Emerald Powers break boss music
If an Emerald Power (including Super forms) is active when approaching a boss, the power will be cancelled, however the boss music will be prevented from playing and the regular level music will continue to play. In this state, should the boss be defeated while an Emerald Power is not active will result in the level music being played simultaneously over itself, and the clear jingle will not play after interacting with the Goal Plate or Capsule.
Not fixed in any version.
Skip the Emerald Power tutorial
In the Special Stage, once the reticle appears over the Chaos Emerald start grabbing the Emerald, then quickly pause the game and select "Restart". This wlil exit the Special Stage and restart the current Act from the beginning, however the Chaos Emerald will still count as collected, skipping the Emerald Power tutorial.

Die during cutscenes when fighting the Black Dragon
Various factors remain active whenever cutscenes occur during the battle against the Black Dragon, the most common which is that the player's Rings are still deducted, while a less common situation is being sucked into a black hole when transitioning to the second phase[1]. Such cases can get the player killed during the cutscene, causing the fight to restart from the beginning.
Not fixed in any version.
Boss skips
Some of the bosses can be skipped using certain characters and Emerald Powers to go out of bounds.
Sky Temple Zone
As any character, start the boss fight as normal, then when the platforms appear climb to the top and then have either Tails fly into the top-right corner of the screen as high as he can, or have any other character use Bullet to climb as high as possible. With enough height, the character can leave the boundary on the right and fall safely down onto the Capsule. The boss will still be active during the post-results cutscene and will cause the camera to move about, but the Act will still end regardless.

Sand Sanctuary Zone
As Trip, have Super ready just before approaching the boss, then Spin Dash to the left and immediately Double Jump into the wall near the top of the screen to cling to it. Transform into Super Trip, then fly to the top-right as far as possible, flying over the boss entirely.

Press Factory Zone Act 2
As any character, activate Bullet just before approaching the boss and climb the wall all the way to the top, then when on top of the wall, get enough speed and jump off the right as far as possible. With enough distance, the boss can be skipped.

Golden Capital Zone Act 1
As any character, activate Ivy before dropping down the shaft that leads to the mini-boss, then backtrack to the bottom of the ramp to the left of the Star Post. Wait until about one third of Ivy's timer is left, then grow a vine into the corner of the wall and drop down past the mini-boss. While most characters can use their abilities to move to the right and reach the Goal Plate, Sonic will need to use Bullet to get out of the wall.

Frozen Base Zone Act 1
As Trip, have Super ready and stand in front of the yeti that is holding up the ceiling, then Double Jump into the corner of the ceiling to go inside it. Transform into Super Trip, then fly to the top-right as far as possible, flying over the mini-boss entirely.

Egg Fortress Zone Act 2
As Knuckles or Trip, have Bullet ready and reach the final spinning shaft section, then cling to the wall just below the door after starting the spinning platform and let Knuckles scroll off-screen. When the platform reaches the bottom, activate Bullet and dash upwards and to the left as far as possible until Knuckles/Trip reaches the left boundary of the level, then carefully drop down to land on an off-screen Capsule that normally cannot be accessed during regular gameplay.
Continuing to the ending after performing this skip will crash the game, however pressing "Play Again" on the results tally and exiting the stage will still count it as cleared and unlock Trip's Story.
