Gameplay[]
Gameplay of Sonic Spinball.
The game plays identically to Sonic Spinball for the Sega Mega Drive, taking place in the Toxic Caves pinball level with Sonic serving as ball and the player controlling the Flippers. The player can shake the table to move Sonic a little, but overusing this function will cause a tilt.
At the end of the game, the player could submit their score to the Candystand website. Players with a score in the top 150 in the original contest had a chance to win several prizes.[3]
