Red Gate Ruins

Red Gate Ruins is a track that appears in Sonic Forces: Speed Battle. It is unlocked in Tier 6, or upon reaching 2,250 Trophies.

Overview
Red Gate Ruins is an extreme-difficulty track based in the City, and contains a wide variety of features, such as several split pathways, a very large number of Grind Rails, and obstacles nearly everywhere.

Gameplay
In Red Gate Ruins, the playable characters are stuck running down the level's road and can only move left and right between the road's four lanes (akin to the Quick Step). While running, the player can pick up powerups from Item Boxes and utilize the gimmicks native to this track.

Red Gate Ruins has many environmental obstacles which the player can either jump over, roll under or move around. Running into one of these obstacles will result in the player taking damage and lose some of their Rings. Falling into bottomless pits on the other hand forces the player to restart from an earlier point on the track.

Description
The racers begin by running through a narrow two-lane section, and will quickly come across the first of many areas of the track that contains two lanes of short Grind Rails with spikes, Rings, and enemies placed directly on them. The racers then must navigate around a large number of obstacles, which holds true on Grind Rails and throughout most of the track. There are several splits in the track; one of which is at the end of a backward-facing Conveyor Belt, and racers must quickly go to the left directly at the end of it from the main path if they wish to take it. Another goes under the upper pathway on two Grind Rails, while the upper path continues and has several obstacles, but is more direct. A third is near the end, where the two halves of the track split from each other and enter a Grind Rail segment, both areas going very high into the air before coming back down to the final stretch. The end of the track has a number of bottomless pits and two-lane sections, making dodging incoming attacks more difficult. The finish line can be found directly ahead.
