First things first, this will work on ANY VERSION of Sonic 3 ( or Sonic the Hedgehog 3, what ever you you wish to call it).
Even "Sonic Mega Collection Plus" , "Ultimate Genesis Collection", computer emulation, plus many more... will work!!!
I have recently heard of some problems with this hack on virtual console. I have no way to test this so if a few viewers out there would like to test this and leave a video response, that would be great. Good Luck!
Anyway...
This is hard to explain. At the beginning of the game, after the sega logo, but before SONIC shows up, you have to press

UP UP DOWN DOWN UP UP UP UP

Sounds easy, well its not, its REALLY REAlLY REALLY hard and fast! The best way to do this is to first...

STEP 1: Listen for what sounds like drum beats. You hear them right after the SEGA logo.
STEP 2: Press the first 4 buttons in the sequence (UP UP DOWN DOWN) BETWEEN the FIRST drum beat and the THIRD drum beat. Now you know what I mean by really fast.
STEP 3: Press the UP button really fast over and over again (a.k.a., The last four "UP"s).

If you do this correctly, you will hear a "CHIME".

ATTENTION...
Due to the speed at which this is done it will be unlikely that you will get it the first time. JUST KEEP TRYING.
I recommend that you try and time how long it takes before the first drum beat starts so you can start pressing buttons exactly when the first beat happens.

Watch the video for more details.
Good Luck to you all.

Do you plan on getting Sonic Genrations?

[HonzTV]

@SuperSonicNick Considering it

[catbuffalo]

I tried this a hundred times maybe i should try it on sonic 3 and knuckles.

[HonzTV]

@catbuffalo This cheat won't work on sonic 3 and knuckles, There is a different cheat, and it is a lot easier. I have another video on the matter,

Had to use frame advance to get this too hard real time.

[tistifli]

does this work for sonic classic collection

[SilverPwns]

I've only been able to do this twice in my whole life. The only way for me to do any kind of level select on Sonic 3 is a) hook Sonic 3 with Sonic & Knuckles and cheat on a vine or b) complete the game.

I did it on the PC on the second try! O.O

[zerocool1ist]

i am so sick oh hearing SEGA!!!! I had the mega collection on ps2 and all games debugged but i sold it for the ps3 ultimate version BIG mistake ultimate version does not have sonic and knuckles 3 the combined version mega did S3AK unlocks after so much game play then you do the debug and ur good to go ultimate only has 3 the vanilla version no way to combine them so the title code is my only hope but i give up 6hours later lol.

To get out of special stage 1 just walk into a red sphere and you'll go back to angel island zone.
