The level select screen from the Simon Wai prototype of Sonic 2.
Level select, also known as "Zone Select" for Sonic games since the levels aren't called levels, but Zones, is a menu from which you are able to access any level in the game, as well as:
- Special stages
- Bonus stage (in Sonic 3/Sonic & Knuckles only)
- 2-player levels (in Sonic 3 only)
- Sound test
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2
- Sonic the Hedgehog CD
- Sonic the Hedgehog 3
- Sonic & Knuckles
- Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit)
- Sonic Chaos
- Sonic Triple Trouble
- Knuckles' Chaotix (accessible through modifying colour bars in the 'colour test' screen)
- Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure
This option allows you to search through (usually) a menu with a listing of different levels in a game then lets you choose whichever level you wish to play. Another very useful feature for debugging/development.
In Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, enabling the level select cheat will also enable the reset/slow-motion/frame advance cheat. It will not, however, enable object placement or (in Sonic & Knuckles' case) gravity reversal, which require debug mode to be activated.
