SONIC AND THE BLACK KNIGHT SHADOW BOSS FIGHT COUNTER CODE
Though you can enter the debug menu code in-game, you cannot use any object placement functions as controls are limited to four directions and a single key for jumping. In Sonic & Knuckles, this method must be done on the pulley lifts in Mushroom Hill Zone. The method of unlocking the level select in Sonic 3 & Knuckles apparently works in Sonic 3 alone (a good thing, too, considering it's a lot easier to unlock this way) though debug mode won't be unlocked along with it and you can select any Sonic 3 zone as usual (but not Flying Battery, Mushroom Valley, Sandopolis, or Bonus). Press Alt + R to reset the game and from the title screen press Up to reveal "SOUND TEST" and press Enter. A ring sound will play if you did it right. Go to Angel Island 1, grab onto a swinging vine, and press Left, Left, Left, Right, Right, Right, Up, Up, Up.
