Hmmm...
To do:
Everything that isn't here

Introduction

An early look at Sonic & Knuckles; While the basic layout is more or less finished, there is still a lot to be implemented.

General Differences

Tails and Knuckles have incomplete super forms, since the art has yet to be made.

Cheat Codes

Level select is enabled by default, so you can just go down to 'Sound Test' at the main menu.

In the sound test, you can press the following combinations:
01, 03, 05, 07 - Enables debug mode
02, 04, 06, 08 - Get all the chaos emeralds

You can also use the following patch codes:

FFFFE2:0001 - Enable debug mode

Levels

Bonus Stages

At this point in development, they are very unfinished.

The orbs bonus stage has no collision, partially complete graphics, and a preliminary animating background. As a result, you can only really die here.

Angel Island Zone

Knuckles can go to Sonic's path. However, the boss always spawns at Knuckles' path, causing him to get stuck

Sky Sanctuary Zone

The air ducts are not active while Knuckles is going to enable the bridge.

Hidden Palace Zone

This is quite unfinished. In the hidden area, there's a Super Sonic monitor.

Doomsday Zone

It's really incomplete, only having the boss graphic and a background. As a result, the only thing you can do is fall to your death over and over again. You can use debug mode and fly over to a section with glitchy collision.
