* DummiedOut: The known leaked beta of the game has unused sprites of an imprisoned Vector The Crocodile and Sonic's other friends from back when he was part of a band. They just didn't have any luck at all...

TheOneWith beta Mighty and Ray.

The game is the real origin of the recurring colored Sphere items that have been known to fans since the Special Stages from ''Sonic 3''. The red and yellow Sonic brothers were most likely reimagined into Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel, Sonic's teammates in ''VideoGame/SegaSonicTheHedgehog''.

During gameplay, 2x2 spheres of blue, red or yellow Sonics fall into the screen and must be erased for as long as possible as you'd expect. To do that, the player must build a line of a single color such that it either surrounds a group of spheres or completes a path across any two edges of the board. The game's speed increases as time goes on, and surviving for around 20 minutes until Level 100 is one of the game's two goals. This being ''Sonic'', you can also clear the game very quickly via the alternate and difficult method of maxing out your score by clearing nearly the entire board at once several times in a row.

* DifficultButAwesome: It just feels good to clear over half of the screen at once. You get a ton of bells and whistles with Eggman getting zapped and possibly a brief full screen animation and a score multiplier for fully clearing the board. The maximum amount of points you can get in a move is a whooping 2 million plus multipliers on [[AwesomeButImpractical the second row]], but if you mess up just once or the correct spheres don't come you're a goner.

** One of the methods of winning in Versus mode is by scoring 300,000 points.

* LuckBasedMission: To clear the game via the score method, you just have to perform a full screen clear 5 times at the third row of the board, as you'll get 2 million points every time you succeed. Easier said than done. Aside from having to bet on the sphere sets coming in just the right order, it is easy to clear stuff by accident and once that happens you won't get an even pile of spheres until the next Chaos Emerald comes.

* NoPlotNoProblem: The game has no story and doesn't give any context for the red and yellow Sonics.

* SpeedRun: Well, it ''is'' a Sonic game. The game can be won in around three minutes and it records best clear times in the high score table.

* DifficultButAwesome: It just feels good to clear over half of the screen at once. You get a ton of bells and whistles with Eggman getting zapped and possibly a brief full screen animation and a score multiplier for fully clearing the board. The maximum amount of points you can get in a move is a whooping 4 million on [[AwesomeButImpractical the second row]], but if you mess up just once or the correct spheres don't come you're a goner.

* SpeedRun: Well, it ''is'' a Sonic game. The game can be won in around ten minutes and it records best clear times in the high score table.

* DummiedOut: The known leaked beta of the game has unused sprites of an imprisoned Vector The Crocodile and Sonic's other friends from back when he was part of a band. They just can't catch a break...

During gameplay, 2x2 blocks of blue, red or yellow Sonics fall into the screen and must be erased for as long as possible as you'd expect. To do that, the player must build a line of a single color such that it either surrounds a group of blocks or completes a path across any two edges of the board.

* DifficultyByAcceleration: The longer you last, the quicker the blocks fall.

* LuckBasedMission: To clear the game via the score method, you just have to perform a full screen clear 5 times at the third row of the board, as you'll get 2 million points every time you succeed. Easier said than done. Aside from having to bet on a single type of block coming in just the right order, it is easy to clear blocks by accident and once that happens you won't get an even pile of blocks until the next Chaos Emerald comes.
* NintendoHard: The game has somewhat complex rules for a falling blocks puzzle and reaching the limit of either score or speed level is a tall request. Similarly to ''{{Franchise/Kirby}}'s Star Stacker'', it can appear easy to clear the whole screen in a few moves but clogging it beyond repair is even more so: it is common to create situations where the sides of the play field contain little to no usable Sonics and it's not easy to get more Sonics inside without also piling up the center six columns in the process as all the blocks the player drops only come in a 2x2 square.

* OddballInTheSeries: A FallingBlocks puzzle of all things about good ol' Sonic and that early on the franchise's life. But unlike with ''VideoGame/SonicEraser'', one can tell the developers put effort into making the game's aesthetics and mechanics fit the series. You can clear blocks by tracing curves around the screen and there's potential for speedy full playthoughs in a time where games in the genre rarely had an end goal.

The game's speed increases as time goes on, and surviving for around 20 minutes until Level 100 is one of the game's two goals. The faster but risky one is to gain 10 million points by clearing massive chunks of Sonics at once.

To do that, the player must build a line of a single color such that it either surrounds a group of blocks or completes a path across any two edges of the board. Clearing Sonics deals a proportionate amount of damage to Dr. Eggman at the middle of the screen until the player is awarded with a Chaos Emerald that will clear all lines over it.

* NoFairCheating: There's a pause function coded in, likely for a possible Sega Genesis port. It turns all spheres on the board greyscale.

* OddballInTheSeries: A FallingBlocks puzzle of all things about good ol' Sonic and that early on the franchise's life. At least the aesthetics are more fitting to the series than those of ''Sonic Eraser'' and there ''is'' a certain Sonic-ness to being able to clear blocks by tracing curves around the screen.

* GameOverMan: Eggman juggles the Chaos Emeralds just like in the bad ending of ''Sonic 1'' once the player loses.

* SmartBomb: The Chaos Emerald block wipes all lines over it and awards bonus points. If it lands on the bottom of the matrix it gives even more points along with a special message. The way it works encourages players to keep one column free for as long as possible, but this means is also useless for when the player is in a pinch.
