This item is a home version of the arcade machine Puyo Puyo, which was conceived by Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) for their own home console. The game idea was acquired completely, and even the graphic design remains the same. It was packed in a nice story about the vile Dr. Robotnik (the villain from Sonic the Hedgehog).
The home planet of Dr. Robotnik, planet Mobius is the setting of the gaming scene. The spiritual Dr. Robotnik has once again made a new invention. With this invention, the bean transformer which is able to transform the funny and lively beans from Beanville mini robot, he hopes to banish the fun and the music of his planet. For this reason, he sends out his robot to catch the beans and cram in a container. At this point the player is now, which has the honourable task to save the beans by it helps them to escape from the tanks. It achieved only when it brings together four beans of the same color. Then can they out locks are namely mysteriously from the tanks. Playfully, it looks like this, that the beans from the top down in groups of three in different colour combinations in your collection containers which occupies half of the pitch, fall off and any shot. You should be always working in one fell swoop now so many beans as possible, because this one injects the opponent who plays in the other tanks at once many black beans. These can then easily be taken and you leak more opponents of these, the own odds are higher. It is too slow so you have to fight soon with umpteen black beans because the opponent leaves nothing untried fill you with black beans. Should the containers are then filled to the brim, you lost the game.
To overcome this not at all easy, you need a rapid response, forward thinking, and you should be able to understand the entire playing field. Stamina it should not lack but also the players, because the individual levels can drag immensely in the length. Only if you have these skills, you will succeed also all robots that are Dr. Robotnik to the page and even Dr. Robotnik himself to defeat and thwart his nasty plans. And even constantly highest concentration is required for the degree of difficulty of the game is pretty high. It is very easily of victory against the first robot it is increasingly difficult to win with every next. The beans are then faster and faster in the tanks, and also each of the robots with its special tactics to work that is always nastier the further you go to thwart your efforts goes. When Dr. Robotnik beans finally almost like raindrops fall so that each smallest error can mean already wide. So you can start not always from scratch there is, fortunately, a password which you can write down but for every level.
All in all is Dr. Robotnik ´s mean bean machine can be completed over evenings and is a very fun and entertaining game. The story mode is very motivating because when you embark on this fun beans rescue operation you get the chance to defeat the Evil Dr. Robotnik once and for all. There is also a fantastic two player mode, having a two player mode is always a great feature in a game, such as this and extends its lifetime limitlessly
Ultimately what really stands out above all is the nice background music, something that tends to lack in the arcade templates and I personally find enchanting.

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is the Westernized version of Puyo Puyo and replaces its characters with those from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, primarily the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog animated series. The gameplay is reminiscent of Tetris, in which the player must organize different colored shapes as they fall down a board. The game received mostly positive reviews, with critics praising the gameplay but criticising the difficulty.

Plot[edit]

The game is set on the planet Mobius, which is inhabited by bean-like creatures. Doctor Robotnik conceives of a plan to bring terror to the world by kidnapping the citizens of Beanville and turning them into robot slaves, and eventually creating an army that will help him rid the planet of fun and joy. To achieve this, he creates the 'Mean Bean-Steaming Machine' in order to transform the bean-like creatures into robots. Putting his plan into motion, Robotnik sends out his Henchbots to gather all the bean-like creatures and group them together in dark dungeons so they can be sent to the Mean Bean-Steaming Machine.^[1] The rest of the game's story revolves around the player character, 'Has Bean',^[2] and their journey to stop Robotnik's henchmen by breaking into the dungeons and freeing the bean-like creatures.

Gameplay[edit]

Based on the original Puyo Puyo game released in Japan, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is a competitive puzzle game which follows the player as they attempt to rescue the people of Beanville from Dr. Robotnik and his army of Badniks. Players can play in either Scenario Mode, in which a single player faces off against thirteen increasingly challenging computer opponents, 1P vs 2P mode in which two players battle against each other, and Exercise Mode, in which a player can simply practise.^[3][2] On each player's grid, groups of beans fall from the top of the grid and can be moved and rotated in place until they reach the bottom. When four beans of the same color are matched together, they disappear from the grid, causing any beans on top to drop below.^[4][5][6] These beans can then automatically trigger other matches, resulting in chain combos of multiple matches in sequence.^[6] By successfully performing chain combos, players can send grey 'refugee beans' to hinder their opponent. These beans cannot be matched normally and can only be removed by completing a match adjacent to them.^[7] A player loses when beans spill over the top of the board, leaving the player unable to add any more beans.^[8] The Game Gear and Master System versions feature an additional mode, Puzzle Mode, in which players must attempt to clear predetermined sets of beans.

Development and release[edit]

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is a Westernized version of Puyo Puyo, a Japanese falling block puzzle game developed by Compile and originally released for the MSX2 in 1991.^[9][10] Sega expressed interest in releasing the game for the United States and Europe; however, fearing that the product would not be popular with the Western audience, the company decided to replace the characters of Puyo Puyo with those featured in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, particularly those from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog animated series, which aired in 1993.^[11]

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine received generally positive reviews. It holds an average score of 75% at GameRankings, based on an aggregate of five reviews.^[20]

Critics praised the various aspects of gameplay, although the difficulty and overuse of the puzzle genre were negative factors. Andy Dyer from Mega acknowledged that the game had a simple concept and also observed that it did not provide enough of a challenge.^[25] Lucas Thomas of IGN enjoyed the game's array of puzzles and recognised that its design was intended to encourage two-player competition.^[4] Reviewing the Mega Drive version, Damien McFerran of NintendoLife similarly echoed Thomas' opinion of the game's intention to encourage two-player competition, and also noted that it provided a 'decent' challenge despite opining that a single player could get bored easily.^[24] In contrast, Andrew Webster of Gamezebo criticised the high level of difficulty and the game's general accessibility due to its 'ancient' password save system.^[26] Aaron Thomas of GameSpot found the game difficult to recommend due to the availability of free Puyo Puyo clones on the PC, but commended its basic mechanics, wide range of game modes, and gradually increasing difficulty.^[23]Eurogamer's Kristan Reed labelled the game as a 'fairly unapologetic reskin' of Puyo Puyo and thought that Sega decided to 'shoehorn' the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise in order to enhance their sales, although Reed admitted the gameplay was solid and addictive.^[9] A reviewer from Jeuxvideo.com questioned the game's originality, saying that 'stacking beans to make them disappear is not a new concept' but would still satisfy fans of the genre.^[5] Amanda Tipping from Computer and Video Games thought that the game was as addictive and as puzzling as the Tetris series, and also preferred the game's colorful visuals as opposed to Tetris.^[22]

The Game Gear version was well received. In a retrospective review, Ron DelVillano from NintendoLife praised the game's wide variety of game modes but noted the soundtrack's lack of diversity. DelVillano also thought that the graphics had not aged well as of 2013, but accepted that games in the puzzle genre did not require prominent visuals.^[12] In a similar vein, a reviewer from Joypad [fr] opined that the game's graphics were not 'a joy' to look at, but understood that it was 'normal' for a game of that genre.^[27] Neal Ronaghan of Nintendo World Report lauded the game's addictive and 'fun' puzzle gameplay but admitted it contained flaws due to the limitations of the Game Gear.^[13]

In 2019, the Master System port was reviewed by actor Vitas Varnas in the book SEGA® Master System: a visual compendium who stated that in comparison to the Genesis release it was still 'fun and challenging without any hinderance due to the system's limitations'.^[28]
