Overview and Gameplay
Sonic is forced into Dr. Robotnik’s industrial fortress, transformed into a living pinball bouncing through mechanical stages built like giant interactive tables. The goal is to navigate multi-layered pinball environments, collect Chaos Emeralds, and dismantle Robotnik’s defenses from within.
Progression is built around moving upward through interconnected zones, activating switches, clearing obstacles, and reaching boss encounters at the top of each stage. Each area blends physics-driven pinball movement with limited on-foot control sections for precision navigation.
