Follow this walkthrough for Sonic & Knuckles to find Giant Ring #1 in the Flying Battery Zone. Learn how to navigate the blimp and its hazards.

Alright, let's grab that first Giant Ring in the Flying Battery Zone! It's pretty straightforward, but there are a few tricky bits. We're looking for Giant Ring #1, which is tucked away in a secret area.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start off heading right. Go through the first purple cylinder you see.
  2. 2
    Head down the platform and then make your way left.
  3. 3
    You'll encounter some flame blasters; just go past them and head right. You're heading towards the outside of the Flying Battery blimp now.
  4. 4
    Hop across the platforms outside and use the levers you find.
  5. 5
    Jump onto the ledge and head up to get back inside the blimp.
  6. 6
    Once inside, go past the Starpost.
  7. 7
    Continue through the next set of purple cylinders.
  8. 8
    Use your Spin Dash to go up a slope. Position Sonic right on top of a flame blaster.
  9. 9
    This flame blaster will launch you upwards. Once you land, head right and use the moving platforms to reach another flame blaster.
  10. 10
    Watch out! If you open the Prison Egg nearby, Badniks will pop out, so be careful.
  11. 11
    Use the flame blaster to get launched upwards again.
  12. 12
    Go past the mines and use the poles to swing across.
  13. 13
    Drop down and head left. You'll see a speed boost; jump over it and continue past more mines.
  14. 14
    Go down the platform and then head right. You'll need to wait for some platforms to rise up; don't get caught by them as they can crush you.
  15. 15
    Continue until you reach another Starpost. Press the switch nearby.
  16. 16
    Drop down and head left. Use your Spin Dash on the slopes to gain height.
  17. 17
    Jump onto the Prison Egg. As you run through the next set of purple cylinders, you'll stop on a ledge that instantly starts to collapse.
  18. 18
    Quickly move left before the ledge completely falls away. Use the flipping platforms above you to ascend.
  19. 19
    Head past the flame blaster and then move the spikes that are nearby. This will reveal a hidden hole.
  20. 20
    Drop down into this hole to find a secret passageway. Inside, you'll find the Giant Ring!
Tips
  • The flame blasters are your main way of getting around in some sections, so time your jumps onto them carefully.
  • Be ready to move quickly after landing on the collapsing ledge; it's a tight squeeze.
  • Don't be afraid to use the Spin Dash to get extra height on slopes, especially when trying to reach higher platforms.
