'''Rings''' are underwater objects that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can interact with in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are colored orange and off-white, with red outer rims. When the player approaches a ring, a small whirlpool can be seen within the inside of the ring. [[Swim]]ming through one will grant the player a brief speed boost. Rings can be found in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], and [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]], usually alongside [[Green Shell]]s or [[Red Shell]]s. Passing through a ring while riding a shell will make Mario or Luigi spin as he is boosted forward.

Sets of similar-looking rings appear in missions where the player must chase [[Guppy]] in the Sea Slide Galaxy and Deep Dark Galaxy. These do not provide a speed boost, but they instead serve as the main objective during Guppy's missions.

Rings or zipper gates[1] are underwater objects that Mario and Luigi can interact with in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are colored orange and off-white, with red outer rims. When the player approaches a ring, a small whirlpool can be seen within the inside of the ring. Swimming through one will grant the player a brief speed boost. Rings can be found in the Sea Slide Galaxy, Deep Dark Galaxy, and Slimy Spring Galaxy, usually alongside Green Shells or Red Shells. Passing through a ring while riding a shell will make Mario or Luigi spin as he is boosted forward.

Sets of similar-looking rings appear in missions where the player must chase Guppy in the Sea Slide Galaxy and Deep Dark Galaxy. These do not provide a speed boost, but they instead serve as the main objective during Guppy's missions.
