A Ring Menu (also known as a radial menu, a pie menu, or a weapon wheel) is an interface element where a list of possible actions are displayed in a ring or circle, often centered around a character. That said, Ring Menus aren't exclusive to selecting stuff in the middle of gameplay; they can sometimes be found in pause menus as a way of organizing menu items. This type of menu is navigated in two general methods: Using the directional pad or buttons (or driving wheel in an Arcade Game that uses one) to rotate the menu like a wheel, with the item in a specific, static section being the one highlighted for use. The player will be required to move through each item on the list on the way to the one they want, but the upshot is that all items on the wheel are visible at the same time. Using an analog stick, a mouse, or a motion controller to "point" in the direction of the desired item, while the menu itself remains stationary. Once the player memorizes the position of the items on the wheel, this can be one of the fastest methods of accessing them. This option only became prevalent once console controllers gained a second analog stick to support this function across a wider swath of games. A practical upshot of this format is that it can hide the fact that not all options are yet available to the player, since removing one option will not leave an empty space behind. The second type also has the advantage of being quicker than a traditional menu, sometimes quick enough to be accessed without having to pause the actual gameplay in progress, thus allowing the player to be more fluid in their item selection in involved gameplay sequences. Compare Spinventory. |

The Metroid Prime Trilogy uses this to switch between Samus's visors and beam weapons. In the Nintendo GameCube originals, they correspond to the controller's directional pad and second analog stick respectively; Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (and the Trilogy edition) makes this explicit by overlaying the menu across the game screen for selection with the motion controls. | |

Hyrule Warriors had two versions of the item inventory. One which just cycled from left two right, but the other was a direct copy of the Skyward Sword menu. The difference being that you touch the Gamepad's screen to select the item rather than pointing the Wii Remote, and they only display as many slots as you have items, so there is no interface spoiler. With all the items you get in the game, this means there are 5 slots, but you can potentially go up to 7 or as low as 4 depending on the mission and if you choose to use the limited items. | |

Grand Theft Auto V has three wheels: The radio wheel, the character wheel, and the weapon wheel. On the radio wheel, you press a button to open the wheel and choose which radio station you want to listen to, depending on the area you're currently in. For the character wheel, it works the same as the radio wheel, except you determine which character you want to switch to. For the weapon wheel, it works the same as the previous two wheels, except you determine which weapon you can to use in combat (ranging from melee to ranged to thrown). | |

Saints Row uses a type 2 with two such wheels: a larger one holding guns selected with the left stick, and a smaller one for food/drugs selected with the D-pad. The Third changes this slightly - the D-Pad now selects which grenade to throw, as food items were removed entirely and grenades do not need to be equipped like other weapons to be used. | |

The Wii versions of Trauma Center use the second type. The hand and bandage tools are removed (the Bandages are only used at the end of an operation, anyways) so that there are an even 8-points for directional tool switching. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's probably easier to play the game this way than on the DS. | |

Animal Crossing: New Horizons adds the Tool Wheel, allowing the player to access a ring of just their Tools instead of having to pick it from their inventory. Unfortunately it doesn't replace the inventory outright, as the Tools still need to be in your inventory so they can be put onto the Tool Wheel, taking up precious slots. | |

Ratchet & Clank: Every game features a Quick Select wheel accessed by holding Triangle to get fast access to your eight chosen weapons / gadgets (or Clank's various commands). The second game paused the gameplay while the wheel was up, and later games even expanded the menu to hold two or more 'pages' of items. While Ratchet & Clank wasn't the first video game to implement this mechanic, it did popularize it; there's a very good reason why almost every other "point to select" ring menu listed here is after the original Ratchet. | |
