The longest level in any Genesis Sonic game, Lava Reef Zone is an underground labyrinth of crystals, magma and general chaos. There are three acts to this level. The first act is a mine-type level, the second act is a crystal wonderland with flamethrowers and spiky things and the third act (only playable with Sonic or Tails) is a giant boss fight with Dr. Eggman.
To beat the boss in the first act, stay in a corner and dodge the lasers from the orbs. Try to hit them if you can, as that will eventually destroy them and that will be one less distraction from the real boss. A giant hand will follow you around, but when you see it stop, or start blinking, get away. It will come down trying to squish you, which at this point you attack the hand while it's down. Hit six times to defeat... the orbs will die in four hits.
To beat the second boss, avoid being on a platform that Dr. Eggman's missiles hit. You'll eventually get to waterfall of magma. Follow your way down and you'll get to a boss with Eggman in a tank type machine. If you can, get a fire shield before this, or go super, as it will make this a LOT easier. You'll want to jump from platform to platform to avoid falling into Dr. Eggman's ship. The machine will shoot mines into the air and if you just keep jumping platforms, the mines will hit Eggman. This has to happen 14 times before this boss is defeated.

Sonic Team Commentary (from Sonic Jam Strategy Guide)
| “ | This is the last stage a Special Ring appears in. I suppose you noticed that in both acts of this stage, the Death Egg's face appears. In the act select for Sonic 2 you could see a bit of a scene like this, but this is where you'll see the real thing. | „ |
