Gather ‘round, kids, gather ‘round… let me tell you of the days of Cheat Codes and Game Genies and Nintendo Power… wait, what’s that? You don’t need the old stories? You already know about the codes?!
Well, then.
I guess nostalgia really is everything these days, because Sonic Mania has gone ahead and allowed us to relive even another part of our childhoods in the form of cheat codes from the good folks at PushSquare. To access these codes in-game, players need to enter Mania Mode, enable Debug Mode (from Options), hold Y while selecting “No Save,” and then head to Sound Test to input these specific codes:
- 3 3 3 1 9 7 9 0 8 1 1 – All animals become 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 (Super not required for trigger)
- 9 0 0 1 – Max Control for Sonic (Drop Dash, Super Peel Out, Insta-Shield)
- 0 0 0 0 6 2 1 4 – Disable Super Music
If you enter it correctly, a chime will sound. Make sure you have “No Save” enabled though, or it won’t work.
Yes, we see that tear of memory in your eye. It’s okay. We’re right there with you, friend.
