So I heard the Super Emeralds were a gimmick...

    I must be the only one who thought Saz was joking at first, and interpreted the "present proof" statement as an inability to accept sarcasm. =/

    But yeah, SRSLY, save the gay furry talk for the thread on Sonic being real. Same crowd, samn ideals.

    If that's the case, then that makes them both canon and a gimmick..in about the same league as the super form itself. It adds a little to the story and enhances the gameplay.

    Well damn...now I gotta revert that retcon statement. :/

    They were canon to Sonic 3, and pretty much Sonic 3 alone. Whether or not they still exist in the Sonic universe is up for debate, but they serve no purpose in future Sonic games unless the creators decide to write them back in for one reason or another (unlikely as Sonic team hasn't shown any traditional super form since SA1's last story).

    Jokes like that aren't often.... appreciated in places like here.

    For the same reason, I leave my bizarre non-sequitors and puns at home.

    Except when attacking things which are dumb. Then it becomes really really fun.

    But, yeah, the Super Emeralds are what they are; the gimmick title is unofficial and based on speculation. After all, if what Saz said is true, then its unlikely they hurled it in as some random game feature. Who says they won't reappear suddenly? Sonic Team is prone to digging into past games to make new ones. After all, Sonic Heroes borrows heavily on Chaotix.

    In either way, the canon and how things relate to it in Sonic games rarely follows logic, so for all we know it could wind up being something important, or even dismissed from even existing, or... whatever.

    Well, I always just said that none of the enemies have been powerful enough for a need for the Super Emeralds. Think about it, Sonic 3K was the last game where Eggman was the final final boss (other than the Adv series and Rush, though in Rush, Blaze was there too). SA=Perfect Chaos, SA2= Finalhazard, SH=Metal Madness, and there were 12 heroes there, S06=Solaris, 3 super hedgehogs. It seems like Eggman's the only person capable of making something stronger than Super Sonic.

    I know I'm wrong, but...meh.

    I personally think...if I locked on Sonic 3 to Sonic and Knuckles and got nothing extra I would have been pissed. End of story.
