Sonic the Hedgehog

Code: Level Select

At the title screen, press Up, Down, Left, Right. If done correctly, a ring sound plays. While still at the title screen, hold A and press Start to go to a level select screen with a sound test.

Code: Control Mode

At the title screen, press C, C, Up, Down, Left, Right. If done correctly, a ring sound plays. Control mode is now active.

While paused with control mode active, A quits to the title screen, holding B gives slow motion, and C advances one frame.

Note: The code is actually Up, Down, Left, Right, but you must press C at least twice before the final Right. This is why Up, C, Down, C, Left, C, Right also works.

Code: Debug Mode

First activate control mode (C, C, Up, Down, Left, Right) at the title screen. Then hold A while pressing Start and keep holding A until the level fades in. If done correctly, the score becomes hex coordinates and the timer shows a sprite count. Also, Sonic only dies from kill planes, crushing, or drowning.

With debug mode active, you have control mode’s paused controls. Additionally, pressing B during gameplay enters placement mode.

In placement mode, A cycles forward through objects, hold A and press C cycles backward through objects, C places the current object, and B exits placement mode.
