Remember when Sonic just ran really fast? Well, someone at Sega thought, "What if he also bounced around a pinball table?" And honestly? It works. Sonic Pinball Party throws the blue blur into three wild tables—one classic Sonic-themed, another with Nights into Dreams vibes, and a third based on Samba de Amigo (yeah, the maraca game).

The physics feel surprisingly solid for a GBA pinball game, and the tables are packed with little details—hit the right ramps and you’ll trigger mini-games or even a full-on boss fight against Eggman. My only gripe? The ball moves fast, so if you blink, you might miss a combo. Still, it’s way more fun than it has any right to be.

If you’ve got a soft spot for pinball or weird Sonic spin-offs, this one’s a solid time-waster.
