== Debut Appearance ==
 
In Sonic Adventure, there was no Goal Ring. Instead, [[Sonic]] had to either get to a specific area, rescue [[Miles Prower]] or destroy a capsule. [[Amy Rose]] had to escape using a balloon, [[E-102 Gamma]] had to destroy a target and [[Big the Cat]] had to go fishing. [[Sonic Team]] was unsatisfied and wanted Sonic to be more like speed, so in the sequel [[Sonic Adventure 2]], your character had get to the Goal Ring as fast as they could while blasting through hazards. An exception was [[Knuckles the Echidna]] and [[Rouge the Bat]], like the original, they searched for various objects. The Goal Ring has appeared in every Sonic game since then.

In Sonic Adventure 2, the Goal Ring resembled a giant ring with a flashing symbol reading "GOAL". There were also Back Rings that read "BACK". They kept this appearance in Sonic Heroes, but instead of reading "GOAL" there was merely a picture of an arrow, showing the heroes to move on. In Shadow the Hedgehog, they actually are massive rings, but if it's any Action Stage that's not [[Lethal Highway]], [[Cryptic Castle]], [[Central City]], [[Space Colony ARK|The Doom]], [[Glyphic Canyon|Sky Troops]], [[Mad Matrix]], [[Death Ruins]], [[Iron Jungle]] or [[Space Colony ARK|Lost Impact]], then the Goal Ring would be a Chaos Emerald. In Sonic Advance games, Goal Rings are floating rings with stars.

A Goal Ring as it appears in Sonic Heroes.

The Goal Ring is an item in the 3D Sonic the Hedgehog games. It is the 3D equivalent of the signpost and ends the stage when a player makes contact with it. Goal Rings are technically Giant Rings, however they are not treated as such as their purpose is to teleport the player to a Special Stage.
