Removed Sonic 3 Cheats Now Work! - Sonic Origins - Complete Guide

[@GamerBlake90]

Okay, so I made a couple of oopsies here: 1. The Egg Reverie code that enables the super flight does in fact work with Tails and Knuckles. I was under the impression it didn’t because when I first tested it with Tails, he just did his typical helicopter flight. I suppose I forgot to input the proper codes when testing, so my bad. As such, disregard the text box seen at 3:18. 2. You may have noticed from the sound test codes that many of them are Easter Eggs, like birthdays or release dates. For the banana code, I assumed it fell under the latter category, but it turns out it’s actually a birthdate, although it *is* true that SEGA owns Super Monkey Ball so at least I got that part right. Sorry for any confusion. I assure you that it isn’t intentional.

[@sonicfan6977]

Hi know me from your discord server

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

Here's one that is most _definitely_ an Easter egg, and probably explains why they grabbed *Christian* Whitehead for this: The code for "all emeralds" (04, 01, 02, 06) vs. Genesis 41:26 in the Bible: "The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream."

[@GamerBlake90]

@@TomTheyy I tested it with Tails and didn't get the Super Sonic flight, he just flies the way he normally does. I figured since both Tails and Knuckles have double jump abilities already (flying and gliding), neither of them would have the Egg Reverie ability. Are you *sure* it works with Knuckles?

That's cool. I have a feeling they were supposed to be in the game all along and not "disabled", but Sega messed something up again when they packaged Headcannon's game into their compilation, so they were disabled.

[@pookiewood]

I've never really cared for the Sonic 3 invincibility theme song. I thought they should have used the same one from Sonic 2 so being able to disable it is good to know!

[@DesireeRodriguezGuitarra]

The Sonic 2 Super Sonic music is a lot better than Sonic 3’s.

[@BBWahoo]

Wtf, I haven't seen your videos in years. It just hit me I was watching a codename gamma video! Sugoi!!!

[@thomasverslycken2563]

The disable super theme code doesn't work properly (or atleast not yet), at first it does what it's supposed to but when you get to something that changes the music & then changes it back to normal (exept for after the lastboss fight of the actbecause you revert to base form anyway) so something like the The first 2 mecha sonic MK.2 fights in sky sanctuary or in most places where knuckles shows up, if that moment happened as super or hyper sonic the music won't be back to the stage music, instead it plays the super music despite it being disabled, so this can happen in angel island act 1 (if you start with all emeralds), hydrocity act 2 (either as when tails is involved or if you start with all emeralds), marble garden act 2 (twice), carnaval night act 2 (twice), launch base act 1 & 2, mushroom hill act 1 & 2 (both if using debug mode) flying battery act 2, lava reef act 2, & sky sanctuary (twice), that is 14× this can happen while having 22 normal acts & without counting when you start the game with all emeralds or debug mode it's still 11× out of 22 acts so even without counting the start with all emeralds requirement or debug mode it essentially still happens for exactly half of the game

[@thomasverslycken2563]

1 trick i have to keep the turn off super music code in mind is that it's litherally just the code to just get the chaos emeralds right away, but backwards

[@glitchedblood]

thanks stealth! Now I can turn off that godawful sonic 4 super theme!

[@Dat_man]

That was SEGA that patch the game.

[@JulioRedCosplay]

I played through the whole game with that code on Thankfully you can input the code in Sound Test, press Start to return to the title screen, load your save file and it'll still work (most of the other codes don't work when you load a save)

[@InitialAA]

5:11 should've been turned on in vanilla origins s3k by default, considering the locked camera is the way it was in the original sonic games on the megadrive, and it would fix much of the jank and issues people had with the camera.

[@clonefighter1996]

Uhhh... I'm pretty sure the original games on the Mega Drive also had limited camera movement speed. (Due to hardware limitations, the screen can only scroll at a maximum speed of 16 pixels per frame. That's why the camera "slows down" when Sonic is moving faster than that limit.)

[@Leathal]

Yep it definitely happened in at least Sonic 2 and 3&K on Genesis model 2 hw back in the day. Chemical Plant and Hydrocity/Marble Garden would always lose camera tracking at points

[@aidanpalmer4720]

Now if only there was a code to add back the original versions of the carnival night zone, ice cap zone, and launch base zone themes (from the prototype, I know the Michael Jackson versions won't come back)

3:22 i thi k i've seen someone use that with tails before so that MIGHT be wrong, but it might also not be because it was... it was a lot but not just a new feature lot, but more of a "use unused feature" type of mod (& knuckles mode is still unused)

[@GunnarJenkins]

I'm trying out cheat codes in my Nintendo switch

[@DE23]

The code for the bananas is actually a date right in-between the US and EU release dates of Super Monkey Ball

[@clonefighter1996]

List of code meanings: 19790811: Stealth's birthdate (August 11th, 1979). For those unfamiliar, "Stealth" refers to the leader of Headcannon(?), and also the person behind the remasters' engine (yes, he worked alongside Taxman/CW.) 4126: Genesis 41:26 - "The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream." 19921124: The original release date of MD/GEN _Sonic 2_ (November 24th, 1992) 20170815: The original release date of _Sonic Mania_ on consoles (August 15th, 2017). Makes sense, considering what the code gives you. 6214: the All Emeralds code (which is 4126, to remind you), in reverse. 32160: A starting countdown ("3, 2, 1, GO!") 19940202: The original release date of NA _Sonic 3_ (February 2nd, 1994) 19941018: The original release date of _Sonic & Knuckles_ (October 18th, 1994) 226372: Not sure... 19990306: Could be a birthdate... (March 6th, 1999) 47981: Not sure... 19910623: The original release date of MD/GEN _Sonic 1,_ and thus Sonic's "birthdate" (June 23rd, 1991) 19930923: The original release date of _Sonic CD_ (September 23rd, 1993). Again, makes sense considering the code. 20011013: Pointed out in the pinned comment, it's a birthdate. Still dunno whose... (October 13th, 2001) 00000000: literally just zeroes why are you wondering about this

[@infernoclp]

32160 is the equivalent of 3, 2, 1, GO (60)

[@belmontzar]

Kinda wish more of these sorts of code were in Sonic 1 and 2. Like just imagine max control sonic in sonic 1

[@thepaperunicorn09]

Les go , sonic 3 is gonna be more fun then ever

[@GamerBlake90]

These codes make it even better. Are you daring enough to try the 0x8 code?

[@AonelEchi]

Here are a few problems that can happen with these codes: (1. Super Peelout. If you Super Peelout as Super/Hyper Sonic, he becomes a ball or it gets disabled.) (2. No Super Music. This only happens in Angel Island, Hydrocity, Marble Garden (maybe not), Carnival Night, Flying Battery, Hidden Palace, and Sky Sanctuary. Super music will come back though if you’re in one of the levels.) (3. Flying Super Form. You’re wrong about it not working for Tails or Knuckles. It actually does.) (4. Infinite Continues. I’ve never tried this and put this for no reason but you can still lose continues, and reach 0.)

[@Aran_MD]

Is the banana code the release date for Super Monkey Ball? Many of these look like dates, same as the debug mode.

[@GamerBlake90]

Yes! A good number of these codes is inspired by the release dates of various games. An example is the Blue Shield code, which uses Sonic 1’s release date. I contemplated addressing that in this video, but decided to keep the focus on what people are here for: how to use these codes and what they do.

[@Fellaz-cd8ch]

glad Stealth was able to make a patch update

[@experimenttheprototype-zx2uu]

Fun fact: the disabled super sonic theme code is basically the backwards version of the obtainable chaos/super emeralds code.

[@blackopskoopa6404]

beating sonic 3 and knuckles without all of literally the core stuff in a mainline sonic game would probably be the equivalent to the infamous mario maniac challenge (which if you haven't heard you have to beat super mario the lost levels without using a warp pipe and then beat world 9)

Okay, this I did not know, my bad. I felt it was a safe assumption given that a good deal of these codes are based off release dates and SEGA *does* own the Super Monkey Ball franchise.

[@Fireballwashere]

Fun Fact: The code to remove the Super theme, 06, 02, 01, 04 is actually the Chaos Emeralds code in backwards order. 04, 01, 02, 06. See?

Well... the collection STILL have issues, No. 1... you can crash the collection in Sonic 1 if you use Sonic + Tails mode in stage select (00 character option) while having the 7th emerald activated and getting the OG last one (the 6th)... even the PC version isn't safe of that (and to be honest I may got very lucky with my Sonic 1 Mirror Mode playthrough as I literally did it on Sonic + Tails mode and even on it's initial 1.0 release had that issue) and No. 2... use the Sonic 3 branding cheat code and enter either during RNG gameplay or in the stage select screen the slot machine bonus stage, by doing just that you crash the collection (again... on ALL platforms).

[@EerierFish17]
