An extremely common type of mission that tasks the player with flying, running, or driving through a series of large, illuminated rings, usually within a limited amount of time. One common variation sees you following behind something collecting something it drops in order for you to continue, like air bubbles in an underwater level, health-ups in a lava level, or the rings themselves. These kinds of missions are common for two reasons: first, it sets a clear, specific objective that can be a challenging and fun way to master the controls across a number of popular game genres. Second, it's generally very easy to make them; place a bunch of ordered rings, and add a time limit and/or swarm of enemies. Rings are also not unheard of in racing segments, with the progression of the rival serving as the time limit. |

The adventure (i.e. minigame) "Flying Circus" in Guild Wars 2 follows this pattern. It's a time trial where the objective is to glide through a series of rings as quickly as possible. Unlike the classic Superman 64 example though, the path actually branches. | |

Star Fox 64 has ring-shaped health items: the silver ring gives you a little bit of health, the star-shaped silver ring and the checkpoint ring give you a lot of health, the golden ring gives you a fair amount of health and collecting three will double the length of your health bar. A few hidden exits in Star Fox 64 are unlocked by doing this. | |

Crash Bandicoot: Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped has a secret level like this dubbed "Rings of Power", where Crash has to win an aerial race where all racers have to go through a series of rings suspended in the sky. The level's name is a Shout-Out to the game developer Naughty Dog's first game. Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex has a secret race level using a helicopter backpack against a giant polar bear riding magic carpet that works like this. In a variation, there are flagpole gates in one of those snowboard levels where Coco must outrun the avalanche. Getting through them all awards you a gem. |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Some of the Koroks hidden across Hyrule require you to pass through a series of green rings quickly enough, activated when you stand on a wooden pad marked with the drawing of a leaf, to find them so they give you their Seeds. Four of the Sheikah Shrines in the Champions' Ballad DLC require Link to pass through a series of hologram-made rings (drawn with Sheikan-based inscriptions), each time under a brief time limit so they don't disappear. The way you go through the rings varies depending on the case: For the ones in Gerudo Desert, you have to ride a Sand Seal; for the ones in Hebra Mountains, you have to surf with a shield (one which is durable enough so it doesn't shatter before the task is complete); for the ones in Zora's River, you have to swim fast with an armor suited for this purpose; and for the ones in Death Mountain, you have to fly with the Paraglider from a high spot. |

Diddy Kong Racing uses rings as booster pads for planes. Also, you have to beat every track two times, the second time with the added challenge to collect eight silver coins, which is quite similar in how it restricts your movement options, but you can get them in any order and you have all three laps to get them. | |

Each world in Toy Commander, with the exception of the Cellar, has one race consisting of this. The unlockable garden level has a race like this where you play as a snail and race other snails.

The Harry Potter video games seem to like this one. The broomstick and Hippogriff flying lessons in their versions of Philosopher's Stone and Prisoner of Azkaban use this mechanic, and the Quidditch adaptations in each game also use the mechanic as an assist for chasing the golden snitch. Despite this, the rings only show up in Quidditch World Cup as an aid in the passing tutorials. | |

In Sky Odyssey, transparent rings are in each level and are colored white and yellow. White rings help guide the player on the correct path through the area. Yellow rings are harder to safely pass through without crashing your aircraft, but worth more points. All of these rings are optional to pass through but give players a better store, allowing them to buy more parts to customize their aircraft. | |

Star Fox: From the Star Fox onwards, it's common in the series to pilot your Arwing through various rings for different reasons. Training modes always make you fly through rings, with some of them having a special placement that requires special maneuvers. Star Fox 64 has ring-shaped health items: the silver ring gives you a little bit of health, the star-shaped silver ring and the checkpoint ring give you a lot of health, the golden ring gives you a fair amount of health and collecting three will double the length of your health bar. A few hidden exits in Star Fox 64 are unlocked by doing this. Star Fox Command uses squared rings instead of circular ones, be it to chase down a missile, Barrel Roll into the enemy mothership, and so on. In Star Fox Adventures: Every time you go from the planet to a chunk, the flight corridor has ten Gold Rings to fly through. Only one chunk requires you to pass through all of them to get there (namely to access Dragon Rock), but whenever you do, you gain bonus points for that flight. Regarding on-foot areas, there are two cases where Fox must pass through rings of sparkles. At CloudRunner Fortress, Fox must use pillars, other structures, and floating crates to jump through a series of rings along a path over water. And at the Walled City, rings appear in the stream around the central land mass, the object being to swim or otherwise pass through them. Both instances are a race against time, but in the second case, passing through a ring gives you a few more seconds. |

World of Warcraft: In the Expansion Pack Mists of Pandaria, one of the quests to get East Asian dragon-like flying mounts involves riding one through rings above the Jade Forest. In Dragonflight, some quests for the dragon riding skills (takeoff, high speed flight, gliding, acceleration etc) are this, with the Dragon Isles being specifically designed for said skills. Also applies to the early quests for the Dracthyr/Evoker race/class itself, which has similar (if less developed, but usable outside the Dragon Isles) abilities. |

Passing through many of them in a row provides a combo that boosts the score. There are obstacles like blocks and Amps that must be avoided, as they stun the player and make them waste time.

In Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, some of the missions where you need to pick up emblems can devolve into this, as you need to rush from one to the next in order to get full points. On the other hand, you can beat up nearby enemies to refresh the "ring", so it's a bit more involved (and easier) than most examples here. | |

Mario Party 4: The aptly-named minigame Manta Rays has all players swim through a sea and pass through as many rings as possible, each of which is worth one point by default. If a manta ray passes through a ring first, it will change its color to gold, making it worth three points. The character also have to avoid being hit by Bloopers (which deduct one point upon contact), Sushi/sharks (two points) and large orange eels (three points). Whoever scores the most points by the time they reach the goal wins. | |

The objective is to pass through five star-shaped rings, each identified with a number from 1 to 5 and following the intended order, and then dash to the goal. Whoever does so first wins. | |

Warframe Mastery rank 20 test requires the player to get from platform A to platform B using their archwing within a time limit that can be extended by flying through rings. Around Orb Vallis you can find Boon, who can challenge you to drive your K-drive Hover Board through gates to earn standing with Vent Kids. |

JumpJet Rex has this. In all normal levels, there is a number of golden rings and the main objective is to pass through all of them to open the gate to the goal. Rings will usually disappear when Rex touches them, but sometimes they will turn transparent instead, meaning that Rex has to pass through them again. When this happens, passing through the same ring twice in a row will not count; Rex needs to cross another one for the previous ring to return to its normal state so it will count (if the ring in question is the only one left, the player has to wait a few seconds for it to return to normal instead). Rex can also activate rings by hitting them with the projectiles from his rocket boots. | |

Among the side missions in Just Cause 2 are plenty of racing ones. There's four kinds, too; road courses where you use a car or motorcycle, flying courses where you pilot some type of aircraft, boat courses, and obstacle courses where you don't use a vehicle at all. You need to go through all the rings in order within the time limit, and passing through each ring makes it explode dramatically while adding seconds to the timer. There are also bonus rings in some races that, while optional, will give you more time than a regular ring. Time doesn't start ticking until you hit the first ring, so you can take all the time you need to get ready, or even go hijack another vehicle to use for the race. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has this as a swimming minigame in the Waterfall Rapids, located in Great Bay. You're then told you have to do it again to get your prize (a bottle). And twice more if you want a Piece of Heart. The dificulty gradually increases every time: You have to pass through 20 rings in 2 minutes in the first race, then 25 in the same time limit in the second, then 20 in only 1 minute and 50 seconds in the third, and finally 25 in that reduced time limit in the fourth. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Some of the Koroks hidden across Hyrule require you to pass through a series of green rings quickly enough, activated when you stand on a wooden pad marked with the drawing of a leaf, to find them so they give you their Seeds. Four of the Sheikah Shrines in the Champions' Ballad DLC require Link to pass through a series of hologram-made rings (drawn with Sheikan-based inscriptions), each time under a brief time limit so they don't disappear. The way you go through the rings varies depending on the case: For the ones in Gerudo Desert, you have to ride a Sand Seal; for the ones in Hebra Mountains, you have to surf with a shield (one which is durable enough so it doesn't shatter before the task is complete); for the ones in Zora's River, you have to swim fast with an armor suited for this purpose; and for the ones in Death Mountain, you have to fly with the Paraglider from a high spot. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has three Sky Island clusters where Link is tasked by Steward Constructs to skydive through glowing rings before falling into a pool of water. Doing so gives you the three parts of the Glide Outfit, which gives you greater control of your position as you skydive. |

Superman 64 has a lot of these. Bizarrely, Lex Luthor introduces these linear ring racing segments by challenging Superman to "SOLVE MY MAZE". This went all Memetic Mutation for N64 magazine (later NGamer), to the point that Lex Luthor's Solve My Maze became a regular feature when the title changed focus to the Nintendo GameCube and became NGC. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario 64 has a fair number of these. It makes a little more sense than usual, because it's just one of the tasks you have to perform to collect the Plot Coupons. New Super Mario Bros.: The series has red and green rings that trigger like-colored coins to appear, collecting all of which awards you a power-up (or, if you already have such an item, an extra life). This carried to Super Mario 3D Land, which also has yellow rings that simply award bonus coins. Super Mario Galaxy has a couple of these missions for the underwater levels, where the rings are marked by a shark character, made a bit easier with motor-powered Koopa shells. Super Mario Galaxy 2: The rings found in the Fluzzard races are optional for the Power Stars, but required to get the Comet Medals. Super Mario 3D World: Touching a star-shaped ring will make eight green coins appear, arranging a specific pattern. Getting them all before time runs out will net you a Green Star. There are exactly 21 such rings in the game, leading to a total of 168 green coins for 21 Green Stars. Mario Party 4: The aptly-named minigame Manta Rays has all players swim through a sea and pass through as many rings as possible, each of which is worth one point by default. If a manta ray passes through a ring first, it will change its color to gold, making it worth three points. The character also have to avoid being hit by Bloopers (which deduct one point upon contact), Sushi/sharks (two points) and large orange eels (three points). Whoever scores the most points by the time they reach the goal wins. Mario Party 5: The minigame Hydrostars has all the characters drive motorboats across an enclosed area of the sea. The objective is to pass through five star-shaped rings, each identified with a number from 1 to 5 and following the intended order, and then dash to the goal. Whoever does so first wins. Mario Party Advance: The minigame Broom Zoom has a solo player flying through rings on a Flying Broomstick until reaching the goal line. Passing through many of them in a row provides a combo that boosts the score. There are obstacles like blocks and Amps that must be avoided, as they stun the player and make them waste time. In Shroom City mode, at least 5000 points must be scored to win. Mario Golf has challenges where the player has to shoot the ball through rings. Mario Golf 2 has co-op ring shot, with different sets of holes for 1, 2, 3, or 4 players. Only one ball needs to go through each ring (with more rings across more paths to compensate), but everyone needs to make par to win. |

There's an option in some entries in the Microsoft Flight Simulator series that allows you to see a flight path as a series of rings. Follow them, and you'll have a nice, smooth flight. If you want an easy, smooth landing, just turn on an option that renders a landing path as a series of rings. Sega Airline Pilots, an arcade flight sim, has a similar feature, except that the rings are mandatory, as they make up your flight route. | |

Donkey Kong 64 contains three such challenges. Two of them can be a slight hassle as you have to do so with Diddy's jetpack which can be slightly difficult to use (but you can always use hover). The other one is a boss fight in Gloomy Galleon where you have to use a boat (like the one in that same level's Racing Minigame) while avoiding shockwaves and fireballs. | |

The Jak and Daxter series frequently features this trope. Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy: The level Precursor Basin features two Power Cell challenges that have you following the rings on a Zoomer, with the second one featuring rings requiring to hit a rock to be launched in the air or rapidly navigating narrow walkway. Jak II: Renegade: The difficulty ranks at or just below Nintendo Hard due to these. In addition to having an "accelerator ring" race that ranks in the top 3 hardest missions of the game, there are numerous optional ring races that are much harder than the rest of the game. Jak 3: Wastelander repeats this. |

Spider-Man games: Spider-Man 2: The Movie: The race challenges have this type of challenge, only the rings are 10 to 15 stories high - given the game's swinging physics, this is somewhat understandable - the ones attached to walls and obstacles are somewhat smaller and more frustrating to hit. Ultimate Spider-Man: Used with difficulty in the game, as Spidey's (or Venom's, for that matter) movements are rarely in a straight line and missing once can lead to having to start all over again. |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has this as a swimming minigame in the Waterfall Rapids, located in Great Bay. You're then told you have to do it again to get your prize (a bottle). And twice more if you want a Piece of Heart. The dificulty gradually increases every time: You have to pass through 20 rings in 2 minutes in the first race, then 25 in the same time limit in the second, then 20 in only 1 minute and 50 seconds in the third, and finally 25 in that reduced time limit in the fourth. | |

The Gundam Vs Series has this in the mission modes for Alliance vs ZAFT II Plus and Gundam vs Gundam. Then there are levels where the actual objective is "Pass through these three rings", but an infinite number of enemies constantly spawn, letting the player grind at will. In this case, the rings are simply the "off" switch, allowing the player to duck out before he gets killed. | |

Excite Truck has challenge modes which involved either ramp jumps through rings, or navigating through ever-shrinking gates. This is because, unlike most racers, the goal is not to come in first, but score the most points. Every course has a jump where you can attempt to fly through rings for points, although you can score roughly the same amount of points by getting air-time or successful mid-air spins. This returns in the sequel, Excitebots. | |

Some space sims from the early 1990s, particularly X-Wing and derivatives, use this trope for their training levels, which are usually not required to play, though you can get a Bragging Rights Reward for completing them. X-Wing Alliance even puts in a lot of thought into coming up with an in-game reason for its Pass Through the Rings "pilot proving ground" to be a real place and not a holographic simulator. | |

In Mercenaries 2: World in Flames there are several ring/gate/checkpoint races. Most of them have no logical reason for existing. In one you are in a helicopter and told the rings will show you the quickest way to your destination; except, the rings take you on a very long and winding course when you could simply fly in a straight line and get there much faster. And you are timed of course. | |

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.: The rings are created by your aircraft's computer system to assist in complicated maneuvers (such as intercepting enemy aircraft, dodging missiles or dive bombing a target). Not only is this sort of thing actually in development today, but the player can turn it off at any time to increase the plane's maneuverability at the expense of greater stall risk and difficulty of control. | |

Forza Motorsport 4 has Autocross events, where you need to pass through series of cone gates within a set amount of time (taking longer will result in less payout). The cones are arranged in hellish configurations to truly test how responsive your car is - slaloms, sudden braking, and oddly placed gates in turns. Every time you hit a cone or miss the gate, 5 seconds is added onto your lap time. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Several of the mini-games in Kingdom Hearts II, although passing through the rings would just increase your score; it's not really required to hit all of them. The Gummi Missions in the first game. In Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, some of the missions where you need to pick up emblems can devolve into this, as you need to rush from one to the next in order to get full points. On the other hand, you can beat up nearby enemies to refresh the "ring", so it's a bit more involved (and easier) than most examples here. |
