How to Get Debug Mode & Level Select in Sonic Mania Plusĭebug mode in Sonic Mania Plus is a little different.
This brings you to level select, go ahead and pick a level and bam you’ve entered the Debug version of the zone. Go ahead and do that while keeping the buttons pressed (you’ll need to press A, X or plus, it’s not technically any button).
Eventually, you’ll get a message that says press any button to continue. In Sonic Mania, you can enter debug mode by backing out to the title screen from the main menu (by pressing whatever back out button is) and then press and hold: square & X (PS4), X & A (Xbox One), or Y & B (Switch) as the screen loads back to the main menu. Usually it’s something that developers use to help them skip around their own game, and sometimes they leave it in for players to discover.
If you’re not familiar, Debug Modes usually let you do things like select your level, cheat, gain some light developer power, and other features that wouldn’t normally be possible if you didn’t know it existed. Sonic Mania, in old-school Genesis fashion, features a secret Debug Mode and Level Select that players can enter into whenever they want from the title screen.
