Overview
- Jersey Jack Pinball and Sega publicly revealed the machine and opened pre-orders on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, selling three models priced at $9,999 (Arcade), $12,000 (Special), and $15,000 (Collector).
- Veteran designer Steve Ritchie called it "the fastest game I've ever made," citing magnetized ramps and a fast-flow layout that aim to recreate Sonic’s speed in physical play.
- The table uses official Sonic assets, including music from Sonic Generations, Green Hill Zone references, a Dr. Eggman mechanical topper that creates a boss-battle effect, and Chaos Emerald–triggered multiball.
- Jersey Jack says the game includes modern hardware such as a 27-inch HD LCD, immersive RGB lighting, Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth, a player camera, and more than 6,000 recorded voice lines from Sonic cast talent.
- The release follows recent IP-focused pinball launches and signals a continued industry push toward Millennial-era franchises to attract younger collectors and barcade audiences.
