In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]], when a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] jumps through a Goal Ring and passes [[Baby Mario]] to the next Yoshi, it starts spinning slower and slower. After a few seconds, the Goal Ring stops spinning and lands on either a blue dot or a flower. If it lands on a blue dot, nothing happens, and the player continues to the scoreboard and then the next level. However, if the roulette stops on a flower, the player instead goes to a [[Bonus Challenge]] after they leave the scoreboard. After the instant Bonus Challenge, the player goes to the next level. The spots on a Goal Ring always "bloom" in the same order when flowers are collected. The spot on the top of the Goal Ring blooms for the first flower collected, and additional flowers result in the addition of (a) flower(s) every two spots away from the previous one in a counterclockwise direction. If the player missed a flower in the stage, the matching spot in the Goal Ring does not bloom. Landing on one of these flower buds has the same result as landing on a blue dot, thus decreasing the chances of the player's being able to play a Bonus Challenge. Four tall trees stand past the Goal Ring in most courses.

A Goal Ring always loads when the player is a certain distance away from it and always starts spinning from the same spot upon being loaded. As a result, the player can often manipulate whether they get a Bonus Challenge or not by entering the Goal Ring a certain amount of time after loading it. If the player collects at least three flowers in a level, they can [[dash|run]] into the Goal Ring at full speed, and the roulette always stops on the bottom left flower position of the Goal Ring, thus always giving them a Bonus Challenge.
