Special Zone, Sonic & Knuckles

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles both contain individual Bonus Stages which are accessible only by passing a Star Post with a certain number of Rings. Sonic 3 & Knuckles contains all 3 of these stages, which are still accessible by passing the Star Post.

Sonic 3 Bonus Stage

Gumball Machine

Accessed by passing any Star Post with 50 Rings or above, this Bonus Stage consists of a large vertical space with a gumball machine at the top, one-time-use Metropolis Zone-style bumpers on the sides, and springs at the bottom. It is possible to turn Super in this Bonus Stage by jumping at the right time, just when the stage loads, but only in Sonic 3 alone. Spheres come out of the gumball machine and have a variety of effects:
