One of Sonic The Hedgehog's earlier spin-off titles, Sonic Spinball is an okay game. In this game, Sonic must infiltrate Robotnik's Veg-O Fortress, where he has kidnapped various animals to turn into Badniks. As he built the fortress on an active volcano, he has used the Chaos Emeralds to keep it from erupting, with a pinball defense system to keep them there.
So, in this game, Sonic has to go through four areas to stop the doctor's latest scheme. As the name implies, this is a pinball game, as Sonic is put through the defense system, which resembles a pinball machine. The aim is to collect the various Chaos Emeralds in each board, as only by collecting every one in a level allow you to access the boss. However, they won't be easy, as you need to do certain stuff like have Sonic flip certain switches or something else to get them, and sadly, the game's controls hinder that, as Sonic will be bouncing uncontrollably. And while there are parts where Sonic can do some running, the physics are bad, as if he lands in a half-pipe-like platform, he will take a while to stop. However, the levels have variety, and the bonus games are fun (with two even featuring Sally Acorn, Bunnie Rabbot, and Rotor Walrus from SatAM as cameos).
