 But what is it for? [[Luigi Link]] explains:
-:As you may know, the developers at [[Sonic Team]] had no [[SonED]] to edit their levels with, and if they did, it was much more primitive than ours. Knowing this, they programmed a [[debug mode]] in the Sonic games to get the information they needed to know from the game.

-:The "night mode" itself is actually pretty useful. It takes advantage of the VDP's shadowing and highlighting ability. For all tiles on the Plane A High and Plane B High graphic layers, the VDP highlights those tiles. For all tiles on the Plane A Low and Plane B Low graphic layers, the VDP shadows these tiles. Sonic Team could then see if they got the highs and lows in their proper spot.
-:A lot of you know this already, a lot may not. So this is here for the general informing of everyone.
