Should you face heavy slowdowns in the game, try to run it using the "machine independant speed" option by following these steps:

1 - Make a windows shortcut to the exe of the game
2 - Go into the link properties and add the /MIS1 command in the destination field after the double quotes

it should look something like this:
"C:\BLAH BLAH BLAH\Sonic3D2d 1.xx.exe" /MIS1

3 - hit OK and start the game through that link.

As of version 1.08 should you discover that the water in game looks like a large dark wall, try to run the game through a shortcut with the command /LIGHTWATER

If you experience slowdowns after the new pause system has been released, try running the game through a shortcut using the command /OLDPAUSE this will re-enable Fusion's un-pause system. You will gain some FPS, but you'll be forced to UNPAUSE the game by pressing ENTER.

If you want to use the classic Mega Drive/Genesis pause with no options, just use the /QUICKPAUSE command within a shortcut.

If you feel like you want to forcefully trigger a patched bug discovered by the Speedrunners of the Sonic 3D in 2D tournament, you can do so by enabling this command.
