The New S Factor: Need Some Passwords?
351Note from Roya (February 03 of 2020):
My goodness, roughly 30000 views later, and this is still getting attention; for this to have been the channel's most popular Mini Program up to now is an honest surprise, 20I3 was a turning point for Royameadow: The Channel and I ultimately have this and you folks to thank for it, as literally about a sixth and change of its viewership is from this alone.
With that said, I am quite surprised that people are still having questions about the passwords even to this day, so let me clear the air on this: only Hacking, Cheater, Winning, and SWRDFSH actually work, the Character Unlocks were intended for a later build and it'll be up to Aquaslash and company if the system (as well as the intended Lock~On Technology with Sonic the Hedgehog: Extended Edition) is kept in, we'll see when the time comes and I won't rule out anything unless if we learn otherwise.
Original Description (updated as of February 03 of 2020):
Well, it's only four of possibly nine or more.
Character Unlock Passwords do not work at the moment, but will be most likely modified to work in later revisions.
Passwords presented in this video:
~ Debug Mode: Hacking.
~ Unlock Miles/Tails: Tornado.
~ Unlock Knuckles: Emerald.
~ Unlock Mighty: Chaotix.
Passwords not presented in this video (respective usernames of those that have mentioned them first will be found below):
~ Level Select: Cheater. (Mentioned by Sonic23189.)
Note: At the Title Screen, pressing Directional Pad Up, Down, Left, and Right, in that order, will still unlock the Level Select.
~ Start a New Game with All Emeralds: Winning. (Mentioned by Sonic23189.)
~ 099 Chances: SWRDFSH. (Mentioned by John Ortiz.)
~ Unlock Shadow: Recolor. (Not to be confused with Recolour; mentioned by UberSonicFan3.)
~ Unlock Scourge: Moebius. (Mentioned by Aquaslash, The S Factor's creator and head.)
Note: You may alternatively use a Character Select Savestate with Scourge highlighted to also play as him in the August 08 of 20I3/Sonic Hacking Contest XI build; both he and Blaze are also playable through some Options Menu manipupation, both of which you can master below.

Please note that the presented passwords were found by Roya Rockwood four hours after its August 08 release, and done without disassembly or anything similar; these were guesses, but they are the real deal.
