Level select: Note: This code has sensitive timing. Tails will blink
his eyes once, then two more times in quick succession. Hold Down/Left
+ 1 + 2 at the title screen and wait until Tail
blinks for the third time. Press Start at exactly that
moment, while Tails' eyes are closed. A sound will confirm correct
code entry. Use Up or Down to select a level and
press 2 to begin game play.
Alternately, hold Down/Left + 1 + 2 during
the introduction sequence and keep them held as the title screen
is displayed. Release the buttons after the sound of the bells
are heard. Press Start to enter the level selection screen.

Hint: More than nine lives: Despite what the instruction manual states, you can
exceed the maximum number of nine lives. As you start to build
up lives, if the total is over nine, every time you lose an extra
life, the screen will still remain at "9". However,
as you start to lose lives, the countdown returns to normal.

Hint: Hidden area: In Act 2 of Under Ground Zone, there is a secret area.
Its where you start, but further up is a ledge. In order to get
in you must go to the bottom of the ledge. Go even further, turn
around, and run at full speed. Then, press Down and you
will start to roll. If done correctly you will break through
and get in. Inside there 24 rings plus a ring box which for a
total of 34 rings. There is a mine car that will lead you out.
Note: There are many hidden areas in the game. They are often
found in locations where there are perfectly square bricks. Just
run at full speed and roll; or if there is a spring available,
use that and roll.
