Overall I love this, but the special stages are honestly pretty bad. They're just Sonic 2 special stages, but rewarding pattern memorization rather than skillful gameplay. A huge amount of the rings that appear are already impossible or near impossible to get by the time they're visible due to their placement in turns.
Thank you for playing!
You don't need to memorize the tracks, just to become quick in identifying the patterns (alternate left and right, all nearby, spirals, dna...).
Once you do they become very easy.
It is expected to lose the first block of rings of each pattern. They are the lead for the others that follow and there is always 3x the required ring amount on stage.
Jump left and right instead of running from one side to the other, and don't stop at the bottom for too long or you may get hit by a bomb.
By the time you unlock Wechnia, you should be able to clear them easily. Don't give up!
