Red Rings as found in the Wii version of Sonic Colours.
Red Rings are collectible items found in Sonic Colours. They exist as hidden items in the game's Acts, and collecting them will unlock new levels in Game Land.
Colours was the first Sonic game to feature collectable red rings, but the same concept was employed in Sonic and the Secret Rings, where Fire Souls (usually three per stage) could be grabbed to unlock extra Storybook pages or multiplayer modes.
