Blue Spheres was always annoying to me as a kid, I still really struggle with it on replays as an adult. Maybe I should learn to love it more.

The half-pipe is almost playable in Sonic Origins where they made it slower but smoother and lowered the ring requirements, but it's still not good. And also another thing is that the requirements to get to the Special Stages (not the bonus stages) and the limited number of attempts really ruins whatever appeal they have as a side thing to do.

Also, other than the Mania's pinball Bonus Stage, none of them have any mechanics that mesh with the regular gameplay. At least the pinball shares some mechanics with Sonic rolling in ball form.
