Ring Time Challenge#

General Objects#

The stage is filled with many objects out of the playing area. Most of them listed below are leftover from the original stage.

Red Platforms and Switch#

At the lower pathway, which is blocked off, there is a path of red platforms that fall instantly when stood on. Below them is a switch, which activated a floor the player can walk on when interacted with.

Rings between the Curves#

This set of rings is placed between two curves of the general pathway. (Note: Area is not loaded in the image below)

Enclosed Yellow Spring#

Found underneath the checkpoint near the end of where the main stage would be, before the collapsing towers, there is a singular yellow spring placed in an enclosed area.

Iron Ball Set#

Amy: Topsy Turvy#

Red Spring under Stairs#

Underneath the set of stairs, just below of when the player spawns, there is a red spring that would've sent the player backwards (possibly try the spinning top again when failed).

Platforms#

A bunch of platforms extending itself a long length from one side to the other.

Generations VS Amy OOB Rectangle Platforms.png

Ring Monitor#

A ring monitor can be found above the set of iron balls, at the lowest path of the spinning top section.

Spinning Top#

A spinning top can be found next to the stairs, as spawning it in is rare to do so. If the player were to try to use it, the game will crash.

Unspawned Egg Robo#

In a level editor, an Egg Robo is meant to spawn where the three parrots are (inside the small structure} next to the spinning top above, but cannot be spawned in.

Hidden Platforms#

Another set of platforms is hidden under the floor of the playing area, just under the diagonal arrow sign.

Knuckles: Buried Treasure#

Watch on YouTube

Beyond the Goal Ring, there is an entire layout all the way to the end of stage from an earlier point of development.

Balloon Bonanza#

Parts of the beginning portion of the original stage can all be found here. Interacting with Omochao will having him play his hint of using Homing Attacks (from Green Hill Act 2) and will display numbers from five to thirty-five. One of the two checkpoints in the garden area, on the top path, is also placed inside the wall.

High-Speed Hijinx#

Unused Layout#

Watch on YouTube

Upon the player spawning in, there is an unused layout that is hidden behind the player's view and can be easily accessed by jumping over the lasers. If the player were to progress closer towards the beginning of the stage, there is a layout of platforms, Egg Robos, and a few rings. Continuing on backwards, the player is blocked by invisible barriers.

There are also dash rings that would send the player back to where they spawned, while the right side leads to a pulley and another Egg Robo.

Misplaced General Objects#

There is a cloud placed behind the unused layout, a set of rings under the floor at the start of the final 2D section, and a small cloud just after that.

Laser Cloud Trap#

There is another cloud that can be found next to the lasers after the first set of Egg Robos. It can be jumped on, but there is no way for the player to escape after that as there are no springs around the secret area.

Egg Robo#

Near the end of the stage, there is a singular Egg Robo that can be found hidden high up into the air, over on the left side of the exit.
