'''Special Stages''', also called as '''Special Zones''',<ref group=Note>Although titled as Special Stages in manuals, results screen and [[Time Attack]] menu refers them as Special Zones.</ref> in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'' are a series of [[Special Stage|special levels]]. The method to access the Special Stages is the same as the [[Special Stage (Sonic the Hedgehog 16-Bit)|Special Stages]] in [[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (1991)]]: Sonic must jump into a [[Giant Ring]] hovering above a [[Signpost]] at the end of each [[Zone]], while having obtained at least fifty [[Ring]]s before reaching the goal.

−
Once the player enters the Special Stage, the player is standing on a flat square pseudo 3D board with each stage featuring different layout and visual setting viewed on parallax background. The player's goal is to destroy all six of the hovering [[UFO]]s constantly moving around the stage within 100 seconds. As the playable character starts to move constantly, the player can turn around by pushing left and right on {{Directional Pad}}, as well performing the [[Spin Jump]] to leap another side of the board or destroy UFOs. The playable character can jump higher, depending if the player pushes {{A Button (Sega Genesis)}}, {{B Button (Sega Genesis)}} or {{C Button (Sega Genesis)}} down.
 +
When entering the Special Stage, the player stands on a square, pseudo-3D board. The player is then tasked to destroy all six [[UFO]]s that hover around the stage within 100 seconds. Since the playable characters are constantly running here, the player can only turn left and right with the {{Directional Pad}} and use the [[Spin Jump]] to leap or destroy UFOs.
   
−
Moving around grassy sections of the board decreases the player's movement. The square board is surrounded by water, the main obstacle found in all stages. Touching the water deceases 10 seconds from the timer, as the player has to jump over water between parts of the board. Destroying regular UFOs can grant two types of extra items: [[Power Sneakers (power-up)|Sneakers]], that gives an extra amount of speed for short amount of time to reach next UFO quickly or [[Super Ring]]s, that gives 10 extra [[Ring]]s. When the timer hits 20 seconds, a single blue UFO will appear over the center of the board. Destroying it grants Time Up item which adds 30 seconds to the timer. There are gimmicks set around the Special Stage, that the player can use as advantage to navigate through square boards to reach UFOs.
 +
Running on the grassy sections of the boards lowers the player's movement, while touching the water surrounding the boards will decrease the player's time by ten seconds. Destroying different [[UFO]]s will also grant different [[Special Stage (Sonic the Hedgehog CD)#Items|power-ups]]. There are likewise various gimmicks set around the Special Stages that the player can use to navigate the boards and reach UFOs.
   
−
If the player doesn't manage to destroy UFO's at the time, he/she will exit the Special Stage. Destroying all six UFOs rewards the player with fallen [[Time Stone]] and the player exits the Special Stage. The player's Ring and Time Bonuses are tallied up to the Total Score based on how well the player's performance. As the player receives all Time Stones, the [[Zone|Round]]'s Bad Future alternates automatically into the Good Future in Zone 3 or if the player uses [[Time Warp Plate]]s to travel into the future. The player will clear from the next Zone onward given with a Good Future and he/she will be unable to enter Special Stages. The game's ending also changes drastically.
 +
If the player fails to destroy all the UFOs in time, they will exit the Special Stage. Destroying all six UFOs rewards the player with a [[Time Stone]] that falls into the playable character's possession. As the player exits the Special Stage, their Ring and Time Bonuses (based on the player's performance) are added to their Total Score. Should the player collect all seven Time Stones, the [[Zone|Round]]'s Bad Futures in each Zone automatically change to Good Futures. However, the player cannot enter the Special Stages again in normal gameplay. The game's ending will also change drastically.

Revision as of 06:57, 20 September 2019

Special Stages,[1] also called Special Zones,[Note 1] in Sonic the Hedgehog CD are a series of seven extra levels. In order to access them, the player must jump into the Giant Ring that appears at the end of each Zone while in possession of at least fifty Rings.

The objective in the Special Stages is to chase down and destroy all six UFOs in each of them. The player will then be rewarded with one of the seven Time Stones. Like destroying all robot transporters in the Zones, getting all Time Stones automatically changes each Round's Bad Future to a Good Future.

Description

The Special Stages are ominous environments with winding roads on top of pools. Each stage features different layout and futuristic visual setting viewed from a parallax background.

Gameplay

When entering the Special Stage, the player stands on a square, pseudo-3D board. The player is then tasked to destroy all six UFOs that hover around the stage within 100 seconds. Since the playable characters are constantly running here, the player can only turn left and right with the Controlpadds and use the Spin Jump to leap or destroy UFOs.

Running on the grassy sections of the boards lowers the player's movement, while touching the water surrounding the boards will decrease the player's time by ten seconds. Destroying different UFOs will also grant different power-ups. There are likewise various gimmicks set around the Special Stages that the player can use to navigate the boards and reach UFOs.

If the player fails to destroy all the UFOs in time, they will exit the Special Stage. Destroying all six UFOs rewards the player with a Time Stone that falls into the playable character's possession. As the player exits the Special Stage, their Ring and Time Bonuses (based on the player's performance) are added to their Total Score. Should the player collect all seven Time Stones, the Round's Bad Futures in each Zone automatically change to Good Futures. However, the player cannot enter the Special Stages again in normal gameplay. The game's ending will also change drastically.

Items

Three items are available in the Special Stage, each of which are hidden inside UFOs:

  • Super Ring[4] (スピードアツブ[5] Supīdoatsubu?, lit. "Speed Up"): Gives the player twenty Rings, or a multiple of twenty Rings if the player hits more than one ring UFO in succession. UFOs containing Super Rings are identified by their yellow stripes. The player can get a maximum of 300 Rings here if they consecutively hit all 4 UFOs containing Super Rings.
  • Sneakers[4] (スピードアップ[5] Supīdoappu?, lit. "Speed Up"): Makes the playable character run faster. UFOs containing Super Rings are identified by their white stripes.
  • Time Bonus[4] (タイムアップ[5] Taimuappu?, lit. "Time Up"): Extends the time limit. This is only available in a blue UFO that appears in the center of the Special Stage once the time limit drops below twenty seconds, and is not available in Time Attack mode. Destroying it will not contribute to the total number of UFOs required to complete the Special Stage.

Time Attack

Special Stages can be replayed in Time Attack after the player clears Time Attack in less than 30'21"05. Pressing left on Controlpadds on the menu screen will view a list of the game's seven Special Stages. Unlike in regular Zones, Special Stages in Time Attack have the "Next" option removed from the top menu.

In Time Attack, the gameplay of the Special Stages has been changed slightly: the time limit is removed and water will not affect the player's progress. Blue UFOs are also not present here.

Trivia

Scdextra

A secret Special Stage.

  • By adjusting the codes FM#07, PCM#07, DA#07 (PCM#07, DA#07 for the 1996 PC release) in the Sound Test and pressing START button, it will activate a secret Special Stage with its own board layout and a gigantic Eggman head looking at the screen from the horizon. Completing this secret Special Stage will unlock additional credits where the development staff behind the game's Special Stages are included.
  • The 2011 re-release of Sonic the Hedgehog CD features consistent 60 FPS frame-rate that support the widescreen format during the Special Stages. The re-release also includes the following alterations:
    • The UFOs that carry the Sneakers are blue, most likely to better differentiate them from the purple ones, which carry Super Rings. In the original, gold and silver stripes on the UFOs (which could only be seen close up) indicated this difference.
    • In the Special Stages, the "warning" sound for when time is running out starts when four seconds are remaining, as opposed to the original's fourteen seconds.
    • In order to access the Special Stage's Time Attack, the player has to select the "Next" icon, rather than pressing left on Controlpadds.
