings or the fact that he can transform without proof that he ever had rings in the first place which questions if Sonic can last 2h46m39s which brings up if Super Sonic really does have a time limit or lasts for a short time.

In the end, if WoG is going to state something there needs to be proof to back it up or nothing can contradict with it or else it can be dismissed. In some cases it doesn't need proof but if the proof lacks or demands evidence but none can be found...again it can be disregarded. Thats how something gets retconned! Show less
