Bonus Stage

From Sonic Retro

Revision as of 16:47, 10 January 2005 by Ss is testing (talk | contribs) (Labelling them makes more sense than numbers.)

Bonus stages, which only appear in Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Spinball and Sonic Advance 3, are used to gain extra points, rings, shields and/or lives.

Sonic 3 bonus stage

  • Name: Gumball Machine
  • Location: checkpoint with 50 rings
  • Gains: rings, shields, lives
  • Layout: A large vertical space with a gumball machine at the top, Metropolis Zone-style bumpers on the sides, and springs on the bottom. Spheres come out of the gumball machine: clear - nothing, black - bounces you off it, pink 1-up - extra life, green "REP" - replaces the springs at the bottom, blue/red/yellow "B" - shield (water, fire, lightning respectively), grey ring - 10 rings.

Sonic & Knuckles bonus stage

Glowing Spheres

  • Location: checkpoint with 20 rings
  • Gains: rings, shields, lives
  • Layout: Bumpers and flippers on the sides, magnetic balls, star bumpers, rings and grey circle thingies in the middle, and a rising laser thing that will knock you out of the stage when you touch it. Touching one of the grey circle things will change it into a sphere that are the same as the ones from the Sonic 3 bonus stage.
