Sonic Mania Plus - Switch
Cheat Mode
To use cheats such as alternate modes, And Knuckles and Debug, you must go into Mania Mode and hover over the 'No Save' icon on the right. Next, press Triangle (or Y on Xbox, or X on Switch) to activate these options. Here is how you use each mode.
And Knuckles will add Knuckles as a second character, even to Knuckles!
Debug is activated by pressing Triangle (or Y on Xbox, or X on Switch), then the jump buttons to place and rotate through options.
Mania's move is a Drop Dash (hold jump in the air), Sonic CD's by holding Up then jump, and Sonic 3 and K Insta-Shield by pressing jump in the air.
Finally, there's Level Select, which interestingly works in a variety of ways and differs from platform-to-platform.
