- Stick to a wall
Jump to a curved wall (at the side of a loop) and press the D-pad in the direction that you are hitting the wall. Sonic or Blaze will stick to the wall as long as you keep pushed the D-pad.

- Sound test
Successfully complete the game to unlock all sound tracks except for tracks 110 to 127. Successfully complete the Extra Zone to unlock the final set of tracks.

- Play as Blaze
Overcome the first Boss to unlock Blaze.

- Time Attack mode
Successfully complete the game to unlock Time Attack mode. Successfully complete the Extra Zone to unlock four additional Time Attack mode levels (Zone X Act 1 through Act 4).

- Completing Dead Line Special Stage
When there a bunch of spikeballs, instead of trying to get all of the rings, just stay on the path that has the ring with the '5' in it. If you try to get all of the rings, you will get hit.

- Remain in air longer with Blaze
To stay in flight longer while playing as Blaze the cat, instead of keep pusheding R, rapidly tap R. This should increase your time of flight in the air by a lot.

- Extra Zone
Successfully complete Sonic's and Blaze's story line with all seven Chaos Emeralds to unlock Extra Zone at the character selection screen, where you play as Super Sonic and Super Blaze.

- Sonic runs backwards
In Dead Line Act 1, run into the first spring, then release the D-pad and Sonic will be running backwards.

- Getting rings in Dead Line Act 2
This stage has the most rings in the game. If you can find the Ring Magnet power-up, you can probably get at least 300 rings.

- Completing Mirage Road Act 2
After the first rail, do not stand on the ring thing. Instead, use the spring next to it and jump on top of two blocks. There will be a Star and a Mystery Box. Also, always try to go up instead of down in this stage.

- Easy lives
Play either Leaf Storm Act 2 or Mirage Road Act 2 repeatedly to get easy lives. You should get about one or two extra lives each time you play.

- Completing the Final Zone, Unknown
When running up the robot's arm you must stop and crouch at the low point between the forearm and the shoulder. This will prevent you from flying off once he waves his arm.


The first two times the final boss rams into the wall, it does not do any damage to you. The third time, you must hit the Boss or the wall will snap in half and you will fall, lose all of your rings, and die.
