Okay, so Sonic Pinball Party is basically what happens when you take Sonic’s speed and chaos and cram it into pinball tables. It’s got that classic GBA vibe—bright colors, chunky sprites, and way more energy than a pinball game has any right to have.

You’ve got three main tables: a Sonic-themed one (obviously), a Nights into Dreams table that’s weirdly hypnotic, and this casino-style one that feels like Sega just went wild with power-ups. The physics are a little floaty at first, but once you get used to it, pulling off combos feels stupidly satisfying.

Also, there’s a weirdly deep single-player mode where you unlock mini-games? Like, why is there a pseudo-golf minigame in a pinball title? No clue, but I’m not mad about it. If you’ve got a soft spot for arcadey GBA stuff, this one’s a solid time-waster.
