Sonic & Knuckles: Grab Giant Ring #1

Alright, let's grab this first Giant Ring! It's pretty straightforward once you know the path.

Walkthrough

1
Start by heading right and going down the slope. You'll need to navigate past some bumpers, so be ready for that.
2
Enter the water area. After passing two rotating drums, make your way right and then climb up the eastern wall.
3
Once you're at the top, break through the walls in your path and run through the speed boosts.
4
Use your Spin Dash to go up the slope, then carefully glide across the bumpers. Jump onto the moving drum and climb up the wall.
5
Grab the Lightning Shield that's on the platform nearby, then head right.
6
You'll encounter more bumpers; just make your way past them. Then, glide to grab onto the edge of a platform. (The moving drums are an alternative, but honestly, they're way trickier.)
7
Use the cannon to launch Knuckles over to the right. Keep an eye out for the spikes on the wall's edge!
8
Continue past the bumpers and head past the Starpost.
9
After the anti-gravity platform, go up the slope and look for a hidden passageway. Head through it.
10
As you're running through the first set of speed boosts in this hidden area, hold Left. This is important! It'll stop Knuckles from automatically entering the next section.
11
If you stop running here, you'll notice a high slope. You'll need to repeatedly glide to make your way up it.
12
Once you're at the top, run through the speed boosts. When you drop down, you'll descend into a room with the Giant Ring.
13
Make sure you hold Left as you jump to ensure you go through the Giant Ring!

Tips

The Lightning Shield is super helpful for navigating some of the trickier bumper sections. Grab it if you can!
Holding Left at the speed boosts before the hidden slope is key to accessing the Giant Ring. Don't miss that cue!
