Confused Demo
While the demo is playing, hold A + B + C. Sonic will get confused, lose his place, and possibly die.

Control Mode (From SC Takeshi)
At the title screen, press Up, C, Down, C, Left, C, Right. While playing, you can pause the game and use A to restart, B for slow motion, and C for frame advance.

Debug Mode (From SC Takeshi)
Enable Control Mode. After pressing Start to begin a game, hold A until you see Sonic. If you see a bunch of hex numbers on the top of the screen, you're in Debug Mode.
To start debugging, press B, then you can select any sprite in that level and put it on the screen. To select a different sprite, press A, and to place it on the screen, press C. Note that sprite selection is different from Zone to Zone. Also, instead of displaying the time elapsed, it displays the number of sprites currently on the screen. Control Mode functions work as well.

Note: This only works on the first production releases of Sonic.

Extra Lives (From SegaSages)
In Green Hill Zone - Act 3, there is a 1-Up at the very bottom of the level. Collect it along with enough rings to make 100 for a second life. Next, grab the 1-Up at the top of the loop-de-loop and die. Repeat until you have enough lives.

Get all Emeralds (From SegaSages)
This cheat allows you to start at the First Level with all the Emeralds, and with lots of Continues. Use the Level Select cheat (see above) to get to the Special Zone. When you get the Emerald, and have entered into the First Zone, press Reset.
Use the Level Select cheat to get to the Special Zone again. When you get the next Emerald, and have entered the First Zone, press Reset again.

When you have all the Emeralds, continue on with the first level. You get to keep the Emeralds and the Continues accumulated so far.

Level Select (From SC Takeshi)
At the title screen, hold A then press Up, Down, Left, Right. When you hear the chime, press Start.
If that doesn't work, try this: at the title screen, press Up, Down, Left, Right, hold A, and press Start. After doing this once, you only need to hold Start + A to enter the level select.

Marble Zone Shortcut (From SegaSages)
In Marble Zone act 3 you will find three chandeliers with spikes in them. Go to the far wall (on the right) and jump to the right to find some goodies. Now jump through the wall on the right again, but be careful of the other chandelier.

Scrap Brain Teleport (From SegaSages)
On the last level (Scrap Brain), find the ledges that move right then left. Go to the left side of the wall and wait for the platform to move. As soon as it starts to move left, duck. You'll go through the wall. While here, press Left to teleport right and Right to teleport to the left.

Secret Special Stages (From SegaSags) While using the debug mode, enter any special stage. Turn into any object and travel outside the special stage area. Ou will fall into a secret special stage filled with one-ups and chaos emeralds.

To enter Debug Mode, play these sounds from the level select screen: 1, 9, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4. Press Start and hold A.
To start debugging, press B, then you can select any sprite in that level and put it on the screen. To select a different sprite, press A, and to place it on the screen, press C. Note that sprite selection is different from Zone to Zone. Also, instead of displaying the time elapsed, it displays the number of sprites currently on the screen.

Easy Chaos Emeralds (From SegaSages & SC Takeshi)
Start the game as you normally would. Get a Chaos Emerald, reset the game, and start the game from the options menu. You will keep the emeralds you have gained so far each time you start from the options menu.

Emerald Hill Shortcut (From SegaSages)
To breeze through Emerald Hill 1 and 2, connect Sonic & Knuckles with Sonic 2 and play as Knuckles. Climb as high as you can and glide to the right. You'll reach the end of the level in seconds!

Extra Lives in the Chemical Plant (from SegaSages)
If you have Sonic & Knuckles, hook it onto Sonic 2. Play until Chemical Plant Act 1. When you get to the wall with the Spiny badnik and the warp tube on the floor. Break open the tube and go through it. When you come out you will see a Ring Box next to a tower. Climb up the tower and on the top you will find one 1-up. Glide left and you will find another 1-up. Glide to the left one more time and you will find yet one more 1-up. Since you won't want to go through the level again just glide to the right until you get to the tower you started from. Get on that first tower and glide to the right. The Act will be over and you will have 3 lives more that how much you started the act with.

WITH CODES 44 THRU 57, THE COUNTER DOESN'T
SHOW THE EXTRA RINGS, BUT YOU DO GET THEM

SBJA-HJWJ/SBJA-HJV2 Rings worth 2 in special stages--Sonic
SBJA-HNWJ/SBJA-HNV2 Rings worth 3 in special stages--Sonic
SBJA-HTWJ/SBJA-HTV2 Rings worth 4 in special stages--Sonic
SBJA-HYWJ/SBJA-HYV2 Rings worth 5 in special stages--Sonic
SBJA-H2WJ/SBJA-H2V2 Rings worth 6 in special stages--Sonic
SBJA-H6WJ/SBJA-H6V2 Rings worth 7 in special stages--Sonic

SBJA-H6WR/SBJA-H6V8 Rings worth 7 in special stages--Tails
SBJA-HAWR/SBJA-HAV8 Rings worth 8 in special stages--Tails
Codes 1 THRU 16 also work for Tails in a one-player game. There is only one total for Sonic's rings in a one-player game. Normally, you have to grab all seven chaos emeralds, get at least 50 rings, and jump to turn into Super Sonic (and be invincible). But by choosing from among Codes 58 thru 64 and 65 thru 69, you can reduce the number of emeralds and rings you have to get. With Code 70, you won't lose your rings with time and drop back down to regular Sonic.

To help you become Super Sonic on the last level, where there are normally no rings, Codes 58, 65 and 72 will do the trick--just jump. Finally, access the level select menu with Code 71.

Alternative Codes: Use these if the first set didn't work.
