Sonic Mania has a lot of references but one of the coolest things about the game that the developers left in there is cheat codes. Those growing up in the 1990s will remember having a blast entering codes to unlock nifty features. With Sonic Mania Plus just released, why not try out some cheat codes? Thanks to the folks over at Sonic Stadium and Reddit @codenamegamma, you can play with Super Sonic’s flight, infinite continues, and more. Let’s get started.

Obviously boot up the game. Enter Mania Mode and go to “No Save.” To enable codes, you’ll need to do the following (based on your console):

• Nintendo Switch: Hold Y, Select No Save
• PlayStation 4: Hold Square, Select No Save
• Xbox One: Hold X, Select No Save

Afterwards you should be able to select a level, then go to sound test and play the following sounds to activate code:

• 3 3 3 1 9 7 9 0 8 1 1 – Changes all animals into Squirrels
• 4 1 2 6 – All Emeralds
• 1 9 9 2 1 1 2 4 – Infinite Continues
• 2 0 1 8 0 6 2 3 – Force Encore Mode
• 1 9 8 9 0 5 0 1 – Unknown
• 2 0 1 7 0 8 1 5 – Super Sonic Flight in normal levels (No need to be in Super form to trigger it)
• 9 0 0 1 – Max Control For Sonic (Dropdash, Super Peel Out, Insta-Shield)
• 0 0 0 0 6 2 1 4 – Disable Super Music

If you want to use these codes in the Encore Mode, you’ll have to activate the “Force Encore Mode” code. This will give you the opportunity to use these interesting effects on other characters such as Knuckles and Tails. To see it in action, Game Xplain has created a video of these cheats, see video below. You can also visit CodenameGamma’s YouTube channel for additional secrets.
