There is no really easy way to get this! So what I suggest is that you find a loop that can rack up points, try get all the rings (I think if you collect all of them it calculates to 1,000,000), When you start getting big numbers start saving (Preferably when you get another 1,000,000) and if you have crap reaction times like I do use the A button to use both flippers at the same time instead of pressing X and B to controller the other two individually!
This one is a pain in the ass!

I thought this one was kind of easy. Did it with a friend in 20 minutes and only "died" three times. Was kind of fun too.

Easy way: use turbo with A. 13 minutes, done!

I personally loved this achievement, took 5 mins just having fun, you get 500k for just the emeralds. You'll be guaranteed this on your first level, my only problem was the damn sewer warps. but yeah an easy 30g, really fun.

Sonic Spinball, Truly the best game in the collection.

I'd never played it before. In my top two best games I hadn't played from the collection along with Fatal Labyrinth.

In this game, you will travel around the levels in pinball mode. The goal is to obtain 3 Chaos Emeralds and then head up to the location where the boss it. For this achievement you need to get a total of 10 Million points in the first level. It sounds a lot but you can easily get 1 Million points in a short period of time. You will only be able to get the achievement whilst you play the first level. You cannot get it in the 2nd level or onwards.
A fast way I'd say you can get the achievement is to go for the 3 Chaos Emeralds. They alone give you a big bonus in points. Once you have all 3 Chaos Emeralds you should be close to 10 Million points. Once you have 10 Million Points, the achievement will unlock. I suggest you avoid the boss battle as well. Defeating him would make you go onward to the 2nd level.
Tip: If you die your score will not be intact and will remain the same. But if you have grabbed any Chaos Emeralds, you cannot retrieve the same one a 2nd time.

This one will require a bit of effort, to get this you'll have to do most of the first level if not all of it.
Completing level 1 will definitely get you 10,000,000 points because there will be bonuses.
I'll run through the basics of what needs to be done. There are 4 tables in a diamond formation and in the middle of this diamond is where the level's 3 emeralds are located.
BOTTOM TABLE
The bottom table will be the one you start on (so the emeralds will be above you), on this table you have to hit 2 switches at the top of the table to unplug the cork and drain the slime from the emerald. Once you do this, the pipes to the left and right tables will open.
On the bottom table, if you fall between the flippers then you'll have to jump up quickly. If you are not quick enough then the creature will try and eat you and you have one last chance to save yourself by tapping the flipper buttons as fast as you can, if you fail here you lose a ball. Falling into the toxic waste on any of the tables will also lose you a ball.
LEFT/RIGHT TABLES
Emerald 1:
Ok, you will spend most of your time here, I'll assume you're on the left table (so reverse the positioning for the right table: left for right and right for left etc.).
On the right side of the table, there is a red and white switch, you'll need to pull this first ideally. Because it clears the way to one of the emeralds.
On the left side, there is a pipe which you'll have to clear 3 barrels from before you can go all the way up it.
Up the middle of the table is a worm zone which once you get up to 3 on, you open up a route to the right. This is pretty much the same way you'll go as if you cleared the barrels in the aforementioned pipe so which route you use is up to you.
Provided you have pulled the red and white switch, you can go ahead and jump up onto the flipper (or roll down on it from the barrel pipe), you need to go up the pipe on the right.
This will take you up to the top table but they won't let you in until you have 3 emeralds, so you'll drop down into the middle bit where the emeralds are. Now as we pulled the switch on the left table, you'll need to pick right. You'll get an emerald now.
Emerald 2:
You'll need to repeat all of the above on the right table for the 2nd emerald. (Alternately if you did right first, you'll need to do left.)
Emerald 3:
Now the third emerald, this is the one which you had to drain the slime from. This one could have been obtained before the other two if you wished.
If you have the other 2 emeralds already you, could just access the middle bit the way you have obtained the other 2 emeralds and there will be no cart and you will fall straight down onto the emerald.
Or you could do it the risky way, if you fall between the flippers on the left or right table, there is a oil drum in the toxic waste which is your only defense against falling in the toxic waste to your death. If you land in the oil drum, you're there and all you need to do is row it across to the middle where the drained emerald is and jump into the container and onto the emerald being careful not to miss it.
Once you have all 3 emeralds, the top table is now open and the level's boss awaits you.
TOP TABLE:
There is a warp hole in the middle of the table which will warp you above the boss. The idea is to jump into the gap between the boss's tail and its body and you will knock off its tail.
Now it will be harder to continuously damage him but that is how you damage the boss. Once the boss is defeated the level is done and you'll be guaranteed to have 10,000,000 points by now.
Notes: You can control the movement of sonic slightly using the directions on the d pad or left stick.
If you lose a life, you may have to repeat some parts of the level again but not all, for example you will not lose an emerald so you'll be back to where you were when you obtained your last emerald pretty much.
You can snapshot save using the Select button's save function.
If you are no good at this game, try finding parts of the pinball machine that you can just milk for points. Unfortunately this will be a slow process but combo'd with the save function above, this could work.
