Special stages?

Which of the classic games had the best special stages? Sonic 1 rotating stage, Sonic 2 halfpipe, Sonic 3 blue spheres, Sonic CD UFO?

And which game had your favorite overall, not just in the classic games?

I have a soft spot for the Sonic 1 special stages simply from how many times I've replayed that game compared to any other in the classics trilogy (quadrilogy?).

But if it's a matter of best instead of favorites than Sonic 3 has the best special stage in my opinion. They're pretty easy at first but later on they start turning into these sort of speed puzzles where you gotta find the right path to take through them, meanwhile the speed keeps increasing and opens up more room for error. It's very dynamic, I love it.

As for other game's special stages... A notable one for me is Sonic Rush's special stage, who are like expanded versions of the Sonic 2 special stages, simply because they spike in difficulty so fast I. I came out of Sonic Rush still having the special stage music in my head.

The Advance games also have pretty neat special stages, especially Advance 2 who are more akin to Sonic CD's special stages. Though I can't say much on them as I'm not that familiar yet.

Weirdly enough, despite them being the most unforgiving on the bunch, I tend to be best at the Blue Sphere Stages.

I have always been a fan of the blue spheres. I am better at them than Sonic 1 and probably the same as Sonic 2. Sonic 2 I can usually get close to the next goal before the previous one is over.

They do get hard at the end though.

I've always loved Blue Spheres more than any of the other special stages. My least favorite is hands down Superstars' special stages. They're just too easy IMO, just spam the homing attack and then you'll eventually get the chaos emerald. I also don't care for Sonic Lost World 3DS's special stages either, the gyro controls are a pain to master and it gives me a bit of a headache.

When it comes to the special stages I love so much more than the rest, it's definitely going to be Blue Spheres. Even though they do get a little bit difficult in end, I've always managed to have a breakthrough. Sonic 2 special stages is also among my favourite too but I fancy Blue Spheres more.

My personal favorite special stages are the Sonic 1 special stages. Not sure why, but I seem to be best at them compared to the others and I've always enjoyed the music that plays during them. Second favorite may be Blue Spheres, after I ended up trying to collect all of the medals in Sonic Mania and got better at them as a result.

As for my least favorite... probably Sonic 2's half-pipe special stages. I'm so bad at them that I could never get more than two emeralds in that game.

Yeah I did find those to be quite easy. Superstars, I mean. I don't think I failed any except in two player mode.
