Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds – Gold Rings, Explained

by

Sonic is trading running for racing in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds! This new game puts a fresh spin on the classic Sonic universe, letting players team up with familiar characters and race in fully customizable cars tailored to their preferred style of play.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds isn’t a traditional Sonic game, but it features many beloved characters and gameplay mechanics fans will recognize. The classic gold rings are back, and they play a special role this time around. This guide will explain exactly how gold rings work in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, and how to keep them from disappearing.

Gold Rings in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Explained

Unlike classic *Sonic* games, the gold rings in *Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds* aren’t just collectibles – they directly boost your car’s speed. While your car’s build and equipped gadgets also affect speed, collecting rings is the best way to get a continuous speed increase on the track. You’ll need to have at least 100 rings to activate this speed boost during a race.

The real difficulty isn’t getting enough rings to go faster – it’s holding onto them. Players can lose rings in several ways, and when they do, they’ll lose the speed boost as well, like this:

  • Bumping into a wall
  • Colliding with a fellow racer
  • Running into an environmental obstacle
  • Falling off the track
  • Being hit by an enemy item

During the game, certain events can cause you to lose some of the rings you’ve collected. Don’t worry, though! Rings are found all over the track – you can find smaller ones and bigger ones worth 5, 10, 20, or even 100. You can quickly replace what you’ve lost, as long as you don’t get hit by multiple ring-stealing events one after another.

Gadgets can really help you get more rings, carry more rings, and prevent losing them. Before each race, think carefully about which gadgets to use – choosing one that helps you collect or store more rings could make all the difference!
