I was unaware of the continue screen until I made the code since I never really do much with the Chao. Here's where I've read that information: http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Continue

I don't use VBA for debugging, I use NO$GBA Debugger. It lacks a trace logging feature so you will have to manually trace the code yourself. Basically, I set a breakpoint read on 0x03005050. This address determines whether or not the in-game button combination has been activated. After that, I let the game run and studied the code I've posted in my first post.

Does anyone know how to properly enable the continue screen after a game over? I've read something about it being Chao related, but I am unsure. I ask because I've stumbled upon this code:

It works for normal deaths and when the timer reaches 9:59:99. Here's a video: https://www.youtube....h?v=VTqEG8hvuTE

I ended up creating this code as well:

Timer Doesn't Kill You [Note]

Note: Your player doesn't die when the timer reaches 9:59:99.

I've actually seen that video. There appears to be great documentation on the available sounds in the game in the Wiki. I noticed that the used and unused tracks on that page and video were read by modifying the RAM location 0x0300271C. What about tracks 75 (0x4A), 109 (0x6C), 115 (0x72), 121 (0x78) or 127 (0x7E)? Are these used or unused? Perhaps we should look into getting a real sound modifier that works everywhere in the game. We should also look into setting up a Wiki page dedicated to notable RAM and ROM locations in these Sonic games. It would certainly be a convenience for those who need to reference them.

I made this code last week that allows the player to bypass the Special Stage limit. Maybe this code will inspire me to get better at the Special Stages since I was never really good at them.

Here's a video: https://www.youtube....h?v=PLk3nmFXluA

The Assembly:
080932F8 4C23	ldr r4,=0x03005A20	;@r4 = 0x03005A20
080932FA 1C20	mov r0,r4		;@r0 = r4
080932FC 306E	add r0,#0x6E		;@r0 += 0x6E (0x03005A8E)
080932FE 7800	ldrb r0,[r0]		;@Read the byte at 0x03005A8E
08093300 0600	lsl r0,r0,#0x18		;@r0 << 0x18
08093302 1600	asr r0,r0,#0x18		;@r0 >> 0x18 (cancels the lsl)
08093304 2800	cmp r0,#0x0		;@If you've challenged the Special Stage
08093306 D15B	bne #0x080933C0	        ;@Goto 0x080933C0 (change to nop)

Edit: I updated the link to the video. The original one had very poor quality.

I wonder why I haven't stumbled across this video. Anyway, congrats! I created this code because of my statement in the first post. I also didn't think it has been done.
