Here's an interesting tidbit about the final boss. If you time it JUST right when he's walking and when both spiked hands are in the middle, you can a hit with each step and kill him quickly. This method is VERY risky, but I've mastered it.

Mystic Cave Zone's boss usually spelled the end for me. No rings. As for Death Egg Zone's final boss, beating Robotnik with Sonic was much easier than beating him with Tails.

Usually Metropolis screwed me over thanks to those dammed exploding starfish and mantis things.
Or drowning on that aztec cave level.

My favourite thing to do in Sonic 2 was speeding far away from that douchebag Tails and seeing how long it takes him to catch up. The manual says Tails is supposed to be Sonic's equal, hah!

Son of a bitch bastard ass slut Death Egg! RAAAAAAR!
...Honestly, I'm just not very good at Sonic games. It takes great perseverance from me to get far in the games, and I never seem to pick up the right kinds of reflexes needed for the patterns. It's a bit of a black eye on my gaming rep.

I just got the Mega Collection for PS2 last week. I was never allowed a Genesis (maybe becuse I was about 4), unfortunately my best so far is Level 2 Act 2.
I haven't played it much because got FFXII at the same time

You think so? Try beating him with Knuckles. I have. It's much more time-consuming, since you have to wait for Robotnik to hit the ground then hit him while he crouches back into a standing position. Not for the patient.

I make it as far as the Wing Fortress, which seems a silly place to stop playing. I hope I saved it there, I should go try again.

the only genesis sonic games i can't beat regularly are 3D blast (mostly because i've never owned it long enough to bother), and Spinball (though i can get to the last stage).

I can beat Sonic 1 and 2 on a fairly regular basis. Though, as a kid I used to get my ass handed to me by the boss just before Death Egg, with the moving platforms and the laser blaster dealy.

My end is at the Death Egg. I never really figured out that huge giant Mecha-Robotnik.
I still have my Genesis and copy of Sonic 2...perhaps I should dig it back out and try to beat it.

I was never able to beat the game with Knuckles.
The "jump over his bladed hands and hit his tummy" routine didn't work for Knuckles.
Damn kid and his lack of jumping ability.

I'm awful. I always die on the 2nd stage with the water rising.

I have a confession to make.
I NEVER beat Sonic two as a kid. Once, I made it ALL the way to the very last level. I was like 6 years old. Best day ever. And I don't exactly remember how, but I got STUCK somewhere and had no clue what to do. Then my mom was just rushing me and my sister (she was like 4 at the time) who were just busting our asses trying to figure out what to do. We eventually just had to turn the game off because my mom was rushing us so much.
That was the only time I even MADE it to the last level. Never got that far again...

Best rule of thumb for Sonic 2 is that you should always try to work upward. The non-linear levels are the best place for this (Oil Ocean Zone comes to mind). But as long as you're trying to move upward to higher platforms, it always seems to get you to the end. I'm always in the Death Egg with the last boss. Everything else I can handle, even when horribly out of practice since forever ago. For me, I can get most of the way through with little to no problems, but I always meet my end at Mystic Caves Zone Act 2, usually on the boss. I've beaten him a few times but it's always been a major pain in the arse, because if you die, there's almost no rings before or after the checkpoint. Odd topic I know, it came to me in the shower o.O You know that when you press down on the D-pad on this boss, the spikes that fall from the roof don't hurt you, right? At least, that's how I remember it. I always found that boss to be pretty simplistic. Dodge a couple spikes, dodge Eggman, and get a couple hits in when you can. But it's been a while. Actually no, I did not know that. I figured the spikes were just death either way. That would help a lot, I was just running/jumping away from them.

I remember playing it years ago, but I don't remember what happens after that ocean of oil level

AS a kid I could never beat it. I got to the Death Egg once or twice and totally owned Metal Sonic, by then I usually had one life and jumped right into giant Robotniks claw thingies. Since I got it recently for the Virtual Console I've been beating it constantly, I suck at the special stages though.
