The Special Stage in Sonic Advance is modeled after the bonus stages from Knuckles' Chaotix in which the player needs to collect a certain amount of rings to earn the Chaos Emerald found at the end of the stage. This is all done while sky surfing (possibly a throwback of the opening cutscene in Sonic Adventure 2 where Sonic leaps from a helicopter while riding a makeshift snowboard).

In order to access the Special Stage, you'll have to find the Special Springs scattered through each zone. They are easily recognised by their large, blue appearance, and they are in at least one act of every zone.

The acts to find them in are as follows:

  1. Neo Green Hill Zone Act 1
  2. Secret Base Zone Act 2
  3. Casino Paradise Zone Act 1
  4. Ice Mountain Zone Act 1
  5. Ice Mountain Zone Act 2
  6. Angel Island Zone Act 2
