Sonic Spinball (alt) Game

Okay, so Sonic Spinball is basically Sonic meets pinball—but way weirder than it sounds. Instead of running through loops, you're bouncing around these massive pinball tables inside Dr. Robotnik's factory. The physics are janky (it's the Genesis, after all), but once you get the hang of it, launching Sonic up ramps and smashing into badniks is oddly satisfying.
First time I played, I kept overshooting the flippers and falling into bottomless pits. Took me a while to realize you can actually steer Sonic mid-air, which helps when you're ricocheting off bumpers like a blue hedgehog-shaped bullet. The music’s got that classic Sega vibe too—all industrial clangs and synth beats that somehow fit a pinball game.
It’s not the most polished Sonic spin-off, but there’s something weirdly addictive about it. Just don’t expect it to play like a normal pinball game—or a normal Sonic game, for that matter.
