Remember when Sega tried to mix pinball with Sonic? Yeah, Sonic Spinball was that weird, kinda janky experiment where you bounce the blue blur through obstacle-filled tables instead of running. It’s got that classic Genesis vibe—bright colors, loud sound effects, and physics that sometimes feel like the ball has a mind of its own.

First level drops you straight into a mechanical nightmare of bumpers, flippers, and Eggman’s robots trying to knock you off course. Took me a few tries to get the timing right—those spring pads love launching you into hazards when you least expect it. The music’s a banger, though, all industrial clanks and synth beats that fit the grimy factory theme.

Not gonna lie, it’s rough around the edges (good luck with the later stages), but there’s something weirdly satisfying about nailing a perfect combo shot. Just don’t expect it to play like a normal Sonic game.
