Super mystic sonic
The Golden Blur
They obviously don't deserve it if it takes them almost no effort to get the Emeralds in the first place. There's a difference between being a hard-to-control speed freak and being a slow and easy-maneuverable flying fox. A big difference.
I agree with this. Hence why you shouldn't be able to go Super as Tails or Knuckles in Single Player.(Maybe as a console command that makes the game say it's modified, so people can play around a bit, but that's about it.) You can't change anything without having the game say you modified the game, and only somebody skilled enough to get through all levels, collect all tokens, AND beat the special stages as the hard-to-play-as Sonic, can go Super Sonic.
But in Netgames, the skin switching, setrings, setlives, the amount of people able to collect rings at once, everything makes it too easy anyways. Someone who played as Tails and Knuckles all the way would go to Sonic suddenly JUST for his Super power. Ya gotta admit, it takes the specialness away when 6 people are Super Sonic even though they were all Tails and Knuckles before.
So there's no point to keep it Super Sonic only there. Not in skin-switching netgames, at least.
