Sonic Spinball | (CIB) (Sega Genesis)

Sonic Spinball takes the fast-paced mascot and drops him into a pinball-inspired adventure on the Sega Genesis. Instead of traditional side-scrolling speed, gameplay revolves around bouncing through large pinball-style stages filled with ramps, bumpers, and hazards. Sonic himself acts as the ball, navigating mechanical environments while avoiding traps and enemies.

Each level is designed with multiple pathways, switches, and boss encounters that require both timing and precision. Players must explore vertical layouts, collect chaos emeralds, and defeat robotic foes while managing momentum. The darker tone and industrial soundtrack give the game a distinct atmosphere compared to other Sonic titles of the era.

By blending platforming elements with pinball mechanics, the game offers a unique twist within the franchise’s lineup. It stands out as an experimental and challenging entry that rewards patience and skillful control.
