[[Image:Sonic3LevelSelect.png|noframe|right|180px]]
 
*'''[[Level Select|Zone Select]]''': Right after the Sega logo disappears and the title screen begins, quickly press {{up}} {{up}} {{down}} {{down}} {{up}} {{up}} {{up}} {{up}}. This code is notoriously hard to do due to timing, but if performed correctly, a chime will play. Press {{down}} twice to see a "Sound Test" on the menu screen. Selecting this will allow you to listen to music and select a level to start with. A [[Game Genie]] code for accessing the level select is also available (see below).
 
*'''All Chaos Emeralds''': At the sound test screen, play songs '''02''', '''04''', '''05''', '''06'''.
 
*'''[[Debug mode|Debug Mode]]''': After activating level select, hold {{A}}+ {{start}} when selecting a level to start [[object]] debug mode. While this cheat is automatically activated by the level select code, it can also be manually activated by going to the Sound Test and playing songs '''01''', '''03''', '''05''', '''07'''.
 
 
 
'''In-level Functions, all versions:'''
 
 
 
''Debug''
 
 
 
*Press {{C}}+{{B}} to cycle through all mapping frames of the character when in normal mode.
 
*Press {{B}} to toggle normal and debug mode.
 
**Press {{A}} to advance forward through the debug object list.
 
**Press {{A}}+{{C}} to advance backwards through the debug object list.
 
**Press {{C}} to place the selected object at the current coordinates.
 
 
 
*Current coordinates are designated by the top line of hex digits in the HUD.
 
*Viewport coordinates are designated by the bottom line of hex digits in the HUD.
 
 
 
''Slow-motion/Restart''
 
 
 
*During pause press {{A}} to fade to black and restart from the level select screen.
 
*During pause press and hold {{B}} to enable slow-motion (this proceeds at half-speed for as long as the {{B}} button is held down).
 
*During pause press {{C}} to advance one frame.
 
 
 
''Night Mode''
 
*To play in [[Night Mode|night mode]], hold {{C}}+{{start}}.
