If you enter this before the title screen goes away you should hear a chime. And when you do, push and hold the A button then push start. You will now see the stage select screen. To go to a level just highlight it and push start. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debug Mode After you enter the level select code, press reset or go back to the title screen some how, and then push the following buttons: up, C, down, C, left, C, right, and finally C. After you push right you will hear a chime (again). And after you push the last C, press and hold A and push start. You see the level select screen, but when you enter a level this time push and hold A and start until sonic comes up on the screen. If the score looks weird, then you entered it correctly. When you enter this code you will not only get to use the debug mode, but you can survive if you are hit when you don't have any rings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How To Use The Debug Mode Button To Push Effect A ............ this will change Sonic into a different object B ............ to change Sonic into an object, press B again to change him back into himself (while you're an object you can go through obstacles) C ............ this will place the object on the screen Tricks To Do When Game Is Paused: A ............ resets the game B ........... hold and game game plays in slow motion C ........... push to play frame by frame (Also you can have a shaded level by pressing C and holding it when you press start to begin a stage) *some things might look a little messed up, (like the objects you make). These effects are not permanent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic 2 The Hedgehog -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level Select At the title screen select options. Move down to the sound test and using button B play (in this order) sounds 19, 65, 9, and 17. After you play sound 17 you will hear a chime, then hit start while the sound test is highlighted (or reset the game). At the the title screen hold down A and press start. This should make the level select appear. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debug Mode When you're at the level select screen go down to the new sound test (the one oat the level select) and with button B play sounds 1, 9, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, and 4. You should hear a chime at the beginning of sound 4. When you enter a level this time hold down A and then press start. If the score looks different than before, you've entered the code correctly (To see how to use the debug mode turn to page 4). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Emeralds Code To start with all emeralds go to the level select sound test and with button B play sounds 4, 1, 2, and 6. At the beginning of sound 6 you should hear the sound you hear when you get a chaos emerald. Now you have all the chaos emeralds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Super Sonic When Sonic gets all the emeralds he is able to turn into Super Sonic. Being Super Sonic is like having super shoes and invincibility at the same time plus having it last longer. As long as he has rings he will stay Super Sonic. Super Sonic is not in all of the Sonic games. !!!!WARNING!!!! Super Sonic loses a ring per second and when his rings run out Super Sonic will turn back into regular Sonic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Super "Tails" After you put in the all emeralds code and the debug code, become Super Sonic while playing a Sonic and "Tails" game. Then turn into an item box, place 2 on the screen, break them, and "Tails" is now Super "Tails"! Now get hit and lose your rings and get another 50 rings and you both will be Super! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic 3 The Hedgehog -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level Select Turn on the game, right after it says Sega the screen turns black and Sonic comes on the screen. During the time the screen is black press (with the D-Pad) up, up, down, down, up, up, up, and up. This code is incredible hard and relies mainly on luck. You will hear a chime if you get it in fast enough. But if at first you don't succeed try, try again. When you hear the chime press up on "1 player" (at the title screen) and you will get a new option: "Sound Test" press start and you will see the level select / sound test screen. Some levels that you'll see won't exist in this game. This is because they are in Sonic and Knuckles. Push start to enter a level. Also Press C & B at the same time and see what happens (Talk about hyper)! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debug Mode At the level select instead of pushing start to enter a level hold down A and then press start. Hold both buttons down until Sonic shows up on the screen. If the score is messed up you put it in correctly. To turn into Super Sonic create a item box and break it (or Super Tails, that's right. You can play as Super Tails if you pick him as a character and then break an item box. Player 2 can't change into Super Tails).(To find out how to use the debug mode go to page 4.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic Spinball The Hedgehog -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secret Multi-Ball Stage To get into the secret multi-ball stage collect all the rings in a stage and look for a large ring in that stage and enter it. The multi ball stage is like the bonus stage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level Select First go to options screen and (with controller 1) push A, down, B, down, C, down, A, B, up, A, C, up, B, C, and up. If you entered this correctly you should hear something. Go back to the title screen and hold down A and press start to go to level 2 or hold down B and press start to enter level 3 or hold down C and press start to enter level 4. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic & Knuckles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secret Special Stages You know the biggest question about Sonic and Knuckles? Its if you can play Knuckles in any other games than Sonic 2 & 3. Well, yes in fact you can play them with other Genesis games (maybe even other systems). First hook up any Genesis game (other than Sonic 1, 2, or 3) to Sonic and Knuckles and turn it on. You'll see a screen that says "No Way". Now push buttons A, B, and C all at once. Choose your Character by pressing A, B or C to change the color of the two balls(red for Knuckles and blue for (Guess) Sonic). Press start to play in a Secret Special stage. When you hook up S & K to Sonic 1 you can play more than one special stage. Beat the first one and then you go on to another one. You can also enter passwords so you don't have to start from the first stage every time you play. If you defeat a stage with all the rings and all the Blue spheres you get a difficulty rating for the level. If You get a perfect (all rings and spheres) on any game other than Sonic 1 you get a difficulty rating and a password so you can play that stage with Sonic 1. So I admit that it isn't playing Knuckles in the other games, but it is still worth knowing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic And Knuckles hooked on to Sonic 3 When you hook S and K and Sonic 3 together, you get to play both games all the way through using Sonic, Tails, Sonic and Tails, or Knuckles. If You play with Sonic you can turn into Super Sonic in Sonic 3, and if you also get the Super Emeralds in "Sonic & Knuckles" you can play as Hyper Sonic, who has the ability to double jump in any direction and kill every enemy on the screen at the same time (cool). Also you can play as Super Tails if you get all the emeralds (Chaos and Super Emeralds). Its like Super Sonic (invincible and faster) and he has four birds that hover around his head and kill the enemies on the screen. Last are Super Knuckles and Hyper Knuckles. Super Knuckles is like Super Sonic. Hyper Knuckles is like Super Knuckles and when he glides onto something he can climb, he kills everything on the screen. One last note about Sonic and Knuckles, each character has a different course and ending to the story. Now that's a cool game! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic 2 The Hedgehog For Game Gear -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level Select During the intro sequence push and hold start. When the title screen appears keep holding start and press and hold left, down, A, and B until you hear a chime. Let go of all the buttons you are holding and press start and you'lll see a stage select screen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic Chaos -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sound Test* When it says to press start at the title screen press the following directions instead: down, down, up, up, left, right, left, right, then hold down buttons 1 and 2 and then press start. Use button 1 or 2 to hear the sounds and the D-pad to highlight a sound. Also to see Sonic throw a fireball, roll the D-pad down, down-right, and right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level Select* At the title screen put in the following directions with the D-Pad: up, up, down, down, right, left, right, left, and then press start. And there you have it, the Level Select Screen. * Codes don't always work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic CD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title Screen Trick This isn't a very useful code, but it still is a code that a true Sonic fan would appreciate knowing. This code allows you to move the clouds at the title screen around. At the title screen, hold down the A button and on the D-Pad put in the following directions: up, down, down, down, down, and finally up, then let go of the A button. If you get this in correctly and fast enough, you should hear a chime. Then take controller 2 to control the clouds. On the D-Pad, press left to zoom out, and right to zoom in. Press up to bring horizon towards you, and down to push it away. Press button A to rotate the clouds, and button C to rotate them the other way. The B button to speed up the motion of the clouds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stage Select At the title screen using the D-pad press the following directions: up, down, down, left, right, and button B. It will say the level number then A, B, C, or D. A stands for the present version of the level. B stands for the past version of the level. C stands for the good future of the level. And last D stands for the bad future of the level. On the final stage of each zone there will only be a C and D version of the level, because these levels take place in the future only.Also there is something that is called "coming", if you can figure out what this means, please tell me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sound Test At the title screen, using the D-Pad press the following directions: down, down, down, left, right, and then button A. Now you can hear the game's voices, sounds, and the background music. Here are some secret combinations of sounds, after entering each press start: Effect FM PCM DA DJ Sonic 42 03 01 Japanimation Sonic 44 11 09 Human Sonic* 42 04 21 Secret Special Stage** 07 07 07 Okay??*** 46 12 25 Debug Mode**** 40 12 11 * This half human, half Sonic is very disturbing. One thing to notice is that when it says Hedgehog, it separates it into two words: Hedge hog. Whatever that means. ** This will bring you to a special stage that has a huge Robotnik head in the background. If you happen to beat this (it's not that hard) you will see a screen of credits that are different than the ones that you see when you beat the game. *** Now this is probably the weirdest of the codes and the Japanese words in the back add to the effect. Roughly translated it says, "Infinite fun: Sega Enterprises...picture of Evil Man." Okay?? **** This is the Debug mode code, and it will show a picture of Tails next to a race car, and words saying, "SEE YOU NEXT GAME". I did some research and found out that there was a Sonic racing game called "Sonic Drift". This game only came out in Japan, but there is a sequel that came out in the states. Both these games came out for the Game Gear. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time Attack Tricks There are three different tricks that are accessible by the Time Attack menu. The first thing you need to do is beat the game. All of these codes require you getting your total Time Attack time under a certain time. Okay here goes: D. A. Garden: First play until your total time is under 37'27"57. When you do this go back to the title screen and you'll find a new option, D. A. Garden. Use the D-Pad to move the planet around. Press button A to choose a tune to listen to. Use button B to control the planet's rotation (hold it down to speed it up). Last press button C to control the zoom of the planet. Bonus Round Time Attack: This one a little bit harder to activate. Get your time under 30'21"05. While you are in the Time Attack menu press left on the D-Pad, and you'll be able to race for the best times in special zones. Visual Mode: Now this one is HARD! Get your time below 24'46"12. After you've done this go back to the title screen and you'll find a new option, Visual Mode. Besides the cool menu screen you can view the games good and bad endings. Plus, you'll be able to see a one of a kind pencil test demo. How to cheat on these Tricks: Now I know what your thinking, "How am I supposed to get my time under that!?!" Well I have your answer. Before you go into the Time Attack menu, enter the debug code. Then go through a level in Time Attack and no matter how long you take, it will show up as 00'00"00! Now is that cool or is that cool? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Closing Thank you for taking the time to read this.
