One of the most ingenious levels in the 16-bit era of video games comes in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 when everyone’s favorite blue speedster with an attitude enters what’s known as the Casino Night Zone. The level takes advantage of the ball shape that Sonic takes when he’s speeding through levels. If he’s a ball, then why not make him a pinball? And so, Sonic became the centerpiece of an elaborate and widely praised level that’s essentially an oversized and digitized pinball game. It was so beloved, in fact, that a spinoff was developed in the form of Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball, which is available to play right now if you’ve subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
