In the North American manual's story, Sonic sets out to rescue his friends from Dr. Robotnik, using his Super Sonic Spin Attack.	`Reach for the Rings!Reach for the Rings!`	Manual
The North American manual says that while Sonic holds any rings, an enemy's attack costs him all of them instead of a life, that 100 rings earn an extra life, and that collecting enough rings lets him warp to a Secret Zone, a rotating maze holding one of six Chaos Emeralds.	`Reach for the Rings!power-upsSecret ZoneSecret Zone`	Manual
