The main menu of Blue Sphere will show the current level number along with a 12-digit code (password) that will allow the player to jump back to the current level. It can also be accessed from the File menu's 'Special Stage Mode' selection in Sonic & Knuckles Collection for PC, and its own section in Sonic Origins. In Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Mega Collection Plus, Blue Sphere can be unlocked separately (in the former case by playing Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic 3D Blast 20 times each) and is accessible by itself from the game list. In Sonic Jam, it can be accessed by 'locking-on' Sonic 1 to Sonic & Knuckles. Locking on Sonic & Knuckles to another copy of itself will also load the game normally.īlue Sphere is also available in certain compilation games. Cartridges with large ROM file sizes (those that exceed 2 MB usually Genesis games released after Sonic & Knuckles) will not load Blue Sphere, but will instead boot Sonic & Knuckles as normal.

Most other cartridges will allow the player to access only a single stage of the game, based on the cartridge's ROM header and the stage's code in the full Blue Sphere game. If the cartridge that is locked on to Sonic & Knuckles is the original Sonic 1 (as well as Sonic Classics due to the placement of Sonic 1 being at the 2 MB mark that the lock-on technology reads, and any ROMs that share the same header as Sonic 1, such as early prototypes of Sonic the Hedgehog 2), then the full game of Blue Sphere is accessed with all stages. When any other Sega Mega Drive cartidge is inserted, background characters with a blue tint aren't shown to have animation on the title screen and the code of single Blue Sphere stage is shown.

The scrolling text will be replaced by 'Get Blue Spheres!'. Eggman, and a line of scrolling text that says 'No Way! No Way! No Way! No Way?'
