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}}.

=== Anti-aliasing Lines ===
Noticeable lines appear under Sonic and stay for the whole game. Disabling anti-aliasing fixes this.

=== Linear 16:9 support ===
This code straightens the 16:9 view to be expanded for monitor display, although widescreen is natively supported.

=== Open Matte mode ===
Only when 4:3 is set in the Wii Options, this code makes the view appear open matte. For a better result, enable the straight 16:9 code above.

Enter this as an AR code in the game's configuration settings. 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'''.

==== Known problems ====
*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.

*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.
