The lesson I learned from this episode was that knuckles breaks everything. And somehow doesn't crash the game whilst doing so.

Another bug: In debug mode, if you get past a Signpost by placing it during the final boss, the game will send you to Egg Reverie and you will fight the true boss with all the chaos emeralds even if you don't have them all. However, even if you win and the credits roll, you'll still get the bad ending and no chaos emeralds will be on your save file

[@Hoppo_]

I dunno if the glitch is new, but I've found out that if you activate super sonic just as you take damage you become blue super sonic as well, however you also loose all the collision and you can't interact with springs, enemies or even rings. The only way to get out of this is to restart the stage or exit as for some reason sonic ignores the ten minute timer as well. It's weird lol. Try it for yourselves.

[@hin5827]

I once did a glitch where I had debug mode on, and when I beat Metallic Madness Act 1 by skipping the boss and activating a non-debug sign post, Act 2 had nothing but collision of the main level, crushers, and Eggman tiles. There weren't even lazers, or even screen locks, a boss, and the capsule! Also, debug wouldn't let me place things. I call it the "Phantom Madness" glitch.

I found this one glitch in Mirage Saloon Act 1 that came up while I was trying to do the softlock glitch. Apparently, if you restart the act during the boss fight, then sometimes, Knuckles' sprite won't appear, and Knuckles won't be on the plane anymore. It still acts as if Knuckles is on the plane. I don't know what causes this glitch, but it's pretty random and pretty cool.

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

despite watching this vid after the game was released i knew about the press garden act 2 boss glitch as ive seen it happen live, had no clue how to do it though

[@ThunderMouse1999]

Another Glitch: Using Debug mode, if you place a goal sign in the final boss area, it brings you to the Egg Reverie Zone/Boss, even if you aren’t playing as Sonic. The fight actually works as normal with the other characters, and when you beat Egg Reverie, it plays the regular cutscene. If you place a goal sign in Egg Reverie and interact with it, you instantly die, likely due to Super form getting deactivated. However, if you use Debug Mode to prevent yourself from dying, after the score is tallied up, it takes you back to the title screen. Another way to get into Egg Reverie Zone (I think it’s Plus only)with other characters is getting there normally, then placing a cycle box (After Ray’s 1-Up) and hitting the box with whichever character you want to have. However, they won’t be able to fly like usual until they are knocked into the air. One final thing is the flying animations. Sonic, Tails, Mighty, and Ray use the moderate running animation,and Knuckles uses his gliding animation, which makes me think that everyone was able to get into Egg Reverie instead of just Sonic.

[@TheZeroNeonix]

If you're in Studiopolis Zone Act 2, after defeating the boss, you can knock the sign post out of bounds. Using the Thunder Shield as Sonic, you can bounce the sign post over the top of the screen, and it will not come back down. Apparently, the sign post considers the top of the screen to be solid ground, and the sign landing on it will end the stage like normal.

[@princeofhalcyon]

2:30 A zoomout for boundary break!

[@springbonnidreamer87]

I’ve actually got a glitch for the final boss. I don’t remember how to pull it off, but basically you need to die (along with Tails) but quickly use debug to come back to life and when the hands grabs Sonic, the game crashes. Again I don’t remember how to pull it off, but basically you need debug mode and Tails in the fight

[@fatyoshi1456]

I found a glitch in flying battery where if you use debug mode to place a bunch of checkpoints and enter blue spheres, returning to the stage will replace the background from inside the battery with the outside background. This still works in sonic mania plus

[@Sacrefiied]

I found a glitch that no one else seems to have done. I don't know which factor caused the glitch, but I was fighting the Red Eye boss with Sonic and Tails, I didn't move sonic, I controlled tails to beat the boss close to the timer hitting zero, the boss didn't blow up when going to phase 2, the sprite remained the same, with two Red Eye bosses on screen. The floating Red Eye also couldn't attack, then when I finished the act, it softlocked.

Hey guys! I found a new glitch in the Egg reverie fight! Yesterday when I was fighting the phantom king. I took damage, hit him and got pushed away at the same moment, but he did not dissapear, and neither did eggman appear so I thought I didn't hit him and continued the fight as nothing had happened. Soon after that I hit eggman, and then suddently he exploded! I hadn't destroyed the phantom king so he appeared, but it seemed like he had more health than normal. Whenever I hit him eggman did not appear. Finally the heavy king exploded but no portal had appeared, so now the game was softlocked. I haven't found any footage of the glitch (so far).

I had a similar glitch with eggman. He was just starting his attack animation and I hit him. He stayed on screen so I hit him twice. It then happened again later in the fight. I ended up killing him in 6 cycles. However, he came back the 7th time I hit phantom king, but he had the defeated sprite. I hit him again and then finished off phantom king and... eggman never reappeared so I had to restart the fight

I've found 2 other glitches. On the Switch version of the game, go into debug mode and go into Studiopilos Act 2, and make your way to the boss. After beating the boss, place bumpers in a way that you cannot escape them. Then after hitting the button to the capsule, go into debug mode and go into the bumpers. The cutscenes of the flying battery will play without your character and the game will soft lock. You will have to quit the game with the home button. There's another glitch in debug mode. If you use the level select and go to Egg Reverie (Final Boss), place down the ring that goes to the Ufo mini game. When it's over, the cutscenes will play again and your time will go crazy. Your rings will also doubled. Not sure if anyone else has found them but here they are. If you've read all the way through this, I'd really appreciate it if you give this comment a like so others can see!
