Within the game field, there are several rings. Excluding Tails and Dr.
Eggman, all other characters can survive damage inflicted by enemies
only so long as they are carrying at least one ring. When attacked,
these characters will lose all the rings they were carrying. If a character
is attacked while carrying no rings, they will lose a life. If the character
is skilled enough to collect 100 rings, they will receive an extra life. For
Tails and Dr. Eggman, collecting rings will recover lost HP little by little.
RINGS
On High-Speed Action and Lock-on Shooting Stages, there are several
point markers placed throughout the level that you can use to save your
character’s time and position within the course. If your character loses a
life, the next life will start from the location of the last point marker
touched with the time that was logged when the marker was originally
touched. If you have a certain amount of rings when touching the
point marker, you will receive a bonus item.

HUNTING STAGES
Unlike the other four characters, Knuckles and Rouge engage in treasure hunting. In order to
complete the stage, they must collect both specified objects. Once they move into the vicinity
of a desired object, the radar at the bottom of the screen will begin to flash from green to
yellow to red as the character moves closer to the object. You can obtain hints for the location
of each object by viewing the monitor screens. Since these stages are not a race to reach the
Goal Ring, no point markers will appear.

After clearing some stages, a “Boss” will appear. The life gauge of the
