I dont have a clue how it was done, but I remember way back in the 16 bit era my sister somehow did something that allowed her to be any sprite from the game (Gold rings, Robotnik etc) naturally, she didnt allow me to play it i only got to watch... so all these years later out of no where i remembered and would like to try it out.

You did up, down, left, right at the title screen, getting you into debug mode. I know it did something.

HERE is where I found this information, in case you needed the link.

Debug mode:
Press Up, C, Down, C, Left, C, Right, C, Start, then hold A at the title screen. Continue to hold A until game play begins. Screen coordinates will appear instead of a score and the number of objects displayed will appear instead of the time remaining. Use one of the following controller actions to enable the corresponding debug code. Note: This code may only be enabled on the first version of the game.

Object transformation
Press B during game play to change Sonic into a game object. Press A to change into a new object. Press C to place an object on the screen. Press B again to revert back to Sonic. Note: The type of object that may be selectable will vary from level to level.
Invincibility
Sonic is, by default, invincible in debug mode. Note: Sonic can still drown, be crushed, fall and die, etc. He is only invincible to enemy attacks.

Slow motion
Pause game play and hold B.
Restart
Pause game play and press A.
Frame advance
Pause game play and press C.
