• Level Select is enabled and no cheat is necessary. Pressing + on the title screen will show it. Debug mode is enabled by holding and selecting a level.
• Knuckles acts erratically in the demos.
• Sonic 2 cheat codes are still implemented and can be accessed through the Sound Test and playing certain music tracks in a row.
• All the rings are lost after entering a special stage. In the final version they remain after exiting the special stage.
• Due to the change in how his Super form is activated, there is no Super bug after the endpost.
• In Casino Night Zone Act 1 the game crashes every time the first flipper is used to go to the top left of the map where the hidden rings/ bumpers etc are. It only seems to freeze after the farthest-right bumper from the top is hit. If holding all the time while rising, Knuckles will fly over that bumper and it won't freeze. It also freezes when getting near it while walking on the right (use Debug Mode to place monitors to walk on). It freezes when Knuckles walks right under it when coming from the left. Flying over it as stated before works.
• When the title screen appears after exiting the Special Stage using +, the top portion of the logo, including Knuckles, will not bounce down to the bottom of the screen like the rest of the logo.
