Play Sonic Spinball (Beta) Online
Bounce through pinball tables as Sonic, ricochet off bumpers, collect Chaos Emeralds, and navigate Robotnik's fortress in this wild spin on the classic platformer.
Sonic Spinball was a Sega Genesis release from 1993, developed by Sega Technical Institute. It arrived during a period when Sonic's popularity was high, and developers were experimenting with spin-off titles that placed the character in different genres. This particular game took the familiar speed of Sonic and dropped it into the unpredictable world of pinball.
You control Sonic as he bounces through multi-level pinball tables, ricocheting off bumpers and flippers to damage enemies and progress. The main objective is to navigate through Robotnik's fortress by collecting Chaos Emeralds, which are earned by completing specific objectives on each table. Key mechanics include using flippers to aim Sonic precisely, activating switches to open new paths, and managing momentum to avoid hazards like spikes and enemy attacks. The pacing is frantic, and the physics can feel unforgiving, demanding quick reflexes and patience. It feels like a constant struggle against both the level design and the game's own unpredictable nature.
