It appears partway through most stages and serves as a [[checkpoint]]. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] loses a life after passing through one, he can restart at the point of the Checkpoint Ring. Also, passing through a Checkpoint Ring increases the Yoshi's [[Countdown Timer]] by ten and turns all onscreen enemies into [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]]s. However, if the player returns to the map or gets a [[Game Over]], they have to start the course from the beginning.


If Yoshi dies after reaching a Middle Ring in the first game or the DS game, the player will keep the star count (including the extra 10 from reaching the ring) and eggs that they had when they touched it. However, in the 3DS game, the player's star and egg counts will reset to 10 and zero, respectively, if the player dies and restarts from a Middle Ring.
If a Yoshi loses a life after reaching a Checkpoint Ring in games of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] up until ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the player keeps the star count (including the extra ten from reaching the ring) and [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]] that they had when they touched it. However, in ''Yoshi's New Island'', the player's star and egg counts reset to ten and zero, respectively, if a Yoshi loses a life and restarts from a Checkpoint Ring.


Despite their name, Middle Rings are not always placed in the middle of a stage. Some can be found at the very beginning, or not until near the end. A few stages even have multiple Middle Rings and there are always a couple before boss fights.
