Fun fact:
>On the final day of Spinball's development, the team was throwing their "end-of-project" party when the Japanese group working on Sonic 3 dropped in to see how things turned out. The start-up screen for the demo featured the title jingle from Sonics 1 and 2. Hirokazu Yasuhara, director of both games, wondered how the Spinball team managed to talk Sega into licensing the original theme. The rights to the original Sonic music composed by Masato Nakamura belong to his band, Dreams Come True - a fact the Spinball team was not aware of.

>DCT's licensing fee was more than Sega was willing to cough up, so at the very last minute composer Howard Drossin whipped up a new opening jingle that became Spinball's title theme.
