I've never been able to collect all the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 3, or Knuckles. That's why I think Sonic doesn't actually get them in canon (except for the intro to Sonic 3 where he flies there as Super Sonic, and apparently Sonic & Knuckles as it's the only way to the final boss but I can't find half the Special Zones so I just go through them without having to worry about it)

The trick to beating Eggman's Death Egg Robot is to hit him when he is as low as possible, and to time it right. Though I agree they should have given you rings for the fight. Ironically the final boss of the hardest game of the four is the easiest (just stay as far right as possible, avoid his attacks, and when he happens to be in the one nearest you, attack)

I guess Eggman is faster than Sonic.

And Sonic probably hold the position of the series with my favorite soundtrack of ever
