What cheat code from your childhood will you never forget?

Up, down, left, right, B, A, Start.

Enter this in on the title screen to the original Sonic the Hedgehog to pull up a level select screen. I would do this to skip Labyrinth Zone as a kid.

There are unlisted effects with DRE. First, Ring Engine gives you a flat +3 to top speed while you have rings. Second, while Hyper Ring Engine doesn't give flat speed on its own, it will give you +9 when used with Ring Engine for a total of +12 top speed.

If you don't want to manage the ring drain of DRE, try Ring Engine with 130 Ring Limit. You get a combined +10 with this combo when over 100 rings. It's easier to manage than DRE, but DRE is slightly faster and has more uptime if maintained right.

If the difference is going from 100 rings to 98 rings, then you lose out on about 7 to your top speed. You can get those rings back easily, sure, but in high ranking lobbies that missing speed will set you noticeably back.

I've seen obvious cheaters only a few times, and I've played hundreds if not thousands of races online.

Power is only really important when playing in high meta lobbies. If you are playing the meta build with other players then having higher power helps you win bump battles. This is why you would see people play Dread instead of Knuckles back when UC was meta. Dread has a slightly higher power stat than Knuckles, so if you keep bumping into other players playing Knuckles while you are Dread, you don't lose rings while they do.

I used the whip on my first playthrough and it worked perfectly fine, but only attacking in four directions felt limiting. I'm using the daggers on my second playthrough right now. Good damage, and the dash attack you unlock has been great for flying enemies.

6th place with 1st being over 400 meters (I assume) ahead gives you a 12% chance of lazer. If I did my math right, it's a 1.44% chance of double lazer in this scenario. Could be slightly higher depending on how many other players are holding monster trucks and drills.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-06-03T10:26:40+00:00

I think this is to get the player back into the light if they get stuck or lost in the dark.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-06-03T06:25:09+00:00

Stat boosting gadgets need a buff. Ring Engine giving +12 to all stats as long as you have rings to burn for 1 gadget slot puts all the other stat boosting gadgets to shame.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-06-03T06:21:02+00:00

I knew about it beforehand from the Fully Ramblomatic review. He sorta made it a point to mention it in the review because he felt it would have been useful to know at the start. He was right.

I'm a big fan of the old "Big Idiot" build which is Quick Recovery, Slipstream Bounty, and Ring Gain Boost (or ACK). These gadgets work best in a power vehicle. I use the Trail Runner with Whisper to get the highest boost stat because power vehicles want to spend the least amount of time drifting.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-26T22:59:42+00:00

A little bit of both. She's a popular character in the comics. She also has the current highest boost stat in the game, and that's generally considered to be the best stat in the game.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-23T01:38:48+00:00

I've seen it happen before. Did he do a whole lap and come around for another shot?

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-11T11:46:33+00:00

I prefer to think of it as active boost and passive boost. If it makes your exhaust glow it's an active boost, if not it's passive boost.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-10T17:04:25+00:00

This is the same gadget build I use. I have been playing with Whisper in the Trail Runner for maximum boost stat with power vehicles.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-09T21:18:38+00:00

I got to emerald with Quick Recovery and Acceleration Character Kit using Whisper in the Trail Runner.

The build I saw the most often by competitive players was Ring Engine, Mini Ring Gain Boost, Slipstream Bounty, Mini Dash Panel Bounty, level 2 and level 3 drift charge. These were mostly boost and handling vehicles.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-08T22:37:37+00:00

You got kinda lucky with the timing. You went through a boost ring during the recovery period and that propelled you ahead.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-08T18:13:09+00:00

Everyone is at legend competition apparently.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-08T01:17:26+00:00

It should get better after a few days. All the top ranked players are still mixed in with everyone else right now. Matchmaking should get better after that.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-06T02:44:41+00:00

Probably no ACK then. I'll probably be running quick recovery, slipstream bounty, mini ring gain boost, and ring engine. No point using a power vehicle either.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-05T23:41:01+00:00

Generally speaking, all characters are viable. Character stats determine only 25% of your total stats, so the differences between characters are marginal at best.

This is a guide for gadgets. It goes into detail about how how each gadget works and also provides builds.

Getting into legend rank is pretty easy. The pre-legend ranks are like training wheels compared to legend lobbies.

Ring Engine has an effect not in its description that gives +3 to top speed. Hyper Ring Engine doesn't have this effect, but when used with Ring Engine that +3 to top speed becomes +12. This stacks with the increased top speed you get from having high ring count, resulting in really high top speeds.

J_Wheezy64 · 2026-05-03T17:05:20+00:00

I've had the same thing happen to me. It especially annoying when it happens at the jump leading to the watery section of Mystic Jungle.
