Level select
Use the sound test selection on the options menu. Choose sounds 19, 65, 9, and 17 (in that order) and press [C] after each selection. A chime will confirm correct code entry. Press [Start]. Hold [A] and press [Start] when Sonic and Tails appear at the title screen.
Level skip
This trick requires the "Level select" and "Debug mode" codes. Go to any stage and change into an object. Press [A] until you get to the object before the single ring. It is a strange looking object with a little Robotnik head (a machine where all the creatures appear from if you defeated a Boss). Place about ten in a row. Step on the first one until you see the score counting as if you completed the level. When you see that, step on the other buttons. You will go to the level after the level you were supposed to go to. For example: if you were in the Emerald Hill Act 1 you will now be in Chemical Plant Act 1. You can do this trick in any stage, but not in Dead Zone.
Enable the "Debug mode" code and choose any level except the Death Egg. Press [C] to cycle through the sprites until you see a glitched-looking prison egg. Return to Sonic again and get him to step on it. The "Sonic got through Act 1/2" message should appear. This will take you to the next level, and even works on Bosses.
Toggle Tails or Miles
Press [Up]x3, [Down]x3, [Up] at the title screen. A sound will confirm correct code entry. Alternately, press [Up]x2, [Down]x2, [Up]x4.
Super Sonic and Tails
Enable the "Level select" code. Use the sound test selection on the options screen. Choose sounds 4, 1, 2 and 6 (in that order) and press [C] after each selection. Music will confirm correct code entry. Select any starting level and collect 50 rings. Sonic or Tails will turn yellow and can run at super speed, jump twice as far, and become invincible to enemies and spikes. The total number of rings will decrease during super mode. Your character will revert to normal when the ring total reaches zero. Note: Super Sonic or Tails can still drown, be crushed, and fall into bottomless pits.
Alternatively, enable the "Level select" code. Then, press [Start] and hold [A]. Press [Start] when the title screen appears. Then, play songs 1, 9, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4 to activate debug mode. Then play 3, 4, 1, 2, 6. Create 50 rings in debug mode. Jump, make a item box as Super Sonic, and jump on it. Get hit and change back into Super Sonic.
Enable the "Debug mode" code. Create and position a "Transfer Box" monitor. Hit it while as Super Sonic. You lose all your powers but stay yellow. Tails looks the same but has invincibility, with little stars flashing around him. To regain Super Sonic, allow yourself to get hit, then press [B] to turn into a ring and place at least 50 rings on Tails. Press [B] to exit debug mode and jump to become Super Sonic with Super Tails as a follower.

Go to any level, and any Act (except the single Act levels -- Death Egg, Sky Chase). Complete the Act with more than 50 rings. As the score begins to add up, press [B], turn into an item, then press [B] again. Sonic will do the animation for turning Super Sonic and then return to normal. Press [B] followed by [B] again and he will do the same thing. You can continue to do this as long as the score continues to add up.
White Sonic
Enable the "Super Sonic animation: trick" and pause when Sonic starts to do the animation. If done correctly, he should be white, If not, hold [B] to enter slow motion until he turns white.
Hyper Sonic
Run forward in Oil Ocean, Act 2 until reaching the green jet springs. Jump on the very last spring and hold [Right]. Sonic will hit a group of spikes before becoming stuck in the side of the wall. Jump out to transform into Hyper Sonic. In this mode, Sonic can run faster and jump farther than Super Sonic, but is not invincible.
Mega Sonic
Collect fifty rings and jump after becoming Hyper Sonic for even more speed and higher jumps.
Debug mode
Enable the "Level select" code. Use the sound test selection on the options screen. Choose sounds 1, 9, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4 (in that order) and press [C] after each selection.

On the start screen, press [Down]x2 to "Options", and select it. Then press [Right]x2, re-selecting the same character, and press [A]. Gain 50 rings and go to the same checkpoint. You will be on the next Chaos Emerald stage. Continue to do this until you have all the Chaos Emeralds. If you fail on one, just follow the same procedure to redo that stage.
Unlimited speed shoes
Begin game play in two player vs. mode and hit as many item boxes as possible until you get the speed shoes. Then, intentionally lose your life while you have them (getting squashed is the easiest way). You will return to the start of the level or the last Star Post that you hit, but you will now have the speed shoes in effect for the rest of the stage.

Hints
Super Sonic sign
Get all of the Chaos Emeralds and transform into Super Sonic. Try to have at least fifty rings when you finish the level. After completing the level, run off screen and wait until the end-of-level sign shows Sonic. When it does, transform into Super Sonic. The sign will show Super Sonic for one second, then show blue Sonic again.
Starry Super Sonic
Get all the Chaos Emeralds and collect fifty rings, but do not transform into Super Sonic yet. Find an invincibility monitor and spin (do not jump) into it. Then, transform into Super Sonic. If done correctly, the stars will surround Super Sonic until he runs out of rings and transforms back into blue Sonic. Note: This does not improve Super Sonic's performance
Bonus Stage (Gum Ball machine)
Enable the "Level Select/Sound Test" codes. If you try to select the "Bonus" option in that screen, you will find that it will not work.

Note: After several tries on the bonus stage, the title may glitch and display "DOILUS STAGE" instead of "BONUS STAGE". If you quit after this happens, the sound test menu may go off the screen, and any options that were previously at the bottom of the screen will be at the top, and look out of place.
Death Egg
While in the Death Egg, defeat the big robot, and enable the "Super Sonic", "Debug" and "Level select" codes. Start running out of the Death Egg. While running out, turn into an object, then back to Sonic. Go back to the robot room, and another robot will be there. The explosions that follow you out will follow you while you fight the robot. You can go back a few times using this technique.
Mental Sonic
Enable the "Debug Mode" code. Press [B] + [C] during game play. Sonic will go mental, and dash about on the spot, turn upside down, and do other stunts. This can also be done with Tails.
Bonus points
For extra points, pass any zone in a certain amount of time. For the best bonus, enter the "Debug mode" code. The clock will stop and you will always score a 50,000 bonus.
Oil Ocean music
The following trick allows the Oil Ocean music to be heard during the entire game. Go to sound test selection in the options menu and listen to songs 1, 9, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4 in that order.
