Sonic Spinball is a pinball game in which the player controls Sonic the Hedgehog, who acts as the pinball. The majority of the game takes place within the "Pinball Defence System", which resembles a series of large pinball machines. The game is split up into four levels each containing numerous sets of flippers that can be used to aim Sonic's trajectory and launch him upward through the level. Sonic can be maneuvered while airborne with input from the directional pad, which can be used for better positioning following an impact with a bumper or target or when Sonic is descending toward the drain, bumpers or flippers.
