Red Star Rings

Red Star Rings are a new currency introduced in the Sonic Shock update. They are a semi-rare resource that is used for many core features of the game. They are very similar to Rings in appearance, only being red in color, now with a star in the middle. They originate from Sonic Colors.

== Tips ==
* Save your Red Rings for more important upgrades, such as Friends or Trails that come later in a zone or have higher base stats. Early game sources are very limited and should be used accordingly.
* Once you complete the main zone quests, you'll be able to do adventures for the character in the zone (e.g., Sonic in Green Hill). These will provide you one of the two renewable sources of Red Rings, and can be done every four hours.
* Once you hit level 50, you can use the Auto-Run feature to gather XP, Rings, and Red Rings, while you are not actively playing the game. The rate is pretty slow, at five minutes per Red Ring, so this method will just be supplemental to adventures.
* Sometimes events can give you a large bonus of Red Rings, such as Android Anomaly and Hologram Havoc. Be sure to check back every week to see if there are any new ones.
