If you’ve scrolled over to the Sonic 3 & Knuckles menu in Sonic Origins, you’ll notice immediately that the Blue Spheres bonus mini-game has been included.
Based on the special stages in the original Sonic 3 & Knuckles game, Blue Spheres is a randomly-generated series of levels that goes on for a very long time. The game is an Easter egg of sorts – it was originally hidden on the Mega Drive cartridge for Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
As you’ve likely already noticed, just like it did on the Sega Mega Drive (or Sega Genesis if you’re that way inclined), the main menu of Blue Spheres gives players the option to input a code to jump straight into the level of their choice.
When you put in a code correctly, you’ll be taken to the relevant level. Your quest in each, of course, will be collect all the blue spheres without bumping into the red ones.
You can press start (or the equivalent button on your controller of choice) to start Blue Spheres with the first level, or you can use the codes below to jump ahead!
List of Blue Spheres codes for Sonic Origins
Note: Because Blue Spheres is randomly generated, there are actually millions of levels. The game basically goes on forever, or at least much longer than the average human lifespan! Even if you somehow did make it to the end, the game would simply send you back to the first level and make you start again.
With that in mind, we won’t try to include a comprehensive list of codes here as it might break our website. Instead, here are the codes for the first 50 levels. These codes should work, in theory, in the ‘original’ version of Blue Spheres:
- Level 1 – 3659 8960 3263
