Ring (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)

Rings are objects that appear in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. They are loop-shaped items used for travel in the Special Zone.

Description
The Rings are light blue bands found in the Special Zone. Though their properties are not specified, they can be absorbed by people through touch. Collecting enough enables one to travel between Star Posts through the Special Zone.

History
Seeking a shortcut in the "Mobius 5000", Sonic, Tails and Professor Caninestein collected droves of Rings upon entering the Special Zone, allowing them to teleport into a desirable position in the race.

Trivia

 * The Rings' purpose are much like their game counterparts in the Special Stages in various Sonic games where the player has to collect enough Rings to obtain a Chaos Emerald.
