I recall, after you beat Sonic 3 (or S3&K), you can go to any stage and all big rings are reset. I specifically remember going to the 1st big ring in the 1st level over and over to get all the emeralds after beating and getting the normal/bad ending. I Did this with Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails all separately. Cheapens the experience a bit maybe, but it was the only way I could do it.
Oh, maybe I'll check that out. That seems like it's probably the only way I'd be able to do it, also. (Outside of save states in an emulator, which I have done before.)

Any person that can get through that can do Streets of Rage, I think. The 2 girls require back attacks to defeat with any effectiveness. Also, I always continued on the 2nd controllers when life's/continues were about up for player one. It's a means to an end anyways.
Oh, I didn't think of back attacks at all. They don't quite seem like what I typically think of as back attacks in the first SoR, so maybe that's why I didn't really use it. I ended up settling on jump kicks to deal with them, but I still can't really fight them without losing any lives, because they still hit me ever, and do all that massive damage on contact. I did end up actually going the distance with Adam, but I posted about it in the Summer Challenge thread. It was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I had no idea about the second player thing, though.
That might have saved me some frustration early on, but oh well. It led me to Adam in the end.
). I think I ordered the $99 version (who knows when), but whatever at this point. I still hope it comes through one day, but if not (or until then), WaterMelon games has a pretty bad mark on their record.
