| 256 lives for me! |
If Sonic has one life left, rides one of the barrels to the furthest edges of the level, and jumps into the slime right next to the barrel as possible while facing it, he will die twice. Though the game registers a Game Over, it will get confused and think the player has previously earned an extra life, thus will restart the level with a "LAUNCHING EXTRA BALL" message.
After this, the lives counter will display 0 lives, and dying again will underflow the player's lives to 255 which is displayed as random characters on the status bar as it can only represent up to 9 lives. As with a similar case in Sonic the Hedgehog, lives are represented by a signed integer and therefore cannot represent negative numbers for lives, so 1-2 equates to 255.
Not fixed in any version.
