Because, in this case, we aren't dealing with the Chaos Emeralds: we're dealing with the Master Emerald itself. The Master Emerald controls the Chaos Emeralds, but it doesn't control itself, is my guess.
Alright here's my response, well this is simple to disprove.
Knuckles has shown the capibility of shattering the master emerald in Sonic adventure 2 so that means he most likely has control over the "master energy" within the master emerald so he can most likely just punch the energy out of Mecha Sonic to force Mecha Sonic out of his super form so still the question stands,
why wouldn't Knuckles just force Mecha Sonic out of his super form instead of just waiting patiently for Mecha Sonic's super form to run out?
though don't worry chezi I'll get to you at some point

In response to Basic Bronze Sonic’s theories about the timeline placement, there’s a lot of evidence that contradicts it. I’d like to state beforehand that interviews with the game’s creators, while they may seem informing, have been known to contradict and confuse facts established within the games and manuals.
1. Timeline Placement
The beginning of the timeline is laid out like this: 1-2-CD-3&K. Because there’s a large gap of time between 2 and 3, that leaves enough space for CD to fit as well as explain how Metal Sonic was superior to Mecha Sonic. After 3&K, the main timeline would go towards Chaotix (where Metal Sonic reappears) and then continue with the rest of the games starting with Adventure. In the Classic Timeline, the Time Eater picks up Classic Sonic after 3&K, making his timeline go as the following: 1-2-CD-3&K-Gens-Chaotix-Mania. This also brings me to my next point...
2. Classic Sonic comes from after 3&K.
This is simply shown from the fact that he knows how to deal with Metal Sonic and the Death Egg Robot. This explains why they have different fights, with Metal Sonic’s not being a race as Robotnik chases them and the Death Egg Robot being in a different room. Also, just because he was picked up from Green Hill Zone doesn’t mean that is during Sonic 1. Green Hill has been stated to be his favorite place to run because of the hills and loops.
3. Sonic didn’t meet Tails until Sonic 2
This is simply a fact that was ignored lol
So what does this mean?
Knuckles simply pulled a fast one on Sonic during 3&K. It’s quite possible that Sonic hasn’t been using the Chaos Emeralds during that gap because we don’t see them during CD. My guess is that Tails stayed behind and studied them as Sonic took a vacation to visit Little Planet, only to realize that Robotnik took it over. Sonic’s clear lack of understanding of how they work is what Knuckles took advantage of in that opening scene.
P.S. It does seem true that Generations, the game with the least amount of story, seems to have an answer to almost every lore related question
Alright so this does disprove some of my theories (primarily this and this) but it does also support my "careless super Sonic because Chezi's explanation makes it to where Sonic is even more inexperienced with the chaos emeralds and knows even less about the chaos emeralds so in the intro of S3NK Sonic wouldn't have a care in the world about anything because he would be thinking that he is unstoppable with the power of the seven chaos emeralds with him which would still lead to him letting his guard down and we'll... getting the P U N C H , now of course it doesn't effect this theory but surprisingly it doesn't really effect this theory by that much either.
You see, super Sonic is entirely invincible while in the super form so the fact that Knuckles can simply just punch the super out of Sonic would mean that he can literally just one punch almost everything considering the fact that most things in the Sonic universe are usually not invincible so that would still make Knuckles well... the strongest character in the entirety of the main game Sonic universe (yeah eat your heart out super shadow) so time eater taking the classic Sonic from afterwards of S3NK doesn't disprove the very strong Knuckles theory.
Well that's all of my theories so far that is note worthy so all of my theories/responses that I didn't mention are not affected by Chezi's explanation so thank you for reading.
