What are Sonic Mania cheat codes?

Sonic Mania is designed as a modern tribute to the classic Sega Genesis era, and that tribute extends to its deep library of “old-school” Sonic Mania cheat codes. Rather than modern DLC unlocks, the game utilizes a hidden Level Select menu and a Sound Test console to let players modify gameplay, jump to specific zones, or instantly trigger Super forms. For a full list of active freebies, visit our Codes section on Destructoid. You’ll find a variety of mobile titles and phenomenal goodies to claim.
