===Game Gear and Master System versions===
{{Main|Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (8-bit)}}
[[File:Master-System-Dr-Robotniks-Mean-Bean-Machine-8-bit.png|thumb|235px|The [[Sega Master System]] version of ''[[Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (8-bit)|Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine]]''.]]
After the release of the [[Sega Mega Drive]] version of the game, the 8-bit version of ''[[Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (8-bit)|Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine]]'' was released for [[Sega Game Gear]] in December 1993 and the [[Sega Master System|Master System]] in 1994. While the Game Gear version was only released in the United States and Europe, the Master System version was released in Europe, Australia and Brazil.

The 8-bit version of the game is based on the Game Gear port of ''{{Plain link|https://puyonexus.com/wiki/Puyo_Puyo|Puyo Puyo}}'', which was released on March 19, 1993. While the core gameplay is much like that of the Mega Drive version, certain additional features were replaced with the Puzzle Mode ("''Nazo Nazo Puyo Puyo''" in ''Puyo Puyo'') that consists of a series of thirty challenges.
