A hybrid popcorn machine and arcade game released only in Japan. Players would choose from three different flavors of popcorn and turn the crank to help Sonic and Tails cook it, then to help them escape from Robotnik when he tries to destroy the operation. Once the popcorn is done, it is dispensed in a bag with Sonic inviting the player to come back any time.

A Sonic game that was installed in a popcorn machine. I had to provide my own popcorn as my PC lacks the “popcorn maker” component.
After you insert your money, you get to pick your flavour of popcorn: butter, salted or curry (curry sounds very intriguing), then you play a quick minigame to run away from Dr Robotnik as he attempts to stop Sonic from making some popcorn. If Dr Robotnik does catch up to Sonic, then Sonic will dodge on his own, as the game won’t stop you getting popcorn if you fail.
Next up, you have to rotate a crank to stir the popcorn as Dr Robotnik tries to punch some, once this is ready, Tails will fill a cup and go off-screen to give it to you (if you had the actual popcorn machine, that is).
It’s an interesting novelty. There’s not much actual “game” to it, but it’s still technically a game, and would have been a fun amusement in an arcade.
