Sonic Spinball received mixed reviews, with critics praising the novelty and graphics but criticizing the controls. After a hasty two-month development, Sonic Spinball was released for the Sega Genesis in November 1993 and for the Game Gear and Master System in 1994. When Sega management realized that Sonic 3 would not be completed in time for the 1993 holiday shopping season, they commissioned another Sonic game. Sonic Spinball was developed by the American staff of Sega Technical Institute, as the Japanese staff was occupied with developing Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles.

The game is set in a series of pinball machine-like environments with Sonic acting as the pinball. Players control Sonic the Hedgehog, who must stop Doctor Robotnik from enslaving the population in a giant pinball-like mechanism. It is a spinoff of the Sonic the Hedgehog series set in the continuity of the Sonic the Hedgehog animated series. Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball is a 1993 pinball video game developed by Sega Technical Institute and published by Sega.
