A shield is a power-up that protects the player from harm. When the player runs into an enemy or trap, they fall backwards and the shield is lost. Shields offer limited protection in the same way as rings do, although shields can't be re-collected after they are lost.
Shields can be obtained though breaking monitors, or the gumball machine bonus stage in Sonic 3.
