#REDIRECT [[Sonic the Hedgehog 3/Hidden content]]
These are cheat codes which can be accessed by inputting button sequences or by various other methods.
 
=== Cheat Codes, Sonic 3 Alone ===
 
*'''[[Level Select|Zone Select]]''': Right after the Sega logo disappears and the title screen begins, quickly press Up, Up, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up, Up. This code is notoriously hard to do due to timing, but if performed correctly, a chime will play. Press Down twice to see a "Sound Test" on the menu screen. Selecting this will allow you to listen to music and select a level to start with. A [[Game Genie]] code for accessing the level select is also available (see below).
 
*'''All Chaos Emeralds''': At the sound test screen, play songs 02, 04, 05, 06.
 
*'''[[Debug mode|Debug Mode]]''': After activiating level select, hold A+Start when selecting a level to start [[object]] debug mode. This mode's controls are the same as in ''[[Sonic 1]]'' and ''[[Sonic 2]]''.
 
 
 
'''In-level Functions, all versions:'''
 
 
 
''Debug''
 
 
 
Press B to toggle normal and debug mode.<br>
 
Press A to advance forward through the debug object list.<br>
 
Press A+C to advance backwards through the debug object list.<br>
 
Press C to reverse gravity in normal mode, in debug it places the selected object at the current coordinates.<br>
 
Current coordinates are designated by the top line of hex digits in the HUD.<br>
 
Viewport coordinates are designated by the bottom line of hex digits in the HUD.
 
 
 
''Slow-motion/Restart''
 
 
 
During pause press A to fade to black and restart from the "SONIC TEAM PRESENTS" screen.<br>
 
During pause press and hold B to enable slow-motion (this proceeds at half-speed, or 15fps, for as long as you hold the B button).<br>
 
During pause press C to advance one frame.
 
 
 
''Night Mode''
 
<br>To play in [[Night Mode|night mode]], hold C+Start. Finally, to play animations, hold B+C+Start.
