Why not have the thrown rings go up in the air and down again?

In SSBM, Link & Young Link shoot arrows like that. Why not have it like that? Or, alter the ring sprite so that it looks like a frisbee? I mean, how a donut usually lays there instead of how the incredible rings of Mobius float there?

The answer is simple, my friend: Magic fom the Chaos Emeralds.
The entire Sonic universe seems to revolve around those things... :|
(I'm responding to that last question there... The one about the donuts... Mmmm... Donuts...)

Oh, I dunno, there doesn't really have to be an explanation for how rings defy the laws of physics. After all, we have coins in mid-air in the Mario games, more often than not spinning around for no apparent reason. Do we need to come up with an explanation for that, too?

Rings don't defy the laws of physics at all. Sure they defy OUR laws of physics, but it obviously isn't defying the game's laws of physics if they are just floating there, spinning around :P.

With them, there ARE no physics... Which makes Science class MUCH esier...
