This article is a stub. It already has some of the necessary information on this topic, but it could be expanded upon. You can help the SRB2 Wiki and its users by expanding it! |
Challenges is an option in the Extras menu of Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers which allows you to see the various challenges that the game has to offer. Akin to games like Super Smash Brothers, whenever a challenge is completed, it will unlock hints for the challenges around it on the Challenges screen, with the layout being randomized per save file.
Unlockables

Challenges in Ring Racers fall into one of six categories based on what they would unlock, and can have various conditions in order to unlock. Challenges which are hinted at can get unlocked early by using a Chao Key, unless they are a big challenge - in which case they need to be unlocked by completing all the other challenges surrounding them, excluding other big challenges, and require 10 Chao Keys to unlock.
