| − | ==Level-specific bugs==
| + | The places the player would be able to do this glitch in is with the first purple jelly catchers the player encounters in [[Chemical Plant Zone (Sonic Mania)|Chemical Plant Zone]] Act 2, one of the press wheels above a spring in [[Press Garden Zone]] Act 1, and with the spinning pillars at the start of [[Hydrocity Zone (Sonic Mania)|Hydrocity Zone]] Act 2. In the case of Press Garden Act 1, the player can let Knuckles fall forever due to the Act's vertically looping nature, and watch as the background gets confused. |
| − | ===[[Angel Island Zone (Sonic Mania)|Angel Island Zone]]===
| |
| − | ====Angel Island Zone in Mania Mode====
| |
| − | {{Bug
| |
| − | | image=IMG_20180813 110059.jpg
| |
| − | | desc=Probably the most infamous glitch in the game. If the player turns on [[Debug Mode]] and presses the button (depending on the system) to enter object placement mode at the exact second before the first cutscene in Mania Mode, they are able to use debug during the cutscene. This works on v1.04 and in ''[[Sonic Mania Plus]]''. They must place a Signpost and wait until the score summary finishes (if playing as [[Sonic The Hedgehog|Sonic]], [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], [[Mighty the Armadillo|Mighty]] or [[Ray the Flying Squirrel|Ray]], they must make sure they don't exit out of object placement until the score tally appears; if playing as [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], they must not exit object placement at all). Afterwards, they are taken to the actual [[Angel Island Zone (Sonic Mania)|Angel Island Zone]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | The zone is the same, but the background is missing (instead it's the ocean). Some textures also go missing. The stage will correct itself once you go past the waterfall. The player can use debug mode, but if they go to the bottom of the stage and die, it will result in a Game Over. This is because the game thinks they are in Encore Mode, and Encore Mode uses a different lives system (and the player doesn't have another character). If they go to the area where Mighty and Ray are, the ocean is replaced with a really weird background. If they destroy the capsule without the Plus DLC, Mighty and Ray will become Sonic (their trapped animations are still there, though); if they have the DLC, then everything is normal. They can pick a partner, but they can't control them except when they place a Swap [[monitor]]. Once the player has full control, they should use debug to go the next cutscene. The player must be careful of going down Mighty's pathway though, as for some reason the player can get a Game Over. Once the cutscene plays, the player will go to [[Green Hill Zone (Sonic Mania)|Green Hill Zone]] with the companion they picked. However, if they skip the cutscene, they will go to the Encore version of Green Hill and they can continue to play the Encore levels (note that if they do this, even though the zones will have the Encore palettes, the game will still think they are in Mania Mode, so monitors that are exclusive to Encore Mode are missing unless they place them with debug mode). The game can be beaten with any character and companion with the Mania or Encore Mode palettes.
| + | Because Knuckles ignores walls in this state, players would abuse this glitch by gliding all the way to the end of levels and achieve super fast clear times in Time Attack mode. |
| − | | + | | fixed=v1.03/RC 1.03.0829 |
| − | This glitch was discovered by YouTuber Sonic Mania Architect, who made a video on May 6th, 2018, just a few days after the v1.04 update leak.{{ref|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgiP-CvfCPc}}

| | {{Bug | | {{Bug |
| − | | image=SonicMania Bug AIZRollingSoftlock.png | + | | image= |
| − | | desc=In Encore Mode, the player must select Mighty as their partner at the end of Angel Island Zone. Then, in Mighty's path, the player must execute a Spin Dash, then very quickly execute a [[Hammer Drop]] after breaking the large boulder. If timed correctly, Mighty will be stuck in a perpetual rolling status. As the player cannot move or even pause in this situation, the only way out is to restart the game. | + | | desc=When playing as Sonic, if the player holds {{up}} to pan the camera up and then attempts to transform into [[Super Sonic]], the transformation will not finish properly, causing Sonic to appear as a blue Super Sonic, and will not be invincible. The player can still re-transform into Super Sonic, however. |

| − | | desc=Also in Mighty's path, the player must have both Sonic and Mighty enter the pool of water, switch to the character who entered the pool second, and then wait for both characters to drown. This causes the game to become very confused and pan the camera to above the area where Sonic broke the capsule and essentially softlock the game, requiring the player to restart. | + | | image2=SonicMania_SignpostBug2.png |
| | + | | caption2=The Signpost is completely stuck in the ceiling. |
| | + | | desc=The [[Signpost]] has faulty collision detection - in several Acts that end with ceilings (most notably [[Metallic Madness Zone (Sonic Mania)|Metallic Madness Zone]] Act 1), it is possible to drive it into the ceiling, causing it to vibrate in a glitched manner until it falls out of the ceiling. With persistent effort, it is even possible to drive the sign entirely into the ceiling, causing it to be placed within it. |

| − | | desc=In the initial release of the [[Nintendo Switch]] version, the lower level boundary is not properly set after emerging from underground at the start of Act 2. This results in the bed of spikes to the left appearing to be suspended in the air. | + | | desc=The player character's colours are rendered incorrectly if certain graphical effects, such as a regular [[Shield]], are overlapping their sprite.

An animation existed within the internal sprite sheets, but went unused.{{ref|https://tcrf.net/Sonic_Mania/Unused_Graphics#Chemical_Plant_Zone}} | + | | desc=[[Mighty the Armadillo|Mighty]]'s victory animation is rather bugged in some cases. If he is standing on the [[Capsule]] at the end of some Zones, he may fly off the capsule during his victory animation depending on where he is standing and which direction he is facing. |

| | + | | desc=Glowing palettes are incorrectly applied to Mighty's sprites when he transforms into [[Super Mighty]], causing parts of his arms, ears, chest and muzzle to turn black. When he reverts to normal, Mighty's sprites will remain miscoloured until the current Act is cleared or restarted. |

| − | | desc=When playing in Encore Mode, or as Sonic and Tails together in Mania Mode, if the main character stands before the spring and has the other character break the capsule off-screen at the end of Act 2, the main character will not be able to enter the tube that leads to [[Studiopolis Zone]] as they will be stuck pushing the spring. However, the player can still advance to Studiopolis Zone by pressing {{start}}. | + | | desc=Should the player change Sonic's ability to the [[Super Peel-Out]] in Mania Mode's options, then activate Encore Mode in the level select (02, 00, 01, 08, 00, 06, 02, 03 in the sound test), Sonic will be able to use the Super Peel-Out in Encore Mode, even if he is not being controlled by the player. Should Sonic be replaced with another character via a Player Swap or Random [[monitor]], the character he will be replaced with will gain the ability to perform the Super Peel-Out. They'll keep the ability until the player finishes the Act, restarts or enters a [[Special Stage (Sonic Mania)|Special]] or [[Bonus Stage (Sonic Mania)|Bonus Stage]]. |

| − | ====Eternal combo====
| |
| − | {{Bug
| |
| − | | image=sm-pressgardencombobug.png
| |
| − | | desc=While a character is in the air, hitting enemies increases a hidden counter that decides how many points to award. The first few enemies are worth 100, 200 then 500 points, then the next few are worth 1,000. Eventually, enemies are worth 10,000 points.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The counter resets when a character lands back on the ground. But if enemies are hit with a rolling attack and the player never goes off the ground, the counter never resets - rolling back and forth in areas with regenerating enemies such as the [[Splats]] in [[Press Garden Zone]] Act 1 can let the player max out their lives counter at 99 quickly by collecting vast amounts of 10,000-point awards (an extra life is awarded every 50,000 points).

| − | {{Bug
| |
| − | | image=Notavailable.svg | |
| − | | desc=Using [[Debug mode]] or the [[Game Secrets:Sonic Mania#Secret Development Menu|Dev Menu]], [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] can access [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]'s version of Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1. This leads to at least two glitches:
| |
| − | * The cutscene where [[Heavy Magician]] knocks Knuckles off the [[Tornado]] sees the Heavy knock a 'GOT' off the Tornado instead.
| |
| − | * When Knuckles finishes the cutscene at the end of the Act, he glitches back to where he normally starts Act 2. | |

| − | | desc=If the player positions themself in a specific spot when the signpost falls at the end of [[Oil Ocean Zone (Sonic Mania)|Oil Ocean Zone]] Act 1, they will fall between the oil slide and switch, avoiding the switch altogether. This allows the player to regain control sooner than intended and proceed through Act 2 without being harmed by the smog, so long as they don't pull on a switch, die or enter a Special or Bonus Stage.

| |
| − | | image2=SonicMania Bug OOZEncoreSubDeath2.png
| |
| − | | desc=In Encore Mode, two glitches are known to happen if the player dies from the moving spiked objects above the secret submarine. If the player is standing on the edge of the hatch door and dies there, their death sprite will be stopped by the hatch door and remain on-screen. This essentially softlocks the game as the player cannot do anything else to get out of this, so the only option is to restart the game.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If the player dies while directly above the hatch door, their character will enter the sub during their death animation and survive. From this point on, should the player pause the game, their character will not stop moving, essentially allowing the player to move their character while the game is paused. While in this state, the camera will not follow the player's character, nor will they interact with any objects. Skidding or attempting the Spin Dash will even cause the dustclouds to remain on the screen.

The cutscene after the battle which sees Knuckles use a teleporter to reach [[Metallic Madness Zone (Sonic Mania)|Metallic Madness Zone]] is also skipped.

However in either Encore Mode or with Sonic and Tails in Mania Mode, having the second character break open the Capsule off-screen causes weird things to happen. If the lead character is still small, they will briefly become normal-sized for their victory animation before the correct animations play, and the player will see the background change immediately when the results tally disappears. Afterwards, the player's characters will not be properly centered when they move forward, and possibly have weird palettes when the lightning strikes in the background. The cutscene still plays as normal, otherwise.

- Back to: Sonic Mania.
This page lists various glitches that can be found in Sonic Mania and Sonic Mania Plus.
General bugs
Shifting Spin Dash
If the player walks right up to certain interactable objects, such as Springs, Spikes, unbroken Monitors or breakable walls, readies a Spin Dash and holds 
, their character will slowly shift to the left until they release the Spin Dash. This won't work with every object however, such as the rocks in Green Hill Zone.
Not fixed in any version.
Sideways spring animation error
If the player rolls into a sideways spring and continually holds the control stick or D-pad in the opposite direction they are moving in, their character will briefly enter their pushing animation when they stop moving, appearing to be pushing nothing.
Not fixed in any version.
Gliding through terrain
Should Knuckles interact with certain objects at the top of a wall, he would enter a strange state in which he will no longer collide with the terrain, which effectively allows him to glide through walls. However, he could still stand on objects, but will still maintain his momentum from gliding, and walking off of objects would cause him to walk on air and defy gravity.
The places the player would be able to do this glitch in is with the first purple jelly catchers the player encounters in Chemical Plant Zone Act 2, one of the press wheels above a spring in Press Garden Zone Act 1, and with the spinning pillars at the start of Hydrocity Zone Act 2. In the case of Press Garden Act 1, the player can let Knuckles fall forever due to the Act's vertically looping nature, and watch as the background gets confused.
Because Knuckles ignores walls in this state, players would abuse this glitch by gliding all the way to the end of levels and achieve super fast clear times in Time Attack mode.
Fixed in v1.03/RC 1.03.0829.
Not-so-Super Sonic
When playing as Sonic, if the player holds 
to pan the camera up and then attempts to transform into Super Sonic, the transformation will not finish properly, causing Sonic to appear as a blue Super Sonic, and will not be invincible. The player can still re-transform into Super Sonic, however.
Fixed in v1.03/RC 1.03.0829.
Sign collision detection

| The Signpost is completely stuck in the ceiling.
|
The Signpost has faulty collision detection - in several Acts that end with ceilings (most notably Metallic Madness Zone Act 1), it is possible to drive it into the ceiling, causing it to vibrate in a glitched manner until it falls out of the ceiling. With persistent effort, it is even possible to drive the sign entirely into the ceiling, causing it to be placed within it.
Not fixed in any version.
Pause screen colour bug
The player character's colours are rendered incorrectly if certain graphical effects, such as a regular Shield, are overlapping their sprite. Brighter colours, such as white, are rendered darker.
Fixed in v1.04/Sonic Mania Plus.
Mighty's victory animation
Mighty's victory animation is rather bugged in some cases. If he is standing on the Capsule at the end of some Zones, he may fly off the capsule during his victory animation depending on where he is standing and which direction he is facing.
Not fixed in any version.
Super Mighty palette error

|
| Before Super transformation

| After Super transformation

Glowing palettes are incorrectly applied to Mighty's sprites when he transforms into Super Mighty, causing parts of his arms, ears, chest and muzzle to turn black. When he reverts to normal, Mighty's sprites will remain miscoloured until the current Act is cleared or restarted.
Not fixed in any version.
Super Peel-Out with any character in Encore Mode
Should the player change Sonic's ability to the Super Peel-Out in Mania Mode's options, then activate Encore Mode in the level select (02, 00, 01, 08, 00, 06, 02, 03 in the sound test), Sonic will be able to use the Super Peel-Out in Encore Mode, even if he is not being controlled by the player. Should Sonic be replaced with another character via a Player Swap or Random monitor, the character he will be replaced with will gain the ability to perform the Super Peel-Out. They'll keep the ability until the player finishes the Act, restarts or enters a Special or Bonus Stage.
This bug can also be achieved with the Max Control cheat (09, 00, 00, 01 in the sound test).
Not fixed in any version.
Level-specific bugs
Denuvo DRM
These bugs only apply to the PC version of the game, which used the Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM.
Always online requirement
In the initial release of the PC version, the Denuvo DRM did not allow the game to be played offline.
Fixed in a patch released one day after launch, allowing the game to be played offline after it has been run online at least once.
Time Attack infinite write loop
Denuvo was updated upon the release of Sonic Mania Plus, but an oversight had slipped in due to sloppy implementation. When the Time Attack menu is accessed, a trigger is activated which makes Denuvo start writing to its section. However, the trigger isn't closed properly, causing Denuvo to keep writing to its section and cause massive slowdown until the game is closed.
Fixed in RC 1.06.0503, which completely removes Denuvo from the executable.
Miscellaneous bugs
PS4 leaderboards crash
In the initial release of the PlayStation 4 version, accessing the leaderboards caused the game to crash.
Fixed in v1.03.
Switch HOME and POWER button delay
In the initial release of the Nintendo Switch version, the HOME and POWER buttons were delayed, and accessing the Switch's quick action menu by holding HOME would randomly block access to the Switch’s UI entirely, forcing a hard restart.
Fixed in v1.03.
