Green, blue, and red Rupees can be collected instead of rings.

The Zone features many easter eggs and references to The Legend of Zelda series, including the appearance of Fairies that restore Sonic's hearts, Gossip Stones that react differently to attacks, Cuccos that retaliate when attacked, Hyrule Castle in the background of the overworld, Link traversing the sky with his Crimson Loftwing, using Bombs on rocks to open secret areas, and the use of various The Legend of Zelda songs and sounds. Included are the Overworld Theme, the Dungeon Theme from A Link to the Past, and the jingle for solved puzzles.
