Sonic Origins is here! And if you were a fan of these games back in the Sega Mega Drive\/Genesis days, you might be wondering if it is still possible to cheat in them.<\/p>\n
Way back when, it was possible to press a certain combination of buttons \u2013 in Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles \u2013 to bring up a cheat menu on each of those games. With that menu, you could skip ahead to whichever level you fancied.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re pleased to report that, yes, cheats still exist in Sonic Origins and they work in pretty much the same way. If you know the combination, you can bring up the level select menu and pick where you want to jump in.<\/p>\n
There are a couple of exceptions to be aware of. For one thing, it doesn\u2019t look like the Sonic Origins version of Sonic CD has its own cheat menu. Plus, in Sonic 2, you need to find the Hidden Palace Zone the normal way first, before you can use the cheat menu to get there.<\/p>\n
With that bit of housekeeping out of the way, keep on reading and we\u2019ll tell you how to cheat your way to good times in Sonic Origins!<\/p>\n
