Sonic the Hedgehog
Developer: Sonic Team, Christian Whitehead Publisher: Sega Platforms: iOS, Android Released internationally: May 16, 2013 This game has unused graphics. This game has debugging material. This game has a hidden sound test. This game has a hidden level select.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: Get graphic rips of the Zone 7 icon, prohibitory sign and the unused monitors, describe the options in the level select.

Finally, for once, a version of Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis) that isn't a straight-up emulation, Sonic Jam and the GBA version aside. Powered by the fan-made Retro Engine, this version features smoother animation, achievement/leaderboard support, and the ability to choose between 3 playable characters.

Level Select

To access the level select, start a “No Save” game and choose a character. On the SEGA logo screen, tap the letters S-E-G-A in that order. If done correctly, you will hear the ring sound effect. Then hold two fingers on the bottom of the screen. When the title screen appears, slide both fingers to the top of the screen to enter the level select.

Debug Mode

In the sound test, to access the debug mode, enter the following numbers in order, 01, 09, 09, 01, 00, 06, 02, 03 (the US/Europe release date of the original game). Then in-game, tap the upper-left corner of the screen to access the debug mode. To change the item you are placing, press on the + or - on the top of the screen.

Unused Sprites

Special Stage

All of these can be seen with the debug mode.

Artwork	Name	Description
	"Zone" Icons	Present in the original game, these icons would have indicated which Special Stage you were in. Interestingly, a Zone 7 icon was added to this port.
	1-up Icon	Extra life icon for the Special Stages, listed in the original game's instruction manual but never actually appears in any of them. It is still, fully functional, and can be placed in any Special Stage. The icon disappears like a ring when touched.
	"W" Icon	A solid block, its use is unknown and it has no function when placed in-game.
	Prohibitory Sign	A prohibitory sign can be found within the debug mode but can't be placed.
