Understand Star Posts in Sonic Mania. Learn how these checkpoints save progress and how collecting 25 rings enables access to the Blue Spheres bonus stage.
Star Posts serve as checkpoints within each Act. Touching a Star Post will save your progress up to that point, meaning if you lose a life, you will respawn at the last Star Post you touched. Additionally, if you pass a Star Post with 25 or more rings, a ring of stars will appear above it, indicating that you can enter a Blue Spheres bonus stage by jumping into the stars. These bonus stages are a great way to earn medals and extra lives.
