Do these codes, and stick it to those Badniks! Give Robotnik a dose of his own medicine! Pass through that trap like it wasn't even there!

All codes were tested by myself and fellow fans on the 'Net; however, if there is an error on the codes, notify me at once, and I'll correct it as soon as I can.

Sonic 3D Blast -Saturn

: As either Sonic or Knuckles, start a new game.
: In the Mushroom Hill Zone, run as far as that elevator thing
  (the one you need to push DOWN to go up).
: Grab on and push:
: LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, UP, UP, UP.
: If you did this right, you'll hear a ring sound.  Then:
: For MegaDrive or Genesis: press RESET
  For Sonic Jam (Saturn): press SIMUTANEOUSLY A+B+C+START to go to title screen.
: When you get to title screen, press A (hold) and then press START.
  Now you'll be in the Stage Select!

In the level select, there should be numbers in the top left, you can change with button C.
00, 01, or 02 plays as Sonic, while 03 plays as Knuckles.
Lava Reef Zone Act 3 is Sonic & Tails' boss, and Lava Reef Act 4 is really Hidden Palace Zone.
Sky Sanctuary Act 1 is the way Sonic plays it, while Sky Sanctuary Act 2 is the way Knuckles plays it.
The Doomsday Act 2 is really Death Egg Zone Act 2, second boss. (This is the final boss if you didn't get all of the Chaos Emeralds.)
If you try to play a Sonic 3 zone, it starts you off in Mushroom Hill Zone.
If you are playing as Knuckles, and try to choose The Doomsday Zone, you'll be greeted by a buzzer.
(That means you can't play the zone. D'oh!)

There IS a way for Knuckles to play in the Death Egg Zone, just select it as Knuckles in the Level Select. However, it is impossible to destroy the Act 1 boss (Knuckles can't jump high enough), and getting through Act 2 is HARD...but it can be done, because I did it!

Code 4-2: Level Select & Sound Test
Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic 3 (Sonic 3 & Knuckles)

Same as the above code, EXCEPT... In Angel Island Zone, run to the right until you get to the jungle vine which swings left and right.
Grab on and do the S&K code (Code 4-1).
If you did this right, at the title screen, scroll down until you see an option called "Sound Test". Then press START on the option to access the sound test--and level select!

The menu is the same as above, but choosing a Sonic 3 zone actually take you to that zone,
00 is Sonic & Tails, and 02 is Tails alone. 01 is still Sonic alone, and 03 is still Knuckles alone.

Code 4-3: Level Select & Sound Test
Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic 2 (Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic 2)
Yeah, it's another level select code, but this is a special one--wait 'til you see Code #4-4!

: <title>
: Press UP, UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT.
: If you did this right, you'll hear a ring sound. Now (while you're still on the title screen):
: Press A (hold) and then press START. The Stage Select awaits you. (Ignore Sonic's face on the screen on the Sound Test; you'll still play as Knuckles.)

Code 4-4: Debug Mode
Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic 2 (Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic 2)
Much like the Sonic 2 debug code, this lets you get as many rings as you want, or as many enemies as you want (but why would you want to do that?!).

: In the Level Select screen (code 4-3), play sounds #'s
1, 9, 9, 4, 1, 0, 1, 8 (pressing C after each one to play the sounds).
: Select your Zone, press A (hold) and then press START.

: <during game>
  Button A=change item/character when debug mode is on; jump when off
  Button B=debug mode on/off
  Button C=place item/character on field when debug mode is on; jump when off

: As either Sonic or Knuckles or Tails, start a new game.

: Do the level select code on the Angel Island Zone, Act 1 (Code 4-2).  In case you forgot what
  the code was, do this while hanging on one of the swinging vines:
: Press LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, UP, UP, UP.  You will hear a ring if you did this
  correctly.
: While still on the swinging jungle vine, pause the game and then press A. The game will
  restart.  Like in Code 4-2, you will see a new option--the "SOUND TEST" option in the main
  menu.  Highlight it, press START, and select the Mushroom Hill Zone, Act 1 once you get to the
  Sound Test/Level Select.

: Go to the first elevator machine thingy (I still can't think of a name for it, it's the one you have
  to push DOWN to go up) in the Zone.  (You'll usually see it next to a Badnik named "Madmole"
  that throws mushrooms.)
: Grab on the handle and re-enter the level-select code you did earlier (this is also in Code 4-1).
: It's the same thing as earlier: LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, UP, UP, UP.

: Again, you will hear a ring if you did this code correctly.  While still on the elevator machine,
  pause the game and press A.  Again, the game will restart. (Can you say Déjà vu?)

: The code is now complete, but you will have to start a level a bit differently.  If you want to
  start a saved game or a level from the Level Select Menu, do these things:

|     If you want to debug a saved game, do this:
      <title>
      Highlight 1 player, Press A(hold), then press START.  Once you select your game, press A
      again.

|     If you want to debug a game on the Level Select Menu, do this:
      <title>
      Highlight Sound Test, press A (hold), then press START.  Select your Zone, then press
      A again.

  On both selections, don't let go of both the A and START buttons until you get to the menu!
 

: <during game>
  Button A=change item when debug mode is on; reverse gravity of character when off
  Button B=edit mode on/off
  Button C=place item on screen when debug mode is on; jump when off

  <when paused>
  Button A=Reset game
  Button B (hold)=Slow Motion
  Button C=Frame Advance

: <title while Press Start is flashing>
: Press UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, B.
: If you did this code right, you'll hear a ring sound, and the Level Select menu appears!

[There's a catch to this code: The code works only for a single stage; you are sent back to the Title screen when you clear a stage.  However, you cannot die in this mode--except if you fall into oblivion!]
1=Past
2=Present
3=Good Future
4=Bad Future

: <title while Press Start is flashing>
: Press DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, then A.
: When you hear the ring, you're in the Sound Test Menu!

FM=sound effects
PCM=digital sound samples and Past zone music
DA=digital audio from CD, as well as the rest of the music.

Go to Sound Test (code 5-2), then set all of the menu choices at 07 and then press Start.

Go to Sound Test (code 5-2), then set the menu choices as follows:
FM 46, PCM 12, DA 45. Press START!

Go to Sound Test (code 5-2), then set the menu choices as follows:
FM 42, PCM 04, DA 21. Press START!

Back to top

: <title screen with "Press Start" flashing>
: Press C (hold), then press START.
: Press START again at the next screen on the silver bar with "Start" on it.
: When the game begins, press START to pause and to get the area map.
: At the map screen, do any of these commands:
  To jump to next level: Press button B.
  To jump to last boss (the boss in Panic Puppet Zone): Press button C.
  To see the ending: At the last boss stage, pause the game, then press button A.
