Alright, speed demons and ring hunters, let’s talk about the Donpa Grand Prix in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. You’re already blasting past your rivals, but what about grabbing those shiny, oh-so-tempting Red Star Rings? They’re not just for show; collecting these bad boys earns you extra Donpa Tickets and proves you’re a true master of the track.

But let’s be real—finding them can be a pain when you’re also trying not to eat a face full of wall. Don’t you worry. I’ve got the ultimate cheat sheet right here. So, buckle up, buttercup. It’s time to go ring hunting.

E-Stadium: Your Donpa Grand Prix Kick-Off

Welcome to the neon-drenched madness of E-Stadium! This track is all about sharp turns and strategic boosts. Keep your eyes peeled, because these rings are tucked away in some sneaky spots.

  1. Ring #1: Right out of the gate, take the first right turn. As you approach the next corner, hug that right curb like it owes you money. The first ring is waiting for you there.
  2. Ring #2: After you nail that first huge jump and land on the straightaway littered with boost pads, ignore them (I know, it hurts). Instead, stick to the left side. The ring is waiting for you as you whip around the next turn.
  3. Ring #3: See those ramps on the left from the last straightaway? Hit the one on the far left to launch yourself into the third ring. Easy peasy.
  4. Ring #4 (Lap 3 Only): On your final lap, a glorious new path opens up between the ramps where you found the third ring. Blast up that middle path and through a Travel Ring. You’ll be teleported, and your prize is sitting right on this exclusive new route.
  5. Ring #5: On the very last right turn before the finish line, stay on the track and hit the boost pad. This final ring is your victory lap bling.

Rainbow Garden: A Scenic and Sneaky Hunt

Don’t let the pretty flowers and gorgeous views fool you; Rainbow Garden is hiding its rings in plain sight. It’s a mix of soaring through canyons and drifting through caves.

  1. Ring #1: As you enter the flying section near the start, veer to the right side of the canyon. You’ll spot the first ring sitting pretty inside a Dash Ring.
  2. Ring #2: Once your wheels are back on solid ground, you’ll find the second ring immediately on the right side as you navigate the turn.
  3. Ring #3: Deep inside the cave, you’ll see a row of boost pads. The third ring is chilling on the first pad to your right. Don’t miss it!
  4. Ring #4: After you exit the cave, you’ll race down a massive flower bed. This ring is right in the middle of all that floral chaos.
  5. Ring #5 (Lap 3 Only): On the last lap, when you land from the flying section, take the right turn, but then go straight instead of following the main path. A new shortcut has been unlocked, and the final ring is your reward for being so observant.

Water Palace: Making a Splash in the Donpa Grand Prix

Get ready to get wet! The Water Palace is a slick, waterfall-filled course that demands precision. The rings here are all about taking the road less traveled.

  1. Ring #1: From the starting line, immediately stick to the right. You’ll snag this ring as you drift around the very first corner of the race.
  2. Ring #2: When you approach the left turn that takes you under a waterfall, hug that left wall. The ring is tucked away, waiting for a pro like you.
  3. Ring #3: As you enter the palace and take the first right turn, you’ll hit a small jump. The third ring is floating right in the middle of it.
  4. Ring #4: The second you hit the big water section, look straight ahead. This ring is right at the beginning of the path, almost a freebie.
  5. Ring #5 (Lap 3 Only): During the final lap’s water section, a new path will open up on the right. Take it, hit the ramp at the end, and launch yourself into the final, glorious Red Star Ring.

Now you have the map to look like a total legend in the Donpa Grand Prix. Go out there, collect those rings, and leave your rivals in the dust. You’ve got this!
