Secret Special Stages: Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles

This is a playthrough of the unused/secret Special Stages from Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles which I did on my phone. These special stages (with the exception of the one for S&K) are much harder to beat than the other special stages in each respective game (Sonic 1 and Sonic 3's are by far the hardest to beat).
Featuring the 7th special stage created specifically for the mobile version of Sonic 1. You can access it:
By selecting a no-save file,
Tapping "S" "E" "G" "A" when the SEGA logo appears (you should hear a ring noise).
Then on the title sreen press both of your thumbs against the areas roughly where the touchscreen in-game controls would appear (bottom left & right) and you will be transported to level select.
Then on the level select screen enter "06" on the sound-test, play the track then select "special stage" and the unused seventh special stage will play.
This special stage is really unfair.
Featuring the 8th special stage created specifically for the mobile version of Sonic 2. You can access it:
By selecting a no-save file,
Tapping "S" "E" "G" "A" when the SEGA logo appears (you should hear a ring noise).
Then on the title sreen press both of your thumbs against the areas roughly where the touchscreen in-game controls would appear (bottom left & right) and you will be transported to level select.
Then on the level select screen, enter "07" on the sound-test, play the track then select "special stage" and the unused seventh special stage will play.
A very tough challange. You can't afford to get hit once by the bombs!
Featuring the 8th special stage from Sonic CD which can only be accessed by doing the following:
You need to have unlocked sound-test in Sonic CD by clearing all special stages in time-attack mode with a combined total time of under 4 minutes.
Then enter the numbers "7" "7" in sound-test mode and the 8th unused special stage will start.
It's a really neat special stage with Dr. Eggmans face always looking at you no matter which way you turn!
Featuring the unused 8th special stage from Sonic 3 which can only be accessed by doing the following ( I played using the Sonic 3 Complete hack):
When Sonic is on a swinging vine in Angel Island zone press: left left left, right right right, up up up on the d-pad. Then press start and A to be transported to level-select.
Then on the level select screen, enter "07" on the sound-test, play the track, then select "special stage A" and the unused seventh special stage will play.
The counter-clockwise spiral becomes insanely fast....
Featuring the unused 8th special stage from Sonic & Knuckles which can only be accessed by doing the following ( I played using the Sonic 3 Complete hack):
When Sonic is on the metal climbing frame in Mushroom Hill, press: left left left, right right right, up up up on the d-pad. Then press start and A to be transported to level-select.
Then on the level select screen, enter "07" on the sound-test, play the track then select "special stage B" and the unused seventh special stage will play.
This is a much easier special stage compared to Sonic 3.

Of the first 3 Sonic 3 has the only good special stages. Sonic 1 is barely controllable, and you have to have the Sonic 2 ones memorized to be able to do them

[@KingmanHighborn]

[@fawkesthefox912]

The 7th Special Stage in Sonic 1 mobile isn't unused. In case you missed it, in the level select, there's an option to change the number of Emeralds you can obtain in that playthrough from 6 to 7. Therefore, if you go through all the special stages past the 6th Emerald, you'll enter that 7th stage. Once you obtain that 7th, you're able to use Super Sonic. -though, that was obvious-

[@fawkesthefox912]

@uray. ...I already said; it's in the Level Select.

Ok here's the tutorial for who didn't know:just type the maximum of the emeralds and press "special stage" boom,nailed it!

[@edgardeitz2784]

Someone should hack these stages into their respective games. Also, an eighth emerald should be added to Sonic 1, to even things out.

[@sonicsupergreen1116]

So cool special stage sonic 2

[@torterratortellini6641]

2:45 That caught me off guard.

[@mrperson9655]

the sonic 1 "unused" special stage was never in the original 1991 version and its only meant to be accessed when turning on the option to have 7 emeralds in the debug mode of the mobile version. So I wouldn't really call it unused, just some secret special stage for those who want super sonic in Sonic 1 But i still don't get why an 8th special stage would be added to sonic 2's mobile version

[@peeka_]

maybe they wanted not only fix the rendering of special stages,but also update them to have these spinning half pipe sections? the only way to find out,is to ask the Christian Whitehead himself

[@warailawildrunner5300]

Interesting little factoid here - if you locked the original sonic 1 with Sonic and knuckles, it appeared that you were unable to do anything. However if you knew the right code on the screen, you could get infinitely generated special stages. As a kid, I logged over 10k individual stages. Some were more brutal than the counter clockwise spiral.
