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

This article or section contains a spoiler, an unlockable, or a secret. Please leave the page if you do not wish to view spoilers.

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.

Drivers

There are a total of 54 racers that can be unlocked.
