Sonic Spinball contains two different in-game cheats - a level select and a skip to the credits. It is worth noting that it is possible to break how these are entered: on the Option screen, the Flipper option lets the player change the button assignments for the Left, Right and All flippers; however the way it does this is by remapping the button not just for the flippers, but for ''the entire game''. As such, whatever '''LEFT''' is set to becomes the {{A}} button, whatever '''RIGHT''' is set to becomes {{B}}, and whatever '''ALL''' is set to becomes {{C}}. While this method of remapping the buttons makes no difference in-game, the one thing this does effect is that if the player enters one of the below cheat codes on a joypad after altering the button assignments, the code will not work: if for example the player has set it to A: LEFT, B: ALL, C: RIGHT, every press of {{B}} on the joypad will actually be recognised by the game as pressing {{C}}. This also means, for example, if the code for the level select is entered correctly, then the flipper layout changed so {{B}} is set to control ALL flippers, pressing {{B}}+{{start}} will actually take you to Level 4, and not Level 3.

In-Game cheats

Sonic Spinball contains two different in-game cheats - a level select and a skip to the credits. It is worth noting that it is possible to break how these are entered: on the Option screen, the Flipper option lets the player change the button assignments for the Left, Right and All flippers; however the way it does this is by remapping the button not just for the flippers, but for the entire game. As such, whatever LEFT is set to becomes the A button, whatever RIGHT is set to becomes B, and whatever ALL is set to becomes C. While this method of remapping the buttons makes no difference in-game, the one thing this does effect is that if the player enters one of the below cheat codes on a joypad after altering the button assignments, the code will not work: if for example the player has set it to A: LEFT, B: ALL, C: RIGHT, every press of B on the joypad will actually be recognised by the game as pressing C. This also means, for example, if the code for the level select is entered correctly, then the flipper layout changed so B is set to control ALL flippers, pressing B+Start will actually take you to Level 4, and not Level 3.

Select level

On the Options screen press A Down B Down C Down A B Up A C Up B C Up. A chime will play. Return to the title screen and hold button A+Start for Level 2, B+Start for Level 3, and C+Start to begin on level 4.
