The first Red Star Ring will be on the left-hand side rail, but you’ll need to jump quickly back to the right to avoid dying.   Ring Two: This one comes very closely after the first. Slow yourself down on the rail you’re now grinding and jump down to the rail below you. Turn right and the second ring will be on that path. Ring Three: To find this Red Star Ring you will have to grind on some rails once again. The rails for this ring are immediately after the second while following the path forward. The ring will be on the far left side at the end of the left rail, but you will need to move back to the right rail after grabbing it. Ring Four: You will eventually come to some enemies after a laser section (this will be after you enter the chemical plant) that you will have to move through. You can smash through the enemies which will bring you down to the next area with rotating platforms. The Red Star Ring is positioned above the rotating platforms in the corner. Ring Five: You should soon hit a checkpoint and need to follow the natural course until you come to more rotating platforms. You’ll want to sit on this set of platforms until a plume of water forces you down and you can grab the last ring.
