Sonic Mania Plus Cheats
To use cheats such as alternate modes, And Knuckles and Debug, you must go into Mania Mode and hover over the ‘No Save’ icon on the right. Next, press Triangle (or Y on Xbox, or X on Switch) to activate these options. Here is how you use each mode:
- And Knuckles will add Knuckles as a second character, even to Knuckles!
- Debug is activated by pressing Triangle (or Y on Xbox, or X on Switch), then the jump buttons to place and rotate through options.
- Mania’s move is a Drop Dash (hold jump in the air), Sonic CDs by holding Up then jump, and Sonic 3 and K Insta-Shield by pressing jump in the air.
Finally, there’s Level Select, which interestingly works in a variety of ways and differs from platform to platform:
Sonic Mania PS4 Level Select: Select the No Save option on the far right of Mania Mode with Debug Mode enabled, and press Options, Triangle and Square.
Sonic Mania Switch Level Select: On the title screen (back out of the main menu to reach it) press the Y + B buttons together.
Sonic Mania Xbox One Level Select: Select the No Save option on the far right of Mania Mode with Debug Mode enabled, and press the Menu button, Y and X together.
Sonic Mania PC Level Select: Select the No Save option on the far right of Mania Mode with Debug Mode enabled, then the Q and A keys together.
