Much like Sonic Heroes, non-native internal resolutions or anti-aliasing will cause white stripes to appear on the top left of the screen.

=== Infinite Rings AR Codes Causes Loop ===
The Action Replay code for Infinite Rings for Player 1 prevent completing the "Circus Park" "Hero Mission", which requires the player to collect 400 rings to complete. With the Infinite Rings code enabled, one begins the level with 999 Rings, causing the level to automatically complete and loop. To solve the problem, simply disable the code. For the NA version of the game, you can instead use the below alternate code that sets a minimum number of 20 for the Rings, rather than forcing the number to 999:
<pre>$Always at Least 20 Rings P1
2C57670C 00000014
0457670C 00000014
</pre>


This can be worked around by disabling Scaled EFB Copy and setting the internal resolution to 2.5x, 3x, 5x, or 7x. But there is limited benefit to using this; unlike Sonic Heroes the game uses a screenspace blur effect for depth of field, so, without scaled EFB Copies the higher resolution is not as clear as with scaled EFB Copies. You can also clear the white lines temporarily by changing the internal resolution, but they will return upon any effect using EFB Copies.

=== Remove White Stripes ===
==== JP ====
Using high internal resolutions causes white stripes that can be removed with a Gecko Code. The following Gecko Code will remove the stripes in all versions of the game. (This removes a lighting layer from the game entirely. All models that use this lighting are STILL visible, because they have a 3D model to back it up. No worries there.).
<pre>$16:9 Widescreen
 
F6000001 80008180
Assumed reason for glitch: There is a layer set in Shadow the Hedgehog that uses this lighting. The lighting is used for many things to make them appear more powerful, such as some bullets and Shadow the Hedgehog in his 'Chaos Blast' or 'Chaos Control' form. This lighting also is completely outside the viewing range if you're using the original internal resolution. However, if you do decide to boost the internal resolution to any extent, this puts this lighting layer onscreen and... definitely visible. Once again, this code will eradicate this lighting effect.

=== <s>White Stripes</s> ===
Much like [[Sonic Heroes]], non-native internal resolutions or anti-aliasing will cause white stripes to appear on the top left of the screen.  This can be avoided by enabling the Vertex Rounding Hack in {{revision|5.0-3251}} or newer, applied by default in {{Revision|5.0-7714}}.
