Sonic Spinball

'This page should probably be split in Sonic Spinball (16-bit) and Sonic Spinball (8-bit)''. Feel free to leave your thoughts on the talk page.'''

Sonic Spinball is a 1993 platforming video game with pinball elements, released for the Master System, Game Gear, and Mega Drive. It combined pinball elements with traditional Sonic action elements and was set in the Sonic cartoon universe, unlike most other titles of the time.

Unlike most other games at the time, which used Assembly, Sonic Spinball was written in C, due to time constraints. While this choice of language made the game less optimized, it rapidly accelerated development time, leading to a finished game after four months.
