There are seven special stages in the game, one for each Chaos Emerald you can collect. In the special stages, you must collect all the blue spheres while avoiding the red spheres. If you collect all the blue spheres you are rewarded with a Chaos Emerald. If you collect all seven Emeralds you get the ability to transform into Super Sonic.

Items

You must collect all of these to get the chaos emerald. When you touch them they turn red.
If you touch any of these you lose.
You bounce off these making you go backwards. Just press up to go forward again. Red stars push you into red spheres.

Making Rings

Groups of blue spheres can be turned into rings by going around the outside of them.

Example 1

There must be at least 1 blue sphere in the center.

Example 2
