This is your chance to obtain a Chaos Emerald.
Collect the blue spheres and avoid the red ones. Look
for square formations among the blue spheres, and by
grabbing the spheres around the edge, all inner spheres
will turn to Rings. When you collect all the blue spheres,
a Chaos Emerald will appear. Collect 50 Rings in this Stage to earn a Continue

ITEMS & OBJECTS
By grabbing Rings you won't be hurt when attacked by an enemy.
If an enemy attacks when you don't have any Rings, you will lose
a Life. Collect 100 Rings to get an extra Life, and 50 Rings during
a 3D Special Stage or Bonus Stage (See P.27) to earn a Continue.
By touching a Starpost, your present score and time will be
recorded. If you lose a Life, you will return to the last Starpost you
touched.
Touch a Starpost with 50 Rings or more and you'll see a Star Circle
spinning above it. Jump in to enter a Bonus Stage (See below).
