Goal Gate

The Goal Gate is a goal that debuts in Fake Item Box Labyrinth. It resembles the Giant Gate from Super Mario World, except it is made out of metal and shaped like an arch with the word "GOAL" above it. Additionally, it lacks a bar that moves up and down.

=== Fake Item Box Labyrinth ===
The Goal Gate makes its debut in Fake Item Box Labyrinth. In this game, it is located at the end of the first three acts of every labyrinth. To unlock the Goal Gate, Fake Item Box must collect the three keys hidden throughout the level before the timer runs out. The Keys may be hidden in enemies, hard to reach places, or even in plain sight. The Boss Gate is present at the end of the fourth act of each labyrinth, which acts similar to the Goal Gate in that Fake Item Box has to collect three keys to unlock it, except it leads to the labyrinth's boss battle instead of simply completing the stage.
Collecting at least 50 Coins in an act leads to the labyrinth's Bonus Stage, where Fake Item Box must navigate a maze within the time limit to get the labyrinth's Lunar Mushroom, similar to how collecting at least 50 Rings in Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Knuckles' Chaotix, Sonic Pocket Adventure, Sonic 4: Episode 1, Sonic 4: Episode 2, and the 3DS version of Sonic Lost World grants access to the Special Stages to grab the Chaos Emeralds.
=== Yoshi the Speedster ===
The Goal Gate returns in Yoshi the Speedster, awarding a different amount of points depending on how fast Yoshi finishes the stage. To access the Bonus Stages in this game, Yoshi must search each act of a Zone for the ten Red Coins hidden throughout the level and finish the stage without dying, similar to how Sonic Advance 2 requires the character to find seven Special Rings hidden throughout the stage and finish the stage without dying. There are two types of Bonus Stages in this game, which varies depending on the act:
* The first act of each Zone leads to a Bonus Challenge, where Yoshi has to collect as many Coins as possible within the time limit.
* The second act of each Zone leads to a Star Challenge, where Yoshi has to destroy a certain amount of UFOs to earn a Destiny Star before time expires.
The Bonus Stage layout is similar to that of Sonic Advance 2, where the player runs around in a flat field littered with Coins. To earn larger amounts of Coins, Yoshi has to collect several of them in rapid succession, which will cause a multiplier to appear. Collecting more Coins steadily raises the multiplier that increases the worth of Coins.
