Free One distinctive and recurring feature of Sonic games are the collectible golden Rings (sometimes referred to as Gold Rings or Power Rings) spread throughout the levels. This gameplay device allows players possessing at least one ring to survive upon sustaining damage from an enemy or hazardous object. Instead of dying, the player's rings are sacrificed; in most Sonic games, a hit will cause the player to lose all of their rings, although in certain situations (such as the Special Stages in Sonic the Hedgehog 2) and throughout certain games (such as Sonic Triple Trouble, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic Blast) a hit only costs a set number of rings rather than the entire collection. In more recent games, usually only 20 rings are now lost.

I have one theory that the rings spin the other way on the opposite pole of the world. Wherever European origin story or that the rings hold any connections with Chaos Emeralds, I believed that the energy that they are charged with have incredibly powered the Diamagnetism of the rings. Gold is a diamagnetic metal which, unlike magnetic metals, pushes away than attracts. It's hard to explain it all, but diamagnetism is usually weak with experemints on making dimples in water or levitate certain earth materials. My theory is that Chaos energy has effected the diamagnetism properties of gold that the rings are made from which causes the rings themselves to levitate as well as "hang" on to the planets polarity to stabalise them (I think), so it maybe possible that on the lower side of the planet, the rings spin the other way. I will have to check the next time I play Sonic Unleashed, though keep in mind the planet was at up-most catastrophy at the time.

In certain comics and cartoons it says that rings are created from Chaos energy, that these Power Rings are not made from gold but that chaos energy in a solid state takes the form of yellow shiny metal rings. I don't buy this theory, even if Chaos energy being the most unpredictable power in all series. What I do consider is that there maybe a "multiplying process" somewhere and my bet is in the Special Zone, seeing that is the usual location of the Chaos Emeralds it is probably here "chaos" has more of an unpredictable effect so this is where the rings phenomenon occure. Rings probably return to the Special Zone once there energy is depleted (which goes into protection or sustaining super forms), but they can be stable when surrounded by other rings. This explains why: These explanations on how rings return to the Special Zone may absolutely debunk the theory on the rings multiplication, in that there is a chance Sonic has collected every ring one time or another, just at one point that ring returns to the Special Zone and then randomly returns to Earth with fellow rings fixed onto the Earths magnetism. However if this was the case, they would make terrible form of currency unless the businessman happens to be attacked to disperse the power of his savings.
 * Rings are usually found in patterns.
 * Why they dissapear when lost, they return to the Special Zone.

This is all just a theory though.--Mystic Monkey  sez 05:44, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
