I think every other boss in the game has some rings before it? Genuinely puzzling decision to exclude them, especially considering that it would still be quite challenging with rings.
I mean, if I was a final boss and I knew my rival was going to enter my lair and kick my ass, I wouldn't want them to be able to survive any extra hits.
i'm waiting
The bossfight at the end of Sonic 2 is a bullshit difficulty curve, you should be able to get at least one ring
Fr without save states that boss is BS

At least 3 had the Sonic's invincibility flash.
Absolute bane of my childhood and I will never forgive Sonic Team for that nonsense. Should've at least dropped a 3 pack of rings before Metal Sonic.
