{{Nihongo|'''Super Ring'''|リング|Ringu|lit. "Ring"}}, also called as {{Nihongo|'''Big 10 Ring'''|ビッグ10リング|Biggu 10 Ringu}}, {{nihongo|'''Random Ring'''|ランダムリング}} or '''Ring Bonus''', is a recurring power-up in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]] that grants several [[Ring]]s at once. Since their debut in [[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (1991)]], the Super Rings have been featured in almost every game since then. During the years where [[Item Box]]es were almost absent, Super Rings would become separated items as well. Despite this, they continue to appear as either separate, collectible items or Item Box power-ups, depending on the games featuring them.

Since their debut, the Super Rings have been featured in several ''Sonic'' games. It is generally a power-up contained in [[Item Box]]es, but it has occasionally been featured as an independent, non-contained, and collectible item as well. Since its introduction, the Super Ring has functioned identically in every game, no matter how it appears.

[[File:Item Box Adventure 2.png|thumb|left|A Super Ring contained in a modern Item Box.]]
−
When obtaining a Super Ring, the player is instantly granted multiple [[Ring]]s at once. Super Rings are either by obtained from [[Item Box]]es or as their own separated item. In the earlier games, it only gave ten rings per [[monitor]]. Since then, the amount has been increased, allowing different types of Super Rings, each granting a certain number of Rings. The amount of Rings each Super Ring grants is shown by a number displayed on them. However, there are also Super Rings with question marks on them, which gives variable amounts of Rings.
  
  +
The Super Ring is a major power-up In the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]], and is generally the most common. When obtaining a Super Ring, the player is instantly granted ten [[Ring]]s at once which are automatically added to the player's total Ring count. Rings granted by Super Rings function like regular Rings, as the player is able to lose them after taking damage and then recollect them.
  +
  +
[[File:Super Ring.png|thumb|right|A Super Ring without an Item Box containing it.]]
  +
The Super Ring appears either as a power-up contained in an [[Item Box]] or as a floating golden Ring separate from Item Boxes that is slightly larger than regular Rings and has the number "10" in its center. Item Boxes containing Super Rings usually either contain or display an icon depicting a Ring, sometimes with the number "10" written somewhere on the icon or in the display. When the player breaks a Super Ring Item Box, the iconic Ring sample is heard in the background and the player receives the ten Rings. Like other Item Boxes, Super Ring Item Boxes can be hidden behind walls, palm trees or in other places. Super Rings that appear as large floating Rings on the other hand are obtained upon simply touching them, as there is no Item Box in-between them and the player. However, they cannot be targets by attacked like the [[Homing Attack]], unlike Super Rings in Item Boxes. When collecting an Item Box-less Super Ring, a unique sound effect is played compared to the regular chime.
  +
  +
In some cases, the Super Rings can appear in groups to be picked up.

It appears in both the console/[[PC]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game.
  +
  +
In the console/PC version of ''Sonic Generations'', the Super Ring appears as both an [[Item Box]] item and a floating ring without an Item Box. Noticeably, Item Boxes that contain the Super Ring in this version of the game display an icon that shows a single Ring. In gameplay, [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Classic Sonic's world)|Classic Sonic]]'s Acts only feature the Super Rings as Item Box power-ups, while [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Modern Sonic]]'s Acts only feature the Super Rings as Item Box-less power-ups.
  +
  +
In the Nintendo 3DS version of ''Sonic Generations'', the Super Ring appears exclusively as an Item Box item. Noticeably, Item Boxes that contain the Super Ring in this version of the game display an icon that shows a single Ring with the number "10" written in its center. In gameplay, unlike in the console/PC version, the Item Boxes holding Super Rings appear in both Modern and Classic Sonic's Acts.

  +
===''Sonic Lost World''===
  +
[[File:Super Ring.png|left|60px]]
  +
In ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'', the [[Ring]] power up is called '''Super Ring'''<ref>[[Dimps]] (29 October 2013). [[Sonic Lost World]]. [[Nintendo 3DS]]. [[Sega]]. Area/level: [[Tails' Lab]].</ref> once more. It appears in both the [[Wii U]]/[[PC]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game.
   
  +
In the Wii U/PC version of ''Sonic Lost World'', the Super Ring appears as both an [[Item Box]] item and a floating ring without an Item Box. However, in the Nintendo 3DS version, the Super Ring appears exclusively as a Item Box item. Noticeably, Item Boxes that contain the Super Ring in both versions of the game hold a golden Ring with the number "10" written in its center.
−
Rings granted by Super Rings function like regular Rings, as the player is able to lose them after taking damage and then recollect them.
  
   
  +
In ''Sonic Lost World'', the Super Rings can be obtained through other means, outside of the [[Zone]]s. On the Wii U version, they can be obtained and shared on the Miiverse. They can also be rewarded by completing [[Mission (Sonic Lost World)|missions]] on the Wii U/PC version. Also, on the Nintendo 3DS version, the player can make a Super Ring in [[Tails' Lab]] using three [[Green Material]]s. Once obtained, these Super Rings will be stored away for the player to use later in the Zones. During these Zones, the player can look up the Item Bag and select the Super Ring to instantly bestow it onto the playable character.

[[File:It makes sure that you don't lose them..png|thumb|180px|left|Three Super Ring monitors in the original ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', alongside an [[Invincibility]] item box.]]
  
−
Super Rings are one of the major monitor power-ups, and possibly the most common of them all. Such monitors have a small icon representing a Ring on the screen. When the player breaks the monitor, the sound of Rings can be heard in the background, and the player has the Rings added to their total Ring count. Like others monitors, Super Rings can be hidden behind walls, palmtrees or in other places. In some cases, the Super Rings monitors can appear in groups of three to five to be picked up. Since their debut, Super Rings have functioned identically in every game.
 
   
  +
===''Sonic Runners'' series===
−
In the early Sonic games, there have been cases where Super Rings have been featured outside of monitors. When the player destroys a purple-colored [[UFO]] in the [[Special Stage (Sonic the Hedgehog CD)|Special Stages]] of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'', they receive a '''Special Ring''', which is worth twenty Rings. In [[Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles|''Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles'']], the player can find grey [[gumball]]s with yellow Ring symbols on them in both the Gumball machine or the Glowing Sphere types of [[Bonus Stage]]s that work as Super Rings. The Bonus Stage in ''[[Knuckles' Chaotix]]'' also has blocks with Super Rings in them. In [[Debug Mode]] of some of those games, Super Rings were often the only monitor power-up the player could place in the stage.
  
  +
====''Sonic Runners''====
  +
In ''[[Sonic Runners]]'', the [[Ring]] power-up is referred to as '''Super Ring''' once again. In this game, it is exclusively a floating ring without an [[Item Box]].
   
  +
In gameplay, when having an "Attack Eggman!" encounter during a [[stage]], [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] will show up in his [[Egg Mobile]], carrying a huge amount of Rings. When attacking the Egg Mobile during these encounters, Eggman will occasionally drop one or more Super Rings. Also, some Buddies like the RC Turtle can turn regular Rings into Super Rings after every X [[Combo]], while the Hunk of Meat Buddy gives extra Rings for getting each Super Ring. There is also the RC Pirate Spaceship Buddy which makes more Super Rings appear during boss battles.
−
[[File:Item Box Heroes.png|thumb|120px|Item Box with five Ring Bonus.]]
  
−
Since ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', Item Boxes for Super Rings have varied in the number of Rings they can grant to the player, ranging from granting five, ten or twenty Rings when opened. The number of Rings the Super Ring item boxes grant are depicted with a number on their surface. Additionally, certain games since then have featured Super Rings with question mark on them, which can awarded the player with a random amount of Rings, even more so than twenty Rings. These variable Super Rings are also featured in both ''[[Sonic Advance]]'' and ''[[Sonic Rush]]'' games as well. In ''[[Sonic Riders]]'' and ''[[Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity]]'', Super Rings are featured as randomized power-ups in Item Boxes, and can grant ten, twenty, thirty, or even hundred Rings in both games. However, there have been a few games after ''Sonic Adventure'' which have kept the original Super Ring monitors that only grant ten Rings, such as ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure]]'' and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4]]''.
  
   
  +
====''Sonic Runners Adventure''====
−
[[File:Super ring.jpg|thumb|left|Super Ring as separated item in ''[[Sonic Generations]]''.]]
  
  +
In ''[[Sonic Runners Adventure]]'', the [[Ring]] power-up makes a return appearance. In this game, it is exclusively a floating ring without an [[Item Box]].
−
In ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', Super Rings were introduced as items separate from Item Boxes. In this game, the Super Rings were presented as floating golden Rings that are slightly larger than regular Rings, with a number in the middle that tells how many Rings it will gain to the player, though the number of Rings they grant still only range between five, ten and twenty. A unique sound effect is played when Sonic collects a Super Ring, compared to the regular chime. 
  
   
  +
In gameplay, Super Rings appear in both the regular levels and the [[Bonus level]]. In addition, [[Chaotix Type]] characters possess an ability that allows them to turn 30% of all Rings in a [[stage]] into Super Rings for a limited time whenever they collect enough Rings. Also, during boss battles with [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] and his [[Iron Ball Eggmobile (Sonic Runners Adventure)|Iron Ball Eggmobile]], Eggman will occasionally drop one or more Super Rings when taking damage.
−
Since their redesign in ''Sonic Unleashed'', the Super Rings' status as items belonging to the Item Boxes or being separate items of their own have been rather inconsistent, with the case depending on the situation and version of the game. In the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Sonic Colors]]'', Super Rings are their own items, while the [[Nintendo DS]] version of the game has them as Item Box power-ups. Also, in the [[PlayStation 3|PS3]]/[[PC]]/[[Xbox 360]] version of ''[[Sonic Generations]]'', classic acts has the Super Rings as monitor power-ups, and modern acts have them as items of their own, while the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version only features Super Rings in monitors. Additionally, ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'' features them both as items of their own and Item Box power-ups. Getting one as a standalone item, the special chime plays, but when collected in an Item Box, the regular ring chime plays. In ''[[Sonic Runners]]'', [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] carries huge pile of Rings in his [[Egg Mobile]], some of which can be Super Rings as separate items. Hitting Eggman once makes him drop regular Rings and Super Rings to be obtained. Some Companion Buddies like [[Cameron|RC Turtle]] can turn regular Rings into Super Rings after receiving [[Combo]]s, while Hunk of Meat gives extra amount of Rings for getting each Super Ring and RC Pirate Spaceship will make more Super Rings appear during boss battles.
 
   
  +
===''Sonic Mania''===
−
The Super Rings are scheduled to re-appear in ''[[Sonic Forces]]'' and ''[[Sonic Mania]]'', with ''Sonic Mania'' retaining the original function from the Sega Genesis games (always conferring to the player 10 Rings).
  
  +
[[File:SMSuperRing.png|left]]
  +
In ''[[Sonic Mania]]'', and its expansion ''[[Sonic Mania Plus]]'', the [[Ring]] power-up is once again named {{nihongo|'''Super Ring'''<ref name="SManiaUS">[[Media:SMENG013.jpg|''Sonic Mania'' United States instruction manual]].</ref>|ビッグ10リング<ref name="SManiaJap">[[Media:SMMANUAL013.jpg|''Sonic Mania'' Japanese instruction manual]].</ref>|Biggu 10 ringu|lit.

==Types of Super Rings==
  
  +
In ''[[Sonic Forces]]'', the [[Ring]] power-up is called '''bonus Ring'''.<ref name="SForces"/> In this game, the bonus Ring appears as both an [[Item Box]] item and a floating ring without an Item Box. Noticeably, Item Boxes that contain the bonus Ring in this version of the game display an icon that shows a single Ring. In gameplay, [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Classic Sonic's world)|Classic Sonic]]'s [[stage]]s only feature the bonus Rings as Item Box power-ups, while the stages exclusive to [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Modern Sonic]], the [[Avatar]], and the Tag Team gameplay only feature the bonus Rings as Item Box-less power-ups.

'''Combine Rings''' first appeared in ''[[Knuckles' Chaotix]]'', where they can be found at monitors with a blue Ring icon on them, much like Super Rings. The first Combine Ring functions differently by combining all collected Rings in the player score to the one large Ring (hence the name). This is noticeable when getting hit by an enemy or obstacle, as the player loses the large Ring and is able to grab it back with all collected Rings in the score. They then appeared in ''[[Sonic Mania]]'', with a few minor changes; they are now called '''Hyper Rings''', and rather than a single large ring, the rings are combined into a maximum of six large rings, each with an equal amount.

The '''unnamed 30 Ring power-up''' is a bigger variant of the Super Ring. It gives thirty [[Ring]]s when obtained. So far, it has only taken the form of an [[Item Box]]-less floating ring with the number "30" written in its center, and has yet to appear as an Item Box power-up.
  +
  +
This power-up has only appeared in the [[Wii]]/[[PlayStation 2]] version of ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]''. In this game, it can only be found in the nighttime [[stage]]s. It starts out as uncommon, but appears more frequently as the player advances through the game.

The '''unnamed 100 Ring power-up''' is the biggest variant of the Super Ring. It gives one hundred [[Ring]]s when obtained. So far, it has only taken the form of an [[Item Box]]-less floating ring with the number "100" written in its center, and has yet to appear as an Item Box power-up.
  +
  +
This power-up has only appeared in the [[Wii]]/[[PlayStation 2]] version of ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]''. In this game, it can only be found in the nighttime [[stage]]s. It is by far the rarest of the Ring power-ups in the game, as it only appears in the game's last missions and [[stage]]s.

Gives 10 Rings.


— Description, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II

The Super Ring[1] (ビッグ10リング[2] Biggu 10 ringu?, lit. "Big 10 Ring"), also referred to as the 10 Rings[3] (10リング[4] 10 Ringu?, lit. "10 Ring"), 10 Ring Bonus[5] (10リングボーナス[6] 10 Ringubōnasu?), and bonus Rings,[7] is a power-up that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. When the player obtains this power-up, the playable character receives ten Rings at once.

Since their debut, the Super Rings have been featured in several Sonic games. It is generally a power-up contained in Item Boxes, but it has occasionally been featured as an independent, non-contained, and collectible item as well. Since its introduction, the Super Ring has functioned identically in every game, no matter how it appears.

A Super Ring contained in a modern Item Box.

The Super Ring is a major power-up In the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and is generally the most common. When obtaining a Super Ring, the player is instantly granted ten Rings at once which are automatically added to the player's total Ring count. Rings granted by Super Rings function like regular Rings, as the player is able to lose them after taking damage and then recollect them.

Super Ring

A Super Ring without an Item Box containing it.

The Super Ring appears either as a power-up contained in an Item Box or as a floating golden Ring separate from Item Boxes that is slightly larger than regular Rings and has the number "10" in its center. Item Boxes containing Super Rings usually either contain or display an icon depicting a Ring, sometimes with the number "10" written somewhere on the icon or in the display. When the player breaks a Super Ring Item Box, the iconic Ring sample is heard in the background and the player receives the ten Rings. Like other Item Boxes, Super Ring Item Boxes can be hidden behind walls, palm trees or in other places. Super Rings that appear as large floating Rings on the other hand are obtained upon simply touching them, as there is no Item Box in-between them and the player. However, they cannot be targets by attacked like the Homing Attack, unlike Super Rings in Item Boxes. When collecting an Item Box-less Super Ring, a unique sound effect is played compared to the regular chime.

In some cases, the Super Rings can appear in groups to be picked up.
