=== Excessively Dark Rendering === | |||
When playing the PAL version in 50Hz mode, the game is significantly darker than in 60Hz modes. This occurs on console and is not an issue with Dolphin. To avoid this, use PAL60 mode when playing the PAL version of the game. | |||

Certain music effects, such as muffled and quieter music in underwater sections and muted music while going though pipes with the Drill wisp, are missing under DSP-HLE. The effects don't play in HLE. Boosting music plays properly though. All music effects work properly under DSP-LLE. Refer {{Issue|10069}}. | |||

This patch will unlock the game's frame rate from 30FPS on actual hardware to 60FPS. It can cause some minor physics issues (nevertheless, the game can still easily be completed). Reaching frame rates >30 FPS may require checking '''Store EFB Copies To Texture Only''' and/or increase the '''Emulated CPU Clock'''. | ||

*Aquarium Park, Act 1: The scripted loop at the beginning of the level bugs out, sometimes sending Sonic out of the stage to his death.

Save states can be used even when the patch is enabled/disabled. | *Aquarium Park, Act 1: The scripted loop at the beginning of the level bugs out, sometimes sending Sonic out of the stage to his death. To fix this, simply don't touch the controls at the start of the level. Sonic will get stuck in the loop, but then he'll get unstuck and continue through the loop. You can also disable the 60FPS patch for that particular section. Save states can be used even when the patch is enabled/disabled. | ||
*Every level: Noticeable lines appear under Sonic and stay for the whole game. Disabling anti-aliasing fixes this. | *Every level: Noticeable lines appear under Sonic and stay for the whole game. Disabling anti-aliasing fixes this. | ||

*Tropical Resort, Act 1: If you jump at the right spot, the game will freeze. | |||
*Terminal Velocity, Boss: After executing a chain of attacks on boss, Sonic will not always be able to boost into it for extra damage. Sonic will seldom be able to boost into it and is very inconsistent when it will work. You may disable the 60FPS patch for this particular stage. Boosting for extra damage is not required to beat that boss, but is needed if the player wishes to obtain an S rank. | |||

The game is fully beatable with no discernible issues, though I'd actually recommend playing in native resolution. The bloom is broken above internal resolution with scaled EFB copy on, as is the depth of field, and turning off scaled EFB copy makes the game present at 480p frame anyways.|tester=Luig}} | |||
