Sonic collects rings because sega responded to how popular mario was by copying the coin collecting mechanic and chose rings instead to not make it too obvious.

Pretty sure its because the rings canonically have a special power inside them, which is why they tend to float or spin at least.

(or its just cause the developers wanted you to collect something and a circular golden ring would be the most impressive sprite to have in your game since it would require a lot of detailing)

Why does crash collect fruits? Why does Spyro collects gems?

This is just a videogame thing, no special logic intended

Sonice sounds like Sonic X Ice cube tray.

My Uncle works at Sega. I played Sonic Mania on the Dreamcast 2 and you get to shoot Mario with a gun.

It probably has something to do with Sega wanting to show of the graphical power of the Genesis at the time. The rings spin and you can look through them into the background. That was probably impressive at the time.

Yep, as explained in the comics, the rings were a conductive component in a machine built to utilise the power of the Chaos Emeralds - when the machine malfunctioned and exploded (empowering Sonic and causing him to turn blue, as well as turning Dr Robotnik maniacally evil), the rings were scattered around the landscape. The infusion of Chaos energy keeps them floating and spinning.
