| | A '''Middle Ring''' (also known as a '''Checkpoint Ring'''<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHms7CddrdM</ref>) is a ring of light in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. It appears partway through most stages and serves as a checkpoint of sorts. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] loses a life after passing through one, he can restart at the point of the Middle Ring. Also, passing through a Middle Ring will increase Yoshi's [[Countdown Timer|Star Power]] by ten (giving him one and ten more seconds) and turn all on-screen enemies into stars. |

This ring of light appears partway through most stages and serves as a [[checkpoint]]. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] loses a life after passing through one, he can restart at the point of the Checkpoint Ring. Also, passing through a Checkpoint Ring increases the Yoshi's [[Countdown Timer]] by ten and turns all onscreen enemies into [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]]s. However, if the player returns to the map or gets a [[Game Over]], they have to start the course from the beginning. If a Yoshi loses a life after reaching a Checkpoint Ring in games of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] up until ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the player keeps the star count (including the extra ten from reaching the ring) and [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]] that they had when they touched it. However, in ''Yoshi's New Island'', the player's star and egg counts reset to ten and zero, respectively, if a Yoshi loses a life and restarts from a Checkpoint Ring.

| Despite their original name, "Middle Ring," Checkpoint Rings are not always placed in the middle of a stage. Some can be found at the very beginning, or not until near the end. A few stages even have multiple Checkpoint Rings, and there are always a couple before boss fights. | | Despite their name, Middle Rings are not always placed in the middle of a stage.
