How to unlock the Chaos Master achievement in Sonic the Hedgehog - Definitive Guide

This is pretty simple in practice.

1) At the start of acts 1-2 of Green Hill, Marble Zone and Spring Yard. Perform a save.

2) Collect 50 rings; save as needed for sections you are likely to take damage.

3) Get to the end of the act, again saving to insure you keep your rings.

4) Jump into the giant ring at the end of the act and save again.

5) Now keep trying to grab the emerald, reloading the save if you fail.

Theoretically, you have until Scrap Brain Zone act 2 to aquire all emeralds, though it is much more difficult to keep your rings.

To enter a Special Stage you must meet these requirements:
- Be in Act 1 or Act 2 of a Zone.
- Have 50 rings at the end of the level.
- Jump into the big ring at the end of the level.

Each Special Stage is a colorful rotating crystalline chamber full of rings, bumpers, and hazards that will try to impede your process. Do not be fooled by the blue and red "GOAL" buttons as these will only end the level and leave you with nothing. You'll see the Chaos Emerald if you persevere and get to the end. The emeralds are guarded by barriers of colored gems, and hitting these gems will cause them to change color and eventually disappear. Once you break through and grab the emerald the level will end.

Here are some helpful tips to beat the Special Stages:
- Use the Quick Save/Load function before every level starts.
- Generally following the path of rings will lead you to the Chaos Emerald. If you come to a fork in the road, follow the rings.
- If you are in the process of breaking the gems blocking the Chaos Emerald, use nearby Reverse switches to always keep you in an opportune position to break the gems.

There are six chaos emeralds to obtain in the game. You can only get them in the first two acts of every zone (except the last zone). The special stage consists of a rotating maze. You control Sonic and have him jump around the maze in order to find the chaos emerald. The chaos emerald will be surrounded by crystals that need to be hit (simply by touching them) in order to reach it. You need to time it so that you lay on these crystals. Whilst laying on them they will start to disappear. There are circular pieces with the letter “R” on them that reverses the direction of the spinning maze. Watch out for the red flashing circles as they end the special stage.

Here is the list of levels where you can obtain a chaos emerald:

1) Green Hill Zone Act 1
2) Green Hill Zone Act 2
3) Marble Zone Act 1
4) Marble Zone Act 2
5) Spring Yard Zone Act 1
6) Spring Yard Zone Act 2
7) Labyrinth Zone Act 1
8) Labyrinth Zone Act 2
9) Star Light Zone Act 1
10) Star Light Zone Act 2

As the game progresses it will get harder to get to the end of the act with 50 rings. So my recommendation is to do the first 6 listed above. SAVE SAVE SAVE right as the special stage begins. Most likely you will fail some of these, so it's always handy to have that save ready to get loaded back up.

Here is a video guide for all special stages:
