Hey all, back with another pinball track!

This one has more of a driving feel, with that GBA chiptune bass special driving it all forward. The square wave in the melody is a little jarring, reminding me of beating the little silver pinball against the bonus bumpers. The dissonance of the chromatic wandering of the melody against the static bass harmony does build into a resolution, featuring that beautiful, crunchy GBA sampled horns. It's a cute little loop that is very "gamey" sounding--like you're just a couple slots away from hitting the jackpot. It definitely fits!

I love all three of the Advances, so it's hardly a light choice for me to make, but if I'm forced to choose, then I'm gonna go with 2 since I feel it's the most well-rounded of the three... for the most part.

How much did you enjoy playing Sonic Pinball Party?

I mean, it wasn't like, the greatest video game I've ever played, if that's what you mean. But as far as video pinball games go, I think it was probably better than most on the Gameboy Advance. Because, like, what's the nearest competition?

You have Pinball of the Dead, also from Sega, and it's pretty good! It's goofy and weird in the ways you want something related to House of the Dead to be. It uses music and sound from the arcade games, and it uses the "video pinball" format well: live zombies wander the boards, there are boss fights with giant creatures that animate and take damage, etc. It's a good time.

Then there's Nintendo's own Mario Pinball Land. And... I really don't like this game. Really, really, really don't like it. Mario is the pinball and you have to shoot him at enemies and stuff. Enemies are too hard to deal with, everything moves a little too quickly, the boards are very simple, and its extremely easy to lose a lot of progress because Mario gets lost between the flippers and falls back to a previous area. It turns in to a game where you're trying to make a single shot, missing, and having to redo a previous board because Mario fell down the pit and you couldn't recover. Maybe the most frustrating pinball game I've ever played.

(The developers, Fuse Games, then went on to do Metroid Prime Pinball on the DS, which in a total 180 is absolutely fantastic.)

I've never been much of a Pokemon Pinball fan so I can't really say much about Ruby and Sapphire Pinball.

There were a few others... Pac-man Pinball, Hardcore Pinball, Pinball Advance, etc. It's very likely I played some them but have no memory of doing so. Likely because they were just thoroughly average.

Sonic Pinball Party is a bit better than that, because most GBA pinball games are like Mario and House of the Dead there where they use pre-rendered CGI instead of sprites. Sonic Pinball Party uses actual pixel art.

It also has a weird story mode! It's extremely basic (and as I recall, impossibly difficult) but it's nice that it's there and makes it more interesting than just a straight video pinball game.

Which, I should point out, it mostly is. Unlike Pinball of the Dead and Mario Pinball, Sonic sticks somewhat strictly to the reals of real, human, actual pinball. Sometimes you get scenes like above, where Eggman is on the board, and he animates when you bop him, but it's definitely nothing on the level of those other games.

It's fine. It's serviceable. It's even enjoyable.

Unfortunately pinball is one of those things I always wanted to be way in to as a kid and could never afford to play very often. Now, as an adult, I find myself wanting to care about pinball still, but never actually playing very much. The most pinball I play is in Pinball Arcade on my phone, where the only table I own is The Addams Family.

It's a good table! I wish I could play it in other places besides my phone! I don't like that Zen Studios bought up the rights to Pinball Arcade's entire library, because Pinball FX has always always had, weird, bad, heavy pinball physics! Even after they supposedly "improved" them!

But at the end of the day I'm not losing sleep over it, either.

I totally forgot Wizeman was in Sonic Pinball Party’s story mode. Welp, I guess this is blog canon now.  Okay so, impromptu headcanon time. As I’ve mentioned prior on blog NiGHTS has a hand in the casino business, maybe one day they happened to be showing off to Reala and Puffy when the mind control thing hits. Wizeman, noticing a disturbance goes to the Waking World and goes to investigate.  Wizeman is ready to raise hell but Eggman persuades him to join in on the Egg Cup Tournament, to which he reluctantly agrees. Wizeman wipes the floor with Bingo & Bongo easily, Reala loses to Shadow, Shadow loses to Wizeman, NiGHTS wins against Puffy but loses to Metal Sonic. (to which they are VERY bitter about to this day) Finally it’s down to Wizeman and Metal Sonic and Wizeman throws the competition just so him and the nightmaren can leave already, he doesn’t have time to care about human pinball tournaments.  On the trip home Wizeman scolds NiGHTS for this whole mess but NiGHTS isn’t having it, it’s not like they TOLD Eggman to mind control them after all!
