Fun fact: psilocybin shrooms were legal in Japan up until 2002 (because of the FIFA World Cup and their expectation to receive a lots of foreigners, Japan's government was asked to make them part of the illegal drugs).

I only manage to get all 7 emeralds in Sonic 2 once. with Knuckles

To be honst, all it takes is memorization, usually the rings appear in a certain pattern too. The challenge comes with the fact that in the later levels there's almost no error margin so if you miss a few rings you're out.
I also used to think Tails made this harder, but then again it's true that you don't lose rings as Sonic even if tails get hit... however, I seem to recall using both Sonic and Tails raised the required amount of rings per roung, but can't remember how true is tuat.

Sonic CD's UFO bonus levels are frustrating as hell mostly because some of the UFOs are a bitch and dodge all the time.

Sonic 1's bonus stages are the ones I completed the most. They're not as fun because it's mostly a pinball-like kind of minigame, but I love the music and psychedelic visuals. Playing that back in the day felt otherworldly.
