I mean, he's some weird gray thing. I don't even know what his full body looks like, so him being able to bend reality to use something on an SNES as a joystick isn't that surprising.
...I will say this. The World Rings are made of the most pure type of energy, in fact, and not evil. It is it's potentially limitless power, which, depends on the users affinity of said rings*, which could prove to be dangerous. Let me give you an example.
Once upon a time, there were two robots. One's name was Robert and one's name is Jorge. Robert found a World Ring, specifically the one of Joy. Though as Robert tried to tap into it's power, he found no fortune as he had a lack of Joy in his soul.
When he handed the ring to Jorge, who tried to do the same thing, he found success, and thus achieved a power unfathomable due to the great reserves of Joy he had. Although this was much to Robert's dismay, who moped about, until he found a Sadness ring. Out of what he presumed to be a hopeless attempt, he tried to use the Ring's power, and due to his Sadness, it worked.
Do you see, now? It is not the Rings that posess danger, it is the users. As for their locations... I am under obligation to omit that information. Now. Get. Off. My. Island.
We're not going anywhere until you--
Back, whatti miss?
....I guess we're going then. Come on, Duo.
So, you want-a to destroy-a evil? Then I'd-a say to take a closer look at-a those two you are-a holding...
WHA-!? How did-a you... Nevermind. Look-a closer at their energy signatures...
That's-a not all... Take a look at-a the other one.
You are a warrior of-a justice. You know what-a to do.
What do you..?
Wait! Purify? No way! I'm fine!? R-right, Rock!?
I'unno... sometimes you let your wild side get the better of you when you use that power of yours.
Gee, thanks for the support, old chum.
Duo, we don't have to do this. Lor- someone... told me that this power belonged to an entity from another universe who could corrupt and take the form of others, and was bent on global domination. But he isn't me. Even as a last resort, it's a part of me now. I've lived with it and it's brought me back from the dead. And if it's your goal to take it away and destroy it...
Then you'll have to force it out of me.
Hey, you two were the frontrunners of that group of robot masters that tried to wreck everything, right?
Those guys are probably still causing havoc while we're partying in here. Do you think there's a way you could convince them to... You know. Not do that?
Augh!
...Nice try. But this energy of mine is also gives me a bit of psychic resilience. Now, where was I?
