Sonic's final boss in Sonic & Knuckles inovles chasing Robotnik in outer space while collecting rings (Note: you only stay as Super Sonic when you have rings, but the catch is Super Sonic automatically drains your rings; lose all your rings in this level and you die) and avoiding meteors and Robotnik's attaacks, which slows you down - costing you precious rings. There's two ways to look cool while fighting this boss: beat the boss as fast as possible (not as cool), or collect as many rings as possible while fighting it (much cooler; I've seen someone collect over 120 rings before, keep in mind that you start the level with 50 rings).
