General

Secret Development Menu

In the PC version of the game, if the Settings.ini file is edited with the line 'devMenu=1' within the '[Game]' section, then a dev menu can be accessed by pressing Esc in-game. This menu was used by the dev team to quickly access various sections of the game, and includes:

  • Presentation: Dev logos screen, Title Menu, "Thanks for Playing" screen, Level Select menu, Staff Credits, and Continue screens.
  • Mania Demo: Access to the Green Hill Zone and Studiopolis Zone demos playable at the 25th Sonic Anniversary Event.
  • Mania Mode: A separate level select screen.
  • Special Stage: A selection of all Mania Special Stages
  • Blue Spheres: Access to any Blue Spheres stage, including options for 'Random' and 'Random 2' which chooses a random Bonus Stage from original and Mania mode, respectively.
  • Extras: Allows selection of Puyo Puyo mode and the D.A. Garden.
  • Cutscenes: A list of the cutscenes in the game, which can be jumped to.
  • Videos: The various ending animations.
