Even if you used Debug in AIZ1 during the opening, in Sonic 3 Final, didn't knuckles stop you anyway? I don't remember and wanted clarification since I was able to actually bypass this scene. Don't give me that "debug isn't a finding" crap, I just want clarification to my nagging question.

Knuckles stops you no matter what, even if he's not around. After a certain amount of time it's triggered to let your emeralds go, and it will happen wherever you are a that point.

I've just tried holding right the whole time after enabling debug on Angel Island (in Sonic 3 final), and Knuckles didn't stop me...

EDIT: If you don't manage to do it without the game crashing, try moving the debug icon to this height (more or less):

It's been a while, but has anyone mentioned exactly what the graphics for the giant spheres in that specific special stage are yet? I can't remember if it's been mentioned.



Anyway, it's like the big checkerball from S1 when it doesn't have the checker pattern on it (replay the GHZ boss and you'll see what I mean).

EDIT: No, not quite, the highlighting is in a different place.

This took me forever but it's finally (mostly) done.

[Skaarg]

That's looking awesome Saz, didn't see a few of those small things on my plays through.

Amazing job, dude.

The two last maps in the Mushroom Hill section don't load, though.

[muteKi]

Also, don't forget that the Emerald in the final only glows when you have all the super emeralds.

Unless you've tried hacking the RAM to give you all of them (has that been done -- is it even possible?), it's hard to say if that's of any significance.

Really? I never knew that. At any rate, I've tried doing that, and manually getting both sets of emeralds (by getting 6 chaos emeralds, then the super emeralds, then the last chaos emerands) and no change,

Dunno about whether it HAS been done, but I'm pretty damn sure it IS possible. How else does the game keep track of how many emeralds you have as you're playing?

Making patch codes can be fun.

All 7 Chaos Emeralds: FFFFB0:0007
All 7 Super Emeralds: FFFFB1:0007
Always Have 80 Rings: FFFE21:0050

EDIT: Doesn't seem to make the Emerald glow, though. However, I can attest to it only glowing when you have all Super Emeralds. Here's a savestate containing various states of the Data Select: http://download.yous...7A8F2EC1DC9B6F8

And some more interesting codes. Try these when you're in a Super/Hyper form:

FFFF09:0000 - Current Character is Sonic + Tails
FFFF09:0001 - Current Character is Sonic Alone
FFFF09:0002 - Current Character is Tails Alone
FFFF09:0003 - Current Character is Knuckles
FFFF09:0004 - Current Character is SonKnuck (Blue Knuckles)

EDIT 2: These are for S3K final, not 0408

I looked through the topic and didn't see this mentioned, after beating any of the Mecha Sonic bosses in Sky Sanctuary Super Sonic reverts to normal and can't transform again unless you enter a bonus stage.

Also, I was fighting the Lava Reef boss as Super Sonic and he somehow hit me, just like Knuckles can. I haven't been able to get it to happen since though, it was when he first came out of the lava, I was standing on the spot he comes up from.

[muteKi]

Maybe you fell off the level and then reverted back with debug?

[SegaLoco]

No, that's not it, I've had this happen too, he reverts back as soon as you deal the last blow, like with a normal boss. Even if you get or already have 50 rings, you cannot become super sonic again.

Ah, nice work. I see the emerald and ring codes are the same as S3/S3K, while the character codes are slightly different. Blah, I'll have to rehack the debug mode code soon. =P I'll see if I can also get some invincibility/cannot be hurt codes going as well.

EDIT: Some goodness...

FFB02B:0003 Invincibility
FFFE12:0063 Infinite Lives
FFFE24:0000 Infinite Time

EDIT2: Created a debug mode code...

FFFFFA:0001 Enable Debug Mode
