This game is brutally hard, I have never beaten it, but I still like it, because it's the only game that is set in a SatAM/Archie-esque universe where the Freedom Fighters exist. I love the darker, grittier aesthetics and music, reminds me of the cartoon.

It’s hard as hell. Have you ever played it on genesis? I’ve never gotten anywhere near the boss of Lava Powerhouse because it’s so brutally unforgiving to the player. If you don’t take time to farm points for lives, you can kiss your sanity and pride as a gamer goodbye.
I think it’s awesome and a fun genre bender. Despite my love for it, STILL can’t beat it without save states and I’m a 90s kid, so that speaks to its challenge.
This game what is the definition of the uncanny valley and it was so unsettling to me as a child. The sound design was especially effective at conveying dread. The boss music was unsettling, the loud mechanical screaming of Robotnik anytime he takes damage was disturbing. His forms were all unsettling as well. Stage two Wass with all of those Robotnik shaped floating heads looked so strange. I think this was the closest sonic has ever been to horror.
Sonic CD? Sonic SatAM? Trust me. Sonic is basically if Mario went full dark not giving a fuck. But now thanks to brats and Nintendo, we got that dipshit show Sonic Boom & Dr Eggface.
This and Lava Powerhouse were my favorite themes in this game. They're so dark, edgy and hardcore and totally unlike anything else in any other Sonic game. The only games that come close to matching the tone of these themes (apart from Sonic Spinball) would be Shadow the Hedgehog or Sonic Unleashed.
Edgy is the wrong word. Edgy implies something trying to be serious or heavy, without having the situational context to justify such an attitude This is literally an acid spewing, degenerate sewer robot in the middle of a Cave filled with toxins. That’s just straight up dark. The game’s difficulty even sells you on that
The sheer difficulty of the game itself, as well as the menacing ambiance of this theme are the 2 reasons why Sonic Spinball used to scare me as a little kid, and thus I could never get into it
Excellent tune. Quite menacing, with plenty of neat variations + dem awesome, super sharp lead notes! 100% fitting for the weird boss fights in this game :D
This game has so unique style on it's music amongst all of the sonic mega drive games. And yes some songs sound just horrible (stares at the options screen in horror) Most of the stage music and especially boss music is rather great. Yes it has that "Genesis twang" knob turned all the way to 11, but somehow they pull it off and it kinda suits the rest of the game.
This game is so monstrously difficult it isn’t even funny. The games soundtrack already makes it up for you. You are in Robotniks lair, created by him. He is about to achieve world domination and you’re the only one capable of stopping him. All breaks and stops are pulled, because HOLY SHIT this game doesn’t pull punches.
I literally could not play up to the first boss as a kid because I was terrified of it. I didn't get to actually play through until I emulated it years later.
This must have been the most ridiculous Sonic Game I've ever played. It was long, annoying and extremely difficult at start. When you finally realised that you can actually control Sonic-ball midair reduced the number of deaths radically, but when you went against Robotnik with Fast ball settings and 99% of your hits went over him and he kept throwing you out of the ship over again made me really frustrated. Yet I still eventually beat him. I've beaten this game and I won't be doing it again.
1:05 can someone please help me find out what this sound is that sound like an old man shouting "Yo-Yo" over and over again. I would be extremely grateful.
Casually playing the game to beat it is fun. Trying to get all the rings as well as the emeralds? Suddenly its one of the most frustrsting wnd tedious games of all time.

It's refreshing to get to listen to this without that Robotnik spider/scorpion/crab going "EEEEEEEEENNNNH" the entire time
tRU X'D
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
his name is scorpius
But that’s the best part to hear their agonizing scream
Nobody:
The replies: *EEEEEEEHHHHUHHHH*
This music is underrated... It really gives off the feel that Robotnik is fed up and wants you dead! It also gives off the smell of Robotnik's socks!
Not Robotnik's socks
oh god-
Scorpion boss: *gets hit* EEEEEEE, EEEEEEE, EEEEEEE, EEEEEE!!!
Ikr lol!!!!
Keep it up.
SHUT UP! PLEASE!
EEEEEEEH!
AAA-

I beat this game as a kid multiple after weeks of dying to it.
Mean Bean Machine seems to be set in the same/a similar universe too
@@modestMismagius105 That one feels more like AoStH... then again Archie early on had some AoStH elements too.
@@JoshSonic fair
@@modestMismagius105 both seem to be canon according to sonic mania and sonic origins
"Smashing!"
"! Overheating !"
"Yeah! Keep it up!!!"

That fucking second boss...
Not that it was the hardest thing ever, but it was kinda terrifying.
I always found the scorpion kinda funny looking. Something about a robotnik face on a giant bug.
The Scorpion boss is Scorpius and it was actually quite easy.
Fuck the Lava boss, I couldnt unsee that fuckin face as a kid
That boss was super trippy.
Lets boogie.
Shout out to this song for being my headphone test for years
I want to hear a metal cover of this...
Jonny Atma just did a cover of Toxic Caves on his Sonic Fan Medley 2. I recommend giving it a listen.
What if I told you you already are?
It already sounds like a Heavy metal song.
@@stingysmailbox8209 but it has that sweet genesis style to it
@@stingysmailbox8209 Definitely. All of the levels except the first one are metal songs (with the 3rd being more industrial).
*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
LMFAOOOOOO

@@M3TALG0DS Fr, both Adventure games had a seriously dark backstory... Sonic is basically Mario if he had actually had backstory!
The theme song of all my nightmares as a kid.
this game was pretty much obscure until now
since the OST is too good for a Video Game Adaptation for a Cartoon Adaptation to a Video Game
From “My Mix; 50+ Videos”
WHAT THIS SONG IS GOOD!! O_O
@@Star_Mans_Legacy Most of this OST is good!
im a kid and i still like it
I never made it past Toxic Caves. This is all new to me
Don't worry, man. I didn't make it, either.
How? Toxic Cave is soooo easy.
That second level it was and is so hard hahaha
Hispanic! At the Disco I didn’t make it past Toxic Caves either.
BrothaNBlue Easy? I can’t even get the first Chaos Emerald.
1 person smelled Robotnik's socks
Graz D and then he Strike 3 times out the window.

Ah, that beautiful Genesis twang, a huge part of my childhood through early adulthood.
1:05 *Sonic 3 vibes*
Ikr!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

I know. This is and was the coolest best boss battle theme I’ve ever heard!
What about Infinite's theme from Sonic Forces :P (Not any of the battle themes, his "song")
Biometrix It sounds more like Fallen Hero type music than edgy.
Edgy is the wrong word. Edgy implies something trying to be serious or heavy, without having the situational context to justify such an attitude
This is literally an acid spewing, degenerate sewer robot in the middle of a Cave filled with toxins. That’s just straight up dark. The game’s difficulty even sells you on that
Showdown is also pretty dark.
The sheer difficulty of the game itself, as well as the menacing ambiance of this theme are the 2 reasons why Sonic Spinball used to scare me as a little kid, and thus I could never get into it
just this first boss fight scared me - I got so good at getting to him tho
Its very dark for a Sonic game
I loved this theme as a kid. I always loved jamming to it whenever I got to a boss.
This was too good for a spin off game.
well, its really good for a game that was developed in only 2 months. the physics aren't great but they are indeed functional.
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, SPIN
One of my favorite songs from one of the most underrated Sonic games ever.
The logo kinda makes Sonic look like he has fangs.
Now I cant unsee that lol
Unleashed for the Genesis Confirmed.
I thought it was just the one side, but both have it, sort of an incongruence that was so 90s (and SEGA in particular, just look at Nomad's screen).
after 24 years I never noticed that
Sonic is Rotor confirmed
This is the most Sega Genesis song I ever heard
Excellent tune. Quite menacing, with plenty of neat variations + dem awesome, super sharp lead notes! 100% fitting for the weird boss fights in this game :D
Random thing, you've heard of Cosmic Carnage, that crappy 32x fighting game, right?
Facts
This is close to the top of my list of boss themes that conjure up memories of RAGE!
SMELL MY SOCKS!!
*”EEEEYYEEENNNNNNNHHHH”*
- Scorpius
"JUMP IN!"
Kid me, seeing a brundle-robotnik: Uhhhh, no thanks.
Used to have nightmares of the scene when sonic drowns in the water in the beginning intro. DAYUUM
The bass is doing left-right, left-rights on my headphones. I love it.
The shortest game in the series Only 4 levels with challenging objectives. And probably the most unique soundtracks ever created.
Fuck, this game was HARD!!! Got to Showdown a few times, but never beat it. The Machine is really where the difficulty steps up.
Spehiroth I never found all the emeralds of level 2.
@Chris Slitas exactly like me , couldn't fine all emeralds or boss room i guess..
I still own the game on cartridge... 33 and still can't beat showdown (the shame!)
I beat this game a few times as a kid.
@@kainedakillerv2704 37 here and I only beat the game once. No shame in not beating it. A lot of people haven't gotten past the 1st level.
This game has so unique style on it's music amongst all of the sonic mega drive games. And yes some songs sound just horrible (stares at the options screen in horror)

This song rocks hard - way harder than the SNES could do!
Sega does what Nintendon't
0:50 Satisfying as fuck
If they ever play this in the club, I'm going in!
I remember stumbing upon a remix of this on Soundcloud loooooong before I knew what Sonic Spinball was.

You are in Robotniks lair, created by him. He is about to achieve world domination and you’re the only one capable of stopping him. All breaks and stops are pulled, because HOLY SHIT this game doesn’t pull punches.
My mom can speed run this but refuses to play any other sonic or pinball games
That's cool! This game is tough so it'd be cool to see her speedun.
I literally could not play up to the first boss as a kid because I was terrified of it. I didn't get to actually play through until I emulated it years later.
EEENH!!!! EEEENHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEATH IS THE MEANING OF ALL THINGS
Sonic Origins: a really tense bonus stage
This is the music gamers hear when it’s time to lock in 🤣
Yes, the American/SatAm/Early Archie Robotnik, the devil himself.
still love playing this game. today. this boss music is really awesome. make me wanna make Robotnik smell his socks XD
to me, it sounds like something from Cirque Du Soleil mixed with some of Brad Fiedel's compositions from The Terminator
Imagine an MMA fighter usin' a remake o' dis as entrance music!
What if it was Bob Sapp?
I like the use of actual video in this
Meatloaf. Meatloaf. It’s all new MEATLOAF CRUNCH!
This song is the turn up
I unironically like sonic spinball. It's just a pinball clone and that's enough to make me happy
This game was so hard as a kid.

it wasn't ridiculous and difficult for me, that was actually easy back in the 90s and I got Sega Genesis Mini when it made by sega america.
When i first saw this I was like "Wth is that?!" ever since then going up in my addict scared me
I always wondered what a dubstep/trap mix of this song would sound like.
Music reminds me of the music in the megadrive Shadowrun game. Good times.
SCREEEEEEEEEEE! SCREEEESCREEEEE!
This music reminds me of Story Theme 3 from Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2.
This game deserves more love.
No, the game over sound no The Eenh sound from scorpion thingy No SCORPION BOSS NOOOOOOOOOO Boss music YES YES YES YES
I love this boss music....last stage boss room was so worth it.
It doesn't sound the same without the scream of a thousand tortured souls
The official "shit just got real" music
You guys are lucky... I never heard this as a kid...
What caused Sega to go in the studio and go this hard?
Sounds like Earthworm Jim music
No, this is before earthworm jim game comes out.
@@VictorGonzalez-xs9oc r/Woooooooosh
Something between AoStH and SatAM robotnik soundtracks
this game was my favorite for a time, but I finishead this game only one time, this game is really hard
1:05 can someone please help me find out what this sound is that sound like an old man shouting "Yo-Yo" over and over again. I would be extremely grateful.
Whenever I saw tht logo, I thought Sonic was wearing a red hoodie cuz I thought the shoes were sleeves...
I've always thought the same
Between this and the US Sonic CD boss track I dont know what one scared me more as a kid.
Genisis Maxuim Carnage first boss music
@@kevinerbs2778 i love that one. The guitar 🔥 🎸 🔥 lol. It is unsettling though.
Aw yeah when you hear this it gets real Scorpius is the easiest boss take out the tail and let him have it
get under the tail and its basically gg
Smell My Socks
Strike 3, Yer Out
Skunds like a mix if some Shadowrun and Shaq Fu; say what you will about Shaq Fu, but it had soem damn good music.
Seriously good stuff!
You could probably make a sick rap beat out of the bass line
this music plays when shit getting done
This souds EVIL i like it
The second boss. That's all I think about when I listen to this. The trauma.
Lets boogie.
I was quite scared of it as a kid. That looked like something out of a horror anime.
the giant enemy spider
Robotnik’s theme is lit
The hardest fuckin game in the world, I beat it about a year ago for the first time, been trying for a long time
This game was better than sonic pinball party
But not better than pokemon spinball
For legal reasons that's a joke
It's like Pacific Rim.
Smell my socks!
Err...click!
Reminds me of After the Flesh by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult from The Crow OST
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Damn the bass
hard bosses = awesome game
0:48 sounds like my washing machine when it's off balance
this theme reminds me of the boss music from Donkey Kong Country 3
We need a remake by Christian Whitehead with a more industrial-like soundtrack.
someone NEEDS to make a mashup of this and a Nine Inch Nails song!!!
Quake theme, maybe? It was composed by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails!
Sonic Spinball's music was probably inspired by NIN's early music back when Pretty Hate Machine and Broken were out.
To me, very underrated music from a very underrated game.
Sounds like sex music for super villains. Still awesome.
why the hell is the music in this game so fucking tense bro
The judge is keeping the beat with his gavel.
Casually playing the game to beat it is fun.
Trying to get all the rings as well as the emeralds? Suddenly its one of the most frustrsting wnd tedious games of all time.
I got to the level right after the first boss...
Then got killed in less than three seconds... >.<
Prima Musik, though...
Ass game
Decent music
Extreme potential for a restoration
The only song i really liked from this.
I assume you've never seen Lava Powerhouse, then
@@FreakoNek I don’t like it.
