Special Stage (Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I)
Special level, Sonic the Hedgehog 4
Number of Acts: 7
The Special Stages of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I are similar in concept to the Special Stage in Sonic 1; each stage is a rotating maze with bumpers and blocks, and a Chaos Emerald hidden somewhere. The controls use the D-pad or Analog stick by default but can be assigned to motion controls in the iOS, Wii and PS3 version.

It is not a direct copy of Sonic 1, having some key changes. Rather than moving Sonic around, the player instead moves the maze itself; Sonic now bounces off walls, and he can only jump by pressing a button to shake the maze when he's touching a wall (which causes him to bounce off it). Walls no longer deteriorate to open passages or doors as Sonic touches them. In addition, there is a time limit, which can be increased by hitting time balloons in the maze. Sonic will also have to collect a predetermined number of rings in parts of the stage to pass certain barriers to obtain the Chaos Emerald.
