Get first place in the Radiant Emerald course and Dr. Robotnik becomes playable.

If you play the Radiant Emerald (secret) level as Super Sonic it will play a different
song then the one it normally plays.

To become Super Sonic, simply find all Chaos Emeralds. Here's how to find them: 

  1. Emerald: Island course
  (behind the door which opens with 50 rings) 

  2. Emerald: City course
  (behind a door which opens with 20 rings, bottom of the course after falling down the
hole in the street short after the tunnel) 

  3. Emerald: City course
  (behind the door which opens with 50 rings) 

  4. Emerald: Ruins course
  (behind the door which opens with 50 rings, location left side of the course on some
arcades right after the start) 

  5. Emerald: Ruins course
  (behind the door which opens with 20 rings, location is right in front of you after
racing up the ramp) 

  6. Emerald: Factory course
  (behind the door which opens with 50 rings, location is just after the looping the
emerald will jump out of the machine in front of you) 

  7. Emerald: Factory course
  (behind the door which opens with 50 rings, location short after the looping left of the
ramp where a excelerator is located. The emerald will pop out of the submarine which waits
for you right ahead)

Collect all 5 Sonic Tokens in a race and finish in the top three and you will then face
off against the hidden character for that track.

  Resort Island - Mecha Sonic 
  Radical City - Mecha Tails 
  Regal Ruin - Egg Robo 
  Reactive Factory - Mecha Knuckles

Get 1st place in the first four courses and the Radiant Emerald course will become
playable.

To have a little fun with the title screen, wait a moment, then fiddle with the D-pad. the
"R" will rotate to your will. If you press the B button, the color of the R will change to
a metallic outlook. Pressing the A Button restores the R to its former color. Pressing Y
and X will darken or lighten the R.

An easier way to beat Mecha Sonic after collecting the 5 tokens is to first capture Mecha
Tails who is easier to get than the Sonic and then use Mecha Tails against Mecha Sonic,
cutting across the water to get a lead. Always make sure you run through the ruins or the
open 20 ring door.

To get a head start in a race, hold DOWN and keep pressing B as fast as you can. When the
race starts, let go of the D-pad.

On the main screen, the character screen and most screens, push the L button to zoom in
and the R button to zoom out.

There ia a hidden shortcut on Reactive Factory. To get it, when you get to the gap that is
shortly before the loop, as you spring, hold Right to skip a part of the track.

Player 2 can play as the same character as player 1. The first player picks a character
then the second player high lights the same character. Hold X + Y + Z. This also works for
Super Sonic and all hidden characters.

While playing, pause the game and press X + Y + Z at the same time.

This trick requires that you use Sonic. In Radical City, keep to the main course. Do NOT
go into the pinball area. You will pass a 50 ring door. Run past it. When you get to the
90 degree right turn, turn left. Double jump up onto the platform. Run forward until you
reach the emerald, then turn around and continue the race. Be sure to finish in first!

After the accelerator in Reactive Factory continue to go straight forward. When you come
to split in the road take the left road. If you continue up this road you will end up
passing by a sign on the side of the road that says RING. Stop at that sign, and if you
wait rings will come to you, giving you up to 999 rings.

When selecting a course, press L and R to grow and shrink the level icon.
