FYI - Sonic Advance has a flip move you can do that DRAMATICALLY increases your hitbox. It's a big help, and lets you do stuff like collect all the rings in those squares you fell through, and guarantee hitting all rings in a path. Not saying it's all that great a special stage, since I didn't like it much either, just the flip move makes it a lot more bearable, and I find is practically required to get through.

I’m glad to see Sonic Mania’s special stages made first place but on a related note, I feel it’s worth mentioning that the special stages in Sonic Mania Encore deserve recognition; the increased difficulty and bigger maps made it all the more rewarding when you finally got all seven. In Mania mode, most of the emeralds can be acquired at a Mach 2 Speed if you take the right route whereas with Encore mode, the only emeralds I was able to get at Mach 2 were Stages 5 and 6 while the others required Mach 3 because of how far away the UFOs start from Sonic.

And I was really surprised that the Sonic 3 and Knuckles' special stages didn't reach the #1 spot because in my opinion, those were literally the greatest special stages in all of Sonic games!

For me the sonic mania blue spheres broke me by making me get the rings first so I don’t rank it that high sadly. Other than that one level where there is no way to go backwards cuz the entire thing hallways made of spheres that with the part that you need to use those yellow spheres at the correct angle or ur dead I can see why you all liked it. Mania is still my #1 no matter what tho

I'm glad to see some love for the 3D Blast Genesis special stage. I recently played through the game again, making sure to get all the chaos emeralds, and the special stages were a seriously fun time. 3D Blast as a whole is just a really great game once you get the hang of the controls.

I'm not sure Sonic is "pushing the plane himself" when you get the blue ring. I think it's a afterburner/jet upgrade, and the implication is that the plane is now going so fast that the character has to hold on for dear life.

Im surprised you didnt mention the Game Land stages from Sonic Colors, while they would probably be lower on the list because they're basically regular stages, you do still get chaos emeralds from them. And a neat little easter egg is that some of the layouts are references to classic Sonic levels on Genesis.
@noveltyman6723 Жыл бұрын
When I first played the Master System version of Sonic 1, I didn't even know what the purpose of this game's special stages was, since you collect the emeralds by finding them hidden in the regular stages instead. Probably only for more score, extra lives and continues, which doesn't change the fact that the game is still pretty easy once you memorize the levels' layout and make a strategy on how to fight the bosses.
