Sonic the Hedgehog Golf (J2ME)

Whether it's Spinball or ball spin, Sonic is all about balls and the rotation thereof. (The game is rudimentary but novel.)

Free Movement Mode#

While free movement is enabled, you can move the ball around using the arrow keys. You can toggle the speed of the movement by pressing 5 or the pad button. The mode can be disabled by pressing 1 again.

Exception Handler#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Find out why the text is invisible (is the color of the text black? Does it spawn off screen? etc.).

If a memory error occurs, the below screen will appear. The text "HANDSET ERROR: PLEASE RELOAD TO CONTINUE PLAY" is supposed to be displayed here, though it does not.
