Utilizing Power Sneakers to perform new moves, Sonic navigates the Pinball Defense System to infiltrate Dr. Robotnik's Veg-O-Fortress. Players bounce through multi-round zones containing lava pits and toxic pools, using levers and spring launches to progress through the volcanic island and retrieve the Chaos Emeralds.
