Level select, also known as "Zone Select" for Sonic games since the levels aren't called levels, but Zones, is a menu from which you are able to access any level in the game, as well as:
- Special stages
- Bonus stage (in Sonic 3/Sonic & Knuckles only)
- 2-player levels (in Sonic 3 only)
- Sound test
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2
- Sonic the Hedgehog CD
- Sonic the Hedgehog 3
- Sonic & Knuckles
- Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit)
- Sonic Chaos
- Sonic Triple Trouble
- Sonic Blast
- Tails' Skypatrol
- Chaotix (accessible through modifying colour bars in the 'colour test' screen)
- Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure
- Sonic Mania
This option allows you to search through (usually) a menu with a listing of different levels in a game then lets you choose whichever level you wish to play. Another very useful feature for debugging/development.
In Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, enabling the level select cheat will also enable the reset/slow-motion/frame advance cheat. It will not, however, enable object placement or (in Sonic & Knuckles' case) gravity reversal, which require debug mode to be activated.
