Sonic Pinball Party (ソニック ピンボール パーティー) is a video game released for Game Boy Advance in 2003. It is a celebration of sorts for Sonic Team, featuring many references to other games they developed.
Sonic Pinball Party was released exclusively to Target stores in North America[1]. Because of this, it went largely unnoticed and has since became highly sought after. This drew ire from fans in Canada and Mexico, which do not have Target stores, and Sega made no alternate arrangements to get the game to other stores in those countries. It wasn't until the release of Sonic Advance & Sonic Pinball Party Combo Pack that Sonic Pinball party became available in other retail stores.
This is one of several games to include the Tiny Chao Garden minigame. Tiny Chao Garden is unlocked by default in this game.

Gameplay
Players control the two flippers and can also shake the board in 3 directions. The goal in Basic mode is simply to rack up points. Story mode uses Sonic the Hedgehog as the story's main character as he works his way through the Egg Cup pinball tournament to rescue his brainwashed comrades. Rings collected in either Basic or Story mode can be used in the Chao Garden minigame or in the Casinopolis minigames. There is also a party mode available which requires each player to have a game cartridge. Party mode has three different games to play which are: Bakudan, a game that requires players to fling bombs at each other, Hockey, a game that requires you to defend your goal, and Biru no Bori, a game that requires players to fling a single ball up a vertical passageway.
Boards
The game features 3 Pinball tables: one is based on the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the second is based on the Sega Saturn classic NiGHTS into Dreams, and the third is based on the Sega Dreamcast and arcade game Samba de Amigo.
The Sonic table has a Neo Green Hill Zone, Secret Base Zone, Casino Paradise Zone, Ice Mountain Zone, Angel Island Zone, Egg Rocket Zone, X-Zone, and The Moon Zone boards. They are all based on the zones from Sonic Advance. The player must first acquire five hundred rings in Ring mode before beating Eggman at X-Zone to enter The Moon Zone. Going into a hidden hole three times changes your character to Tails, then Knuckles, then Amy, and back to Sonic.
On each board, the player must beat Eggman to move to the next area. Until the player loses, they will keep playing the zones in a circle.
On the Casinopolis boards you can use rings to gamble in a trio of minigames. The three games are Roulette, Slots, and Bingo. Only Roulette is available at the start and the other two need to be unlocked by playing through Story mode.
