Sonic Spinball (Sega)

What is Sonic Spinball?

What is Sonic Spinball? Sonic Spinball is an arcade pinball game introduced by Sega in 1993 with an exciting setting. It has the ever-speedy hedgehog Sonic in the player-controlled pinball position, cruising across deceptively difficult pinball tables. This unusual game brings together classic pinball elements and side-scrolling adventure touch to give players a new way to experience Sonic's usual platforming antics. Your mission is to assist Sonic in destroying Dr. Robotnik's Veg-O-Fortress and saving Planet Mobius from his dastardly schemes.

How to Play

Control Sonic in Sonic Spinball with the two flippers on your controller. Try to get Sonic launched across the pinball tables while collecting those elusive Chaos Emeralds and keeping away from hazards. Sonic freely roams the tables whenever he is not in curl-ball form: jump, land, and Super Spin Dash. Collecting all the Chaos Emeralds for a level allows you to confront the boss and move to the next stage.

Tricks and Tips

• Master the Flippers: Timing is all that counts when flippering up Sonic; he'll be your only path to navigating the tables.
• Spin Dash: Use Spin Dash to speed up movement of Sonic through tight spaces or launch Sonic to the Emeralds when Sonic is in his ball form.
• Collect Rings: Collecting rings awards points, but they are also a shield from hazards, so try collecting as many as possible.
• Plan Your Moves: Every single level offers a different layout and challenges; take some time to strategize your path so that you can collect all Emeralds efficiently.
• Watch for Badniks: When you kill Badniks, you're rewarded with points, and sometimes extra lives. So keep your eyes open!

History

Sonic Spinball starts in a calm mood on Planet Mobius. From this calm, one gets robbed by Dr. Robotnik, who captures Animals native to Mobius and converts them into Badniks. Badniks are essentially machines with animal attributes. With his Veg-O-Fortress set up on Mount Mobius, Dr. Robotnik reigns supreme as he channels volcanic energy and the mystic power of the Chaos Emeralds. Blocking entry to the Emeralds is a massive pinball contraption filled with traps and challenges. Sonic's job is to go through this setup and rescue the Emeralds.
