Other than that monitor, I don't think there are any that are particularly difficult for Sonic to get, and I don't believe there are any inaccessible rings either, so Sonic could theoretically complete an ideal score attack of ERZ2. The route would be a little weird - you'd have to start by taking the right path and getting the lives behind the lava fall, then double back and take the left path so you can get the whirlwind shield for the trick on the right path.
You could use the Invincibility to get the lava fall lives without losing Whirlwind, but that seems like a more dangerous strat and it would mean losing a couple of points from chaining enemies while invincible. On the other hand it might be faster... but I don't think even in a TAS it would be possible to get enough time bonus to matter. Honestly I'd be surprised if you could even get under 9:59, considering almost zero of the usual shortcuts are usable if you want to get every ring+life.
