I could never do this code on my genesis, so I would just do the sonic 2 trick. You would put the level select code into sonic 2, pull the cart out slowly, then slam the sonic 3 cart in and restart and Sonic 3 would have the code on. =P

Most likely that happens because the Genesis stupidly forgets to erase a few bytes of memory if the A button is pressed. Weird thing. :lol:

Hi all the S2B Community:

The code can work in Sonic 3 & Knuckles?

That's it and thanks...

No. It's not the same title screen, and by that no code can be entered.

Yeah, thank god they changed the way the code is entered for S3K. When I used to play the game on my Genesis, I had this realy weired controler that was sort of analog and I could never do it becuase it was roundish and allowed you to quickly change direction. It was great for Mortal Kombat games but was horrible for entering cheats. Now on the computer, I'm just entering the cheat too damn fast for it to work. :P

I once managed the cheat by pure fluke on my gamecube version (on 50hz because the music is slower :D),
yet when I was a kid and was borrowing it from a friend, I almost always got that cheat to work @_@ .. how on earth did I do it !?!?

Wierd... the music in Sonic 3 shouldn't be slower in 50 Hz mode.

PAL MegaDrives run at 50Hz.

yah, sonic games in 50hz run slower than 60hz. I've tested it, and I hella prefer the 50hz s1/s2 boss themes.

Not sure if sonic3 was or not.. but seeing as freq has to be set before loading, I'd play s1/s2 then s3 / s3&k, all at 50hz

I tried it maybe 20 times and could only get it to work once.

I always thought that code was a fake, but I guess I was wrong. :blink:

Though it was kind of interesting to see "Mushroom Valley" and "Flying Battery" in a Sonic 3 level select before Sonic and Knuckles came out, not to mention almost the entire S&K soundtrack in Sonic 3's sound test.

I thought half of those were missing? When I tried a couple o months ago, quite a few tracks were missing.

The actual music isn't there, but the name is. Like the music itself was rippedo ut, but left the name in there... and.. meh

I just checked on my Sonic 3 rom and the S&K tracks are indeed present. The only tracks I couldn't find were those specific to the theme of S&K (title music, ending music, invincibility, one-up), and the new version of the Act 1 Boss battle theme.

I'm guessing it's the same situation as in Sonic 2 beta and Sonic Crackers, where they make all the music first and then match the levels to the music or vice versa.

The music in Sonic 2 shouldn't play slower, either...
