Sonic the Hedgehog

A modern three-dimensional pinball playfield themed on a green-hill video-game world. The layout is read down the middle: a bright green grass-textured playfield with a checkerboard brown-tile path running up the centre, studded with blue-rimmed triangular and teardrop insert lamps and topped by a large faceted green gem. Two red flippers with white stars sit at the bottom, either side of a row of cream caption panels reading SEA SIDE HILL, SKY SANCTUARY, SPEED HIGHWAY, CITY ESCAPE, ROOFTOP RUN, CHEMICAL PLANT, GREEN HILL. Blue lit side rails run the full length. The upper third is dark and crowded with a gantry of grey robot arms, red flasher lamps and a round wire-gated cup, flanked by a yellow sign carrying a black spiked ball icon. Lower apron art shows a cartoon blue hedgehog with white gloves on a gold ring at left and a stout moustached man in a red coat and brown hat at right, on a sunny sky and grass background. Dominant colours are green, red, blue, black.

Full vertical playfield photographed in a red cabinet with blue-lit side rails. Lower playfield is bright green grass over a brown brick-textured path, with gold rings, white daisies and mushrooms, and a huge faceted pale-green Chaos Emerald set in the centre. A column of green translucent inserts runs down the middle reading stage names, flanked by blue, teal and pink triangular bumpers decorated with stars. Big blue SONIC THE HEDGEHOG lettering sits mid-field above the emerald. Two large character illustrations fill the lower field: a blue/grey angular figure with orange flame streaks across the right, and Sonic's blue spines at left, with circular H and R/O letter markers on the slingshots. The upper playfield turns grey and mechanical: a grinning white-faced character on a red sign at top left, red chevron arrows and hazard stripes, a central black-rimmed bumper with a red-and-yellow figure inside, silver rails and wireform ramps, and a small helicopter model at top right. Two red flippers, two red slingshots with star targets, and a metal apron plate complete the field.

A tall, brightly coloured licensed cartoon playfield on a blue wooden cabinet with a chrome trim leg visible bottom right. The lower third is green Checkerboard Hill turf under a blue sky, with a large blue-and-yellow SONIC THE HEDGEHOG logo on the apron flanked by two gold-ringed portraits: a grinning blue hedgehog giving a thumbs-up on the left, and a rotund orange-coated man with red glasses and a huge white moustache on the right. A stack of pale rectangular panels runs up the centre reading Stardust Hill, Sky Sanctuary, Speed Highway, City Escape, Chemical Plant and Green Hill. The middle of the field is dominated by a huge faceted green diamond ringed by studs, surrounded by radiating teardrop and triangular light inserts with star icons. Left of centre a blue hedgehog character runs across grass; right of centre an orange two-tailed flying figure streaks across red speed lines. The upper third turns red and metallic, with a large red cone-shaped dish, three round bumpers with character-topped caps, rows of vertical red score windows, silver ball-guide rails forming a sharp V, and a red wire ramp. Colour is dominated by grass green, sky blue, hot red and yellow.

A backlit backglass assembly framed by a black cabinet header. Across the very top sits a narrow black-and-white printed placard reading ARCADE EDITION in white capitals with a yellow triangular A, over the smaller line JERSEY JACK PINBALL. Below, the artwork is a bright cartoon landscape in saturated blues and greens: a coastal canyon of checkerboard-patterned brown and tan stone cliffs with grass-topped ledges, a white waterfall on the left, blue sea, a stone arch on the right and small palms. Centred at the top is a huge grinning blue hedgehog with white muzzle, green eyes and white gloves, leaning forward with one fist thrust at the viewer and the other arm swept left. Top right carries the yellow-and-orange SONIC logo with THE HEDGEHOG in white on a red bar, and a small circular badge reading JERSEY JACK PINBALL. A rectangular display window fills the lower two thirds, showing LAST GAME / SCORES in big yellow letters, PLAYER 1 and 31,243,890 in white, a full-body orange cartoon cat in white gloves and red shoes on the left, a red hooded cartoon figure at the bottom left, and a partial blue hedgehog face at the right edge. Sunflowers and purple flowers border the screen. Small white warning print and a triangular hazard symbol sit at the top right of the black bezel.

A landscape-format pinball backglass with a wide royal-blue starburst background, framed by a lower border of tan/brown brickwork. At upper left a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog with white gloves and red-and-white shoes dives in, one hand outstretched, grinning. At upper right a stocky brown mustachioed man in a red jumpsuit with white trim, yellow buckle tabs, blue goggles on his forehead and a large white glove, glares left with clenched fist. Between them, centred high, a large yellow 'SONIC' logo in a blue wordmark box with white outline, and below it 'THE HEDGEHOG' in white block capitals on a red bar. Dozens of shiny gold rings scatter across the blue background, plus white and pale-blue four-pointed sparkles. A large rectangular inset LCD panel fills the lower two-thirds, showing a blue and red radiating burst with a red outline of the Isle of Man and glowing text 'JERSEY' / 'JACK' in blue neon, 'PINBALL' in white, with a small circled R. The brick border is decorated with green sunflowers, white-and-lilac five-petal flowers, and upright gold rings; a small dark rectangular hole sits at the bottom centre. Above the art a black speaker panel carries a gold plaque reading 'Collectors Edition' with 'JERSEY JACK PINBALL' and a serial box '001'.

A backlit glass backglass panel framed in black plastic with two round speaker grilles and a rectangular badge at top centre. The upper third shows a brightly painted 3D cartoon hedgehog scene: a blue hedgehog with a tan muzzle, large white eyes with green irises, a black nose, spiky head quills and white-gloved hands flying toward the viewer, left hand open-palmed and right hand thrust forward in a fist, grinning. Behind him is a sunny checkerboard-land landscape of floating water and grass-topped blocks, a tall waterfall spilling down brown rock cliffs at the left, blue sky with white clouds, palm trees and a stone arch ring at the right. Upper right carries a large yellow-and-blue chunky logo with 'SONIC' above a red banner reading 'THE HEDGEHOG'. The lower two thirds is a large flat dark display rectangle with radiating navy-blue and dark red sunburst rays, centred on a red neon-style spade outline enclosing glowing blue 'JERSEY JACK' over white 'PINBALL'. Below and around it the checkerboard terrain continues, with a bottom border of seven large cut gemstones in red, magenta, blue, green, cyan, yellow and clear, plus painted sunflowers and white-pink morning-glory flowers on the side borders.
