^ I get what you're saying. Actually, I was thinking of the same thing. Because once you get to the Mushroom Hill Zone (stage 7 I believe) and jump into the super ring, you're transported to the hidden palace zone and lose your Chaos Emeralds, and they turn into the Super Emeralds. So you lose your Super Form, but you can get the Super Emeralds to go into your Hyper Form. So it's no doubt that the Super Emeralds are actually the Chaos Emeralds.

| Of course, the Super Emeralds had to stay in the Master Emerald Shrine, unlike the Chaos Emeralds. At this point, it would be false to say the Emeralds would have to be next to the Master Emerald to give power, as during Sonic/Tails playthrough, Robotnik ends up stealing the Master Emerald after the fight with Knuckles. During the Sky and Death Egg stages, you can still turn Hyper. |
But don't you find it weird that in the Sky and Death Egg stages that there were no Super Rings? That if you don't get the Super Emeralds before Sky you're pretty much screwed? To me, it felt that the Master Emerald is needed for you to get that form, otherwise Sonic would still be able to get Super Emeralds.
