Why there isn't any ring in the final level ?

Improvement over the original game, still full of crap tbf

I see now why people like Sonic games, such a vast improvement over the original game. Just about every level is fun and the bonus levels are actually tolerable! I played as Amy in the Origins edition and got all the Chaos emeralds this time. OST is a banger for sure.

The final boss is one of those rare cases of being so easy it's hard, took me like 7 tries without any rings and felt like an idiot for not hitting the eggbot in the right spot.

By just about every metric Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a superior game to it's predecessor. This is the game where SEGA leaned-into Sonic's speed. Thanks to the new, genius spin dash mechanic and the vast, sprawling levels (with lots of thrilling ramps and loop-de-loops that aid in building momentum), the game feels satisfyingly fast to blast through. The run of levels, starting with Emerald Hill and ending with Mystic Cave, is unbelievably fun.

The brighter, bolder graphics feel like a step up from the first game and I think the soundtrack is better too. There are no misses, every tune is great. The addition of some little extras (a second playable character, a nice little competition mode, a treat for collecting all of the chaos emeralds) is just the cherry on top.

If you think Sonic The Hedgehog, this game should come to mind. It takes what worked on Sonic 1 and focuses soley on that. Not more slow platforming, only fast paced momentum based gameplay. The game starts to fall apart when Sky Chase starts, and from that point to the end it's not that good. Nevertheless, it's the most defining Sonic game in desing, music and aesthetic.

I refuse to acknowledge that I have enjoyed more Sonic than not. I am NOT a Sonic Fan, I swear

It has moments of genius design, amazing soundtrack, it fixes the first one, but god it still has a lot of dumb level design, it tries to be a traditional plattaformer very hard, thing that it can't arvhieve bc the way the game is designed
