Endrift listed this game as a "holy grail" bug getting it to boot which she documented. (and was the first GBA emulator to get this game to boot). I'm assuming it is the same issue here, and if it is then it would also impact game saving in Sonic Pinball Party:

It has to do with an instruction accessing invalid memory after a DMA completes, which should result in loading the DMA value again.

Editted to add the link to the mGBA commit that addressed this issue in that emulator: https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/commit/93633ea60524ac2983e747e13656b896544299cf

For "Sonic Spinball Advance" you meant to say "Sonic Pinball Party", right? As the Sonic Spinball port in Sega Smash Pack doesn't have a battery pack afaik

Whoops, I mislabeled it. You are correct. I updated my comment.
