Zone 1[edit]
If you can reach the upper section of the map, there should be about forty rings at the top-right corner before the exit. If you fell down or couldn't approach it from the left, you can head left through the spiral bridge, and run through two loop-de-loops. Jump on the top of the left loop, and use the spring to reach the second. The second spring there brings you to the 40 rings.
Zone 2[edit]
Most of the rings are on the upper half of the level, but if you want to get 100 rings, you will need follow the top route first, and backtrack along the bottom route.
Zone 3[edit]
As sonic, you will be forced to jump over the large pillars at the bottom of the map. If so, exercise caution when jumping over the third pillar, since an enemy will approach at that time. However, it is only a threat if you fall between the pillars.
The boss of the stage is rather weak, but it has a spring on its back to prevent it from being damaged by jump attacks. However, it has no attacks beyong moving back and forth, and is easily defeated with spin dashes.
