These ancient Egyptian remains are an archaeologist's dream (or a nightmare, depending on if you like mazes or not). The main path is pretty easy to follow, but there are many little roads and nooks which could be hiding treasure, so search well! Springs might help you out of tight spots in this course. 
— Description, Sonic R[1]
Regal Ruin is the third course in Sonic R.
Course Layout
Regal Ruin is an arid, desert race course, filled with sand-blasted ruins and secret passageways. It hides two Chaos Emeralds, each one hidden inside a small pyramid. It also has many shortcuts and small routes that can cause the player to get lost or to finish the race more quickly. The five Sonic Tokens located on the course can unlock the EggRobo.
Trivia
- This stage is similar to the Labyrinth Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog.
- The stage might be located on Angel Island, given that there are echidna statues (i.e. the sphinx) on the ruins.
- In Sonic Unleashed, the background music for Jungle Joyride (daytime) opens with a strikingly similar melody to the background music that plays on this course.
