Each stage features a multitude of different routes to discover. Some are quicker, while others will yield more rings, and potentially even a Red Star Ring. Finding these routes can be tricky, particularly since some are dependent on timing your jumps or attacks on enemies before they fly away.
Comparatively, it is easier to locate new paths during Classic Sonic gameplay, as they are less obscured by the background. Sometimes slowing down and jumping into an unexpected area can yield benefits (though this can occasionally lead to your untimely death). Once you have found the optimal route, using it when replaying the stages can help you to unlock that elusive S ranking.
