A glitch-game made of [[Sonic the Hedgehog 3|Sonic 3]] game patching data can be activated by loading a savestate of [[Sonic 3 & Knuckles]]' title screen onto Sonic & Knuckles. [[Sound test]] must be enabled as 1 player and competition modes result in a black screen. All Sonic & Knuckles zones are playable, Sonic 3 zones result in the same black screen. Using [[Game Secrets:Sonic & Knuckles#Tails|the PAR code to enable Tails]] (or setting the character ID to 02 in the sound test screen) makes the game hang on level title cards. On levels where Tails appears when playing as Sonic (such as the start of Mushroom Hill Zone act 1), his sprites are blank. All demos make the game restart, returning to the normal Sonic & Knuckles title screen.

Lost Sprites

Artwork Name Description
SnKSSJackpot.png
Super Sonic slot machine panel Sprite for Pinball bonus stage. Never used in game.
SnKFball.png
F-ball An unused gumball found in the rolling jump bonus stage. Can be placed with debug mode, though it does nothing.
SnKSball.gif
S-ball A flashing gumball which also does nothing.
SnKplatform.png

SnKHoloscreen.gif
Death Egg Holograph Projector Some machine that displays a holograph of the Death Egg. It can be found by hex editing a savestate of Death Egg, act 2. At address A500 replace 01 with E5 and the most northwestern piece will change to this. Thanks to Gold for finding this.

Tails

Tails in S&K.png

Tails is playable in the game through hacking. Unfortunately, most of his sprites are missing. A savestate (info) (50 kB) of Tails in Sonic & Knuckles is available. If the PAR code FFFF09:02 is used in Sonic & Knuckles, Tails will be usable, but just about every sprite of his, except the transformation sprite, will be missing, basically rendering him invisible (unlike when a savestate is used; a different, glitchy sprite is used in place of Tails's original one). However, his sprites used at the end of Sky Sanctuary Zone to run around the collapsing pillar are actually stored in the Sonic & Knuckles' ROM and therefore are visible. The same sprites are used also in the same context in Lava Reef Zone.

8th Emerald

SnKBonus.png

If Sound Test is enabled, and any of the Special Stage options is selected, Sonic or Knuckles is taken to the 1st Special Stage. The end of it however, spawns a Super Emerald. This is when the special stage is marked as clear, but the normal Chaos Emerald amount doesn't rise. The Super Emerald amount will rise, but it has pretty much no effect due to Super Emeralds being unobtainable. This bug WILL allow for the 8th Emerald to be collected once the other six have, though.
