There are three different versions of the special stages among the different versions of the game, but all three involve the same basic premise as the special stages from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. If Sonic has over fifty rings, or supplies them with fifty rings or more with multiple visits, he is warped to a special stage.

When stood next to, they take all the rings currently in Sonic's possession. In order to access these stages, either Knuckles or Tails must be located within the regular levels. Blue and pink/orange ones make an effort to find Sonic, while green and red ones wander off at random, the latter even jumping about, making them harder to re-collect.Īs in previous Sega Genesis Sonic games, special stages are the means to collecting the Chaos Emeralds.

Each individual flicky's color determines how it behaves. If Sonic or the flickies are hit by an obstacle or enemy, the flickies scatter. Every Zone has three Acts, 2 involving standard levels, and the third Act being a boss fight against Robotnik, without any flicky-collecting involved. Once he collects all five flickies from each section of an Act, he is either further advanced into the Act, or taken to the next Act. Sonic must find and destroy these robots located around the zones, and bring the flickies inside them to large rings. He learns that they can travel anywhere using large rings, so he decides to exploit them by turning them into robots to help him search for the Chaos Emeralds. In the game, Doctor Robotnik discovers mysterious birds called flickies that live on an island in an alternate dimension.

It was developed in the United Kingdom by Traveller's Tales and published by Sega.
