Do not fill this in!===Special Stages=== {{main|Special Stage (Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble)}} Additionally, keeping with the 8-bit tradition, there are five individual [[Special Stage]]s in the game. These stages are accessed by collecting fifty [[Ring]]s and breaking open the "[[Chaos Emerald (power-up)|Chaos Emerald]]" [[Item Box|monitor]], a [[Star Circle|portal]] will appear which leads to the Special Stage. The first, third and fifth Special Stages are giant mazes with a countdown timer. The timer can be boosted with "[[Time Bonus]]" items scattered throughout the stage, but it can never exceed one and a half minutes. The second and fourth Special Stages involve flying the [[Tornado]] to collect Rings and avoid [[Bomb (obstacle)|bomb]]s. At the end of every Special Stage, [[Fang the Hunter|Fang]] shows up and attacks with one of the [[Marvelous Queen]]'s weapons to protect the [[Chaos Emerald]]. Clearing all five Special Stages unlocks the good cinematic ending of the game.
