Play Sonic Spinball MS Online

Introduction: "Sonic Spinball MS" is a fan made ROM hack of the official Sega Master System game "Sonic the Hedgehog". It is not a port of the Sega Genesis pinball platformer, but a complete graphical and musical overhaul of the original 8 bit Sonic 1. The hack replaces all level tiles, enemy sprites, and music to recreate the aesthetic of the Genesis "Sonic Spinball" game, including its toxic industrial zones and robotic enemies, while using the SMS game's engine and level layouts.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The gameplay is identical to the original Master System Sonic 1. You control Sonic with his standard jump and spin attack. The physics are the 8 bit engine's interpretation, which feels stiffer and less momentum based than the 16 bit titles. There is no pinball gameplay; it is a standard side scrolling platformer. Sonic has no new abilities like the Insta Shield or Drop Dash. The core mechanics involve navigating the familiar Green Hill, Bridge, and Jungle Zone layouts, now visually transformed into Spinball themed stages.

Key Features:

• Complete Visual Overhaul, with all graphics and color palettes replaced to match the darker, mechanical look of Sonic Spinball.
• Custom Music and Sound Effects, featuring 8 bit chiptune arrangements of tracks from the Genesis Spinball soundtrack.
• Faithful Level Layouts, as the hack modifies only the presentation, not the stage design or enemy placement of the base SMS game.

This hack is a notable reskin that offers a distinct visual and audio experience while preserving the original game's structure and challenge.
