So 1 depowered Super Emerald = all 7 Chaos Emeralds?

Chaos Emeralds. I could be wrong though since I didn't play it yet

Just checked, seemed like he used the Chaos Emeralds.
So if he had used all 7 Super Emeralds instead he probably could have beaten a full-strength The End by himself.

Well, you can’t transform into SS without the seven CE, so would there actually be a scenario present where you transform while only seeing a single Super Emerald in the altar?

Yeah, with one active and the other 6 being deactivated, but even with the deactivated state, Sonic can still turn into Super Sonic, so that would mean 1 Super Emerald is >= 7 Chaos Emeralds
- 5,710
- 1,651
But this isn’t a scenario like in Unleashed, the CE aren’t depowered, they’re still regular CE. So Sonic still has the equivalent of 7 Chaos Emeralds at his disposal in the altar, instead of 1 Super Emerald alone.

In Unleashed Sonic had to purify the emeralds to turn into Super Sonic. He couldn't do it without doing so. This was also the case in Sonic's Adventure where Perfect Chaos drained the emeralds' power and it's Sonic who restored them to turn into Super Sonic
Eggman also directly nullified Super Sonic by draining the emeralds, which is why he even became Werehog
- 12,068

I agree with everything

But the Emeralds aren’t drained in Sonic 3, they’re just put on an altar.

them are drained all the same, same color

The Emeralds became drained when they transformed into the Super Emeralds. That's why Sonic needed to activate them again to become Hyper Sonic.
However as we saw, even without it he becomes Super Sonic in the Doomsday Zone and the final cutscene

Shouldn't be exponential, only multiplicative. It's only exponential if we assume Super Form is a multiplier and not an additive.
- 11,851
- 4,268
tbh super sonic varies, so idk how to quantify that, should be multiplicative for simplicity's sake
- 5,807
- 3,735
Why would multiplicative be any more simple? That's a baseless assertion. Additive and multiplicative both work and don't contradict what was shown, so both COULD be the case, but we can't assert without proof
- 11,851
- 4,268
i was talking about the super emeralds sugested multiplier in the op, not the chaos emeralds
- 5,710
- 1,651
Why would the transformation drain their power if the ability to become Super comes from the Master Emerald?
- 5,807
- 3,735
Because that would make getting Hyper too easy. The whole purpose of giving the Player 7 Super Emeralds to charge in exchange for losing access to Super in normal levels is because it would make the game too easy. So they decide to null the Emeralds which you can optionally charge up to gain access to Hyper as a reward for going through 14 bonus stages.
- 5,710
- 1,651
No I mean, lore-wise what’s the explanation for the Chaos Emeralds losing power if the Master Emerald is the one initiating the transformation.
- 5,807
- 3,735
It's a Classic Sonic game. We sadly don't get an in-universe explanation. Only an out of universe explanation. We can make up head canons as to why it happens in-universe, but that's the extent of it in universe

He/Him- 11,377

Tbh, there's no explaination to why it happens, but that's how it was in the game so we have to work with what we got
- 5,710
- 1,651
Okay but, if you can’t transform into Super Sonic anymore after entering Hidden Palace and seeing the Super Emerald cutscene, how can you tell that one SE creates Super Sonic?
Gilad_Hyperstar
He/Him- 11,377
- 4,319
Because you can still access the Doomsday Zone and the final cutscene with Super Sonic even if Sonic leaves the Master Emerald shrine without activating a single super emerald
The reason why he can't in game do it is game mechanics and that the players would have a reason to collect the Super Emeralds
- 5,807
- 3,735
If you want my opinion; game mechanics. I also didn't like this idea of scaling the Super Emeralds above the Chaos Emeralds. To me, it seems the developers didn't wanna punish you for being curious and accidentally turning the Chaos Emeralds into Super Emeralds, and thus allowed you to do the final level with Super as to not **** you over
- 5,710
- 1,651
So then, instead of saying one powered Super Emerald can awaken SS, isn’t it more like 7 depowered Super Emeralds doing it?
- 11,851

hey shake, you made the blog right?

Yup, this'll be updated after the revisions are complete so don't you worry.

Actually, on closer inspection to the power cores, it seems like in the clip the rest of Team Dark is also homing attacking the enemy Shadow is attacking, so Shadow’s homing attack by itself may not be dealing six damage.
- 5,710
- 1,651
It only shows Shadow dealing four damage to the turtle in the clip, it starts at 5, goes to 1 after Shadow hits it, and is destroyed when Rouge hits it.

What is stopping this from being applied? 3 mods already agreed to this upgrade
- 11,851
- 4,268
it is getting applied tho? see shadow's profile, things like these takes time
- 5,710
- 1,651
The power core thing only seems like x4 vs x6, unless something else comes up besides that clip above.
- 6,006
- 8,652
It's talking a hot minute since certain peeps are kinda busy atm plus applying the changes to tens of profiles without errors isn't exactly a fast process.
