Gold rings are objects which appear in some fan fames, such as Rayman Redemption. They allow Rayman to grapple to them and reach far places in some levels.
In Rayman Redemption
Gold rings are similar to the pink rings encountered in Rayman Redemption, introduced by the Monk in Gong Heights to help him on his quest to defeat Mr Dark. Despite what is implied by the game, gold rings are not unlocked by meeting the Monk as they are already available by default, unlike the pink helpers with the toontotems. Only the first gold ring in Gong Heights is placed by talking to the Monk, and therefore, completing the level is not mandatory to progress through some of the game's worlds, unlike opening the toontotems.
Rayman can grapple to gold rings by throwing his telescopic fist at them, which will cause him to rotate around the ring on a rope of sparkling particles. Rayman can then jump off the rings at any time to propel himself very far in any direction or angle, allowing him to reach very high or distant places.
They are most prominently featured in the second part of Gong Heights and in the Ring Toss Tussle Magician challenge.
In Rayman ReDesigner
The gold rings return from Rayman Redemption in Rayman ReDesigner, and are found in the utility tab of the level editor. They can be linked to events such as gendoors, but cannot be flipped or be assigned movement behaviors.
If solid collisions obstruct the swinging of Rayman while grappling to a gold ring, he will automatically fall from it. Rayman can however move through passthrough tiles while attached to a gold ring, which can be used to get below them and to design more ways to get around the environment in custom levels.
Similar objects like the pink rings are also featured, as well as the new metal rings which have a very similar appearance to the gold rings.
Trivia
- Gold rings go unnamed in Rayman Redemption and are referred to internally as "FullRing". In Rayman ReDesigner, the editor refers to them as "Goldring".
