Goal Ring

The '''GOAL! Ring' is a ring found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 and Yoshi's Island DS''. It is found at the end of each level (except for the Castle and Fortress ones) and acts as the goal. The GOAL! Ring is a circle having all the flowers the player collected in that level and blue dots. When a Yoshi jumps through the GOAL! Ring and passes one of the babies to the next Yoshi, it will start spinning slower and slower. When entered, the word "GOAL!" appears in the top-right corner of the screen.

After a few seconds, the GOAL! Ring will stop spinning and land on either a blue dot or on a Flower. If it lands on a blue dot, then nothing happens and the player continues to the scoreboard and then the next level. However, if the roulette stops on a flower, the player will instantly go to a Bonus Challenge when it goes to the scoreboard. After the instant Bonus Challenge, the player will go to the next level. If the player missed a Flower in the stage, the matching spot in the GOAL! Ring will not bloom; landing on one of these flower buds has the same result as landing on a blue dot.
