Sonic 1 – The Special Stages plays as a 2D side-scrolling platformer. The gameplay centers around Sonic’s ability to run at high speed through levels that include springs, slopes, high falls, and loop-the-loops.
The levels are populated with hazards in the form of robots (named ‘badniks’ in the Western game manuals) that Dr. Robotnik has trapped animals inside; destroying one frees the creature, but is not necessary to complete the game.
The player must also avoid touching rows of sharp spikes, falling into bottomless pits, and being crushed by moving walls or platforms, as well as drowning, which can be circumvented by breathing air bubbles periodically released from vents.
Sonic’s main means of attack is the Spin Attack, in which he curls into a ball and rotates rapidly, damaging enemies and certain obstacles upon collision.
