Sonic Origins Plus cheat codes: find Hidden Palace Zone and get Super Sonic (2024)

Debug mode allows you to turn Sonic into an item such as a Chaos Emerald, a Super Sonic power-up, and Ring boxes. You can also add things like springs to the level, which will give you easy access to some areas. It should be noted that these items need to be placed on the ground. Another benefit of debug mode is that it will let you move through the game obstacles and go straight to the end.

If you want more coins, debug mode is the easiest way to do this, as you can place down numerous ring boxes, and collect a code for every 10 boxes you break. This will allow you to collect items in the museum, and gain more retries for the games special stages.

Here are the controls when using debug mode:

• Right on face buttons – switch between item and Sonic
• Down on face buttons – change item
• Up on face buttons – place item

There are three cheat codes that work in Sonic the Hedgehog, but once activated, they allow you to access a number of other cheats via debug mode. Note that if you need to play a song twice in the sound test, you don’t need to wait for the song to end, you can just press the song twice. You will know that you have entered a cheat code correctly because the ring sound will play. If you don’t hear this sound, then start entering the cheat code again from the beginning.

Here is the list of cheat codes that work in Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic Origins Plus.

• Level select and sound test – on the title screen when you first see Sonic press up, down, left, right, and start the game.
• Debug mode – on the sound test (bottom right), play sounds 01, 09, 09, 01, 00, 06, 02, 03.
• Start with Super Sonic – on the sound test (bottom right), play sounds 04, 01, 02, 06.

The same cheats are available in Sonic 2, though the codes are slightly different. Again if you have inputted the code correctly, you will hear the ring sound.

Here is the list of cheat codes that work in Sonic 2 in Sonic Origins Plus.

• Level select and sound test – on the title screen, when you first see Sonic, press up x3, down x3, left, right, left, right, and start the game.

We have the same cheats again, but the way to get into the main menu is slightly different. The ring sound is also played here.

Here is the list of cheat codes that work in Sonic & Knuckles in Sonic Origins Plus.

• Level select and sound test – on the title screen, when you first see Sonic, press up x2, down x2, up x4, and go to the next menu. Then scroll down past "one and two players" to the sound test. If you see the save select screen, you have gone too far.
• Debug mode – on the sound test (bottom right), play sounds 01, 09, 09, 04, 01, 00, 01, 08.

• Start with Hyper Sonic – on the sound test (bottom right) play sounds 04, 01, 02, 06, 04, 01, 02, 06.

Hyper Sonic is required in order to get Sonic & Knuckles' true ending and access Doomsday Zone.

Super Sonic is available in Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, and Sonic & Knuckles. He is invincible and also runs faster and jumps further than regular Sonic. There are also Super versions of the other characters, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy.

In order to play as Super Sonic, you need to collect all the Chaos Emeralds in a game, and then have at least 50 rings on you. If you then jump and press up on the face buttons, you will transform into Super Sonic. When in Super Sonic mode your rings will tick down once per second. Once you reach zero you will transform back to regular Sonic.

In Sonic & Knuckles, there is also Hyper Sonic, which requires you to collect all the Chaos Emeralds before Mushroom Hill Zone, and then collect them again after this. You can trigger Hyper Sonic in the same way.

You can collect Chaos Emeralds via the Special Stages in each level, or by using the cheat codes above. You can either choose to start with Super Sonic, or use debug mode, to add Chaos Emerald item boxes, or Super Sonic item boxes. Note that if you use cheat codes you can only use Sonic and not the other characters.

Hidden Palace Zone is a single Act Zone that was originally cut from Sonic 2.

You can find it in Mystic Cave Zone Act 2. You can reach this naturally or from the level select. Once in Mystic Cave Zone you need to follow the bottom path and you will come across hanging switches which will allow you close bridges in order for you to cross them. The third switch you find on the bottom path has an open bridge on the opposite side of the pit. Don’t pull the switch and instead jump into the pit to find Hidden Palace Zone.
