"Doctor Eggman's Mean Bean Machine"}}, also known as '''''Dr. Robotnik and His Mean Bean Machine''''' in European countries outside of United Kingdom, is a falling-block puzzle video game in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]] developed by Compile and published by [[Sega]] for the [[Sega Mega Drive]]. Released in North America and Europe in late 1993, the game is based on the Japanese puzzle game ''{{Plain link|https://puyonexus.com/wiki/Puyo_Puyo_(1992)|Puyo Puyo}}''. ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' is also the only spin-off game in the ''Sonic'' franchise to take place in the ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' universe, which ran during the game's release.

The core gameplay of ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' is derived from the Japanese Mega Drive port of the original ''Puyo Puyo'' arcade game, but with altered visuals and rearranged music tracks. Here, the player takes the role of [[Has Bean]], whose mission is to rescue the kidnapped citizens of [[Beanville]] and defeat [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Dr. Ivo Robotnik]]. ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' later received a separate [[Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (8-bit)|8-bit version]] for the [[Sega Game Gear]] in 1993 and [[Sega Master System|Master System]] in 1994, which featured similar gameplay and additional modes. The game has also appeared in some compilations and was re-released on the [[Wii]]'s Virtual Console [[Steam]] and the [[Nintendo Switch]] via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription service.

==Plot==
{{Spoiler}}
[[File:Dr-Robotniks-Mean-Bean-Machine-Title-Screen.png|thumb|225px|left|The title screen of ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine''.]]
[[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Dr. Robotnik]], the evil mastermind of planet [[Mobius (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Mobius]], has hatched a new plan to menace the world and its inhabitants - by kidnapping the citizens of [[Beanville]] and turning them into devious robot slaves, the doctor will create an army that will help him rid the planet of music and fun forever. To this end, he has created a giant [[Roboticization (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|roboticizing machine]] called the "[[Mean Bean-Steaming Machine]]" to use on the jolly [[Bean (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|bean folk]] of Beanville.<ref name="manual">''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' ([[Sega Mega Drive|Sega Genesis]]) United States instruction booklet, pg. 1.</ref>

Putting his plan into motion, Robotnik sends out his [[Badnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|henchbots]] to round up all the unfortunate bean folk and group them together in dark dungeons so they can be sent to the Mean Bean-Steaming Machine.<ref name="manual"/> With help from [[Has Bean]], the player must now stand up against Robotnik's henchbots by breaking into the dungeons, freeing the bean folk before it is too late, and get through the henchbots to the deranged doctor himself and foil his evil plans once and for all.

Later on, as the player advances, they face against the various henchbots sent to protect the Mean Bean Machine. Eventually however, Robotnik, having realized that the player has defeated all of his henchbots, decides to use his dirty play and face against the player himself. In the end though, he is defeated, triggering a chain-reaction that destroys the Mean Bean Machine and frees all of the beans. In the middle of the commotion, the doctor escapes from [[Doctor Robotnik's Fortress|his fortress]] using his [[Egg-O-Matic (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Egg-O-Matic]].

After this, a short cutscene plays, presenting the characters to the player, before playing the credits of the game.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Sir-F-Fuzzy-Logik-Gameplay.png|thumb|left|225px|The player facing [[Sir Ffuzzy-Logik]] in Stage 10 of the Scenario Mode.]]
''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' is a puzzle game reminiscent of the ''[[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]'' games. The main gameplay takes place across two grid-based boards. The left board is used by the player, while the right board is used either by the game's computer or a second player. Otherwise, the right board will remain empty (depending on the mode).

The objective in ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' is to obtain as many [[point]]s as possible by grouping certain [[Bean (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Bean]]s together as they fall down on the board from the top in groups of two. One pair of Beans will fall each "turn". The Beans themselves come in five different colors: red, green, blue, yellow, and violet. The player must attempt to arrange the Beans into groups of at least four or more Beans in the same color; should they do this, the Beans in the group will disappear. Both boards are six Beans wide and thirteen Beans tall, meaning a board can hold a total of seventy-eight Beans. If the board gets filled up with Beans and the player becomes unable to move the next incoming pair of Beans, the game [[Game Over|ends]]. In a match between two contenders, the first to get a game over loses.

[[File:Bean-Art-VI-Dr-Robotniks-Mean-Bean-Machine.png|thumb|225px|Different-colored [[Bean (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Beans]] in one group. When the player drops down the light Bean block, the single Bean on the upper right will fall down separately.]]
While Bean blocks fall down, the player can move them left or right, rotate their block formation and speed up the Bean block's descend. If a Bean block is placed on a Bean formation so one Bean protrudes over an edge, said Bean will split off and continue its descend. Also, next to the boards on the center of the screen, players can see the next Bean block that will be deposited on their boards next. Occasional, the Bean blocks' dropping speed will suddenly increase temporarily. Even so, as the players work their way up, Beans will fall progressively faster.

When making a group of Beans disappear, other Beans stacked on top of them drop a level. The player can organize these Beans by placing Bean blocks conveniently close to each other, so when one group disappears, other similarly-colored Beans drop down together, thus triggering a chain reaction that cause another set of Beans to group and disappear, and so on. This will produce large chunks of points. When the player squares off another opponent (either another player or the CPU in Scenario Mode), each link in a chain reaction will cause transparent [[Bean (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)#Refugee Bean|Refugee Beans]] to be deposited in random places on the rival's board. These Beans cannot be connected like normal Beans and can only be eliminated by having them touch a cluster of disappearing colored Beans. The amount of Refugee Beans dumped depends on the length of the combo that created them; one group of Beans disappearing as a result of a chain reaction creates a single Refugee Bean, while multiple chain reactions produce large rows of Refugee Beans, hence the importance of planning large chain reactions. A player can attempt to send Refugee Beans to their opponent in order to frustrate their attempts to remove Beans.

===Scenario Mode===
'''Scenario Mode''' ("''Hitori de Puyo Puyo''" in ''{{Plain link|https://puyonexus.com/wiki/Puyo_Puyo_(1992)|Puyo Puyo}}'') is the basic arcade mode of the game. The mode consists of thirteen Stages, each with a different CPU-controlled opponent. Here, the difficulty and falling speed of [[Bean (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Beans]] increase with each Stage. Also, before each Stage, the opponent is given an introduction cutscene (which can be skipped by pressing '''START'''). Failing to beat the opponent will transport the player to the [[Continue]] screen where they have to decide on whether or not to try again within ten seconds. Refusing to try again results in a [[Game Over]]. In return, the Scenario Mode has an infinite amount of Continues.

To continue from a previously-cleared Stage, the Scenario Mode features a password system. Upon the completion of a Stage, the game gives the player a password consisting of four characters on the results screen, enabling them to start from that point in the game next time they play. Clearing all Stages makes the end credits roll. After that, the game will list all High Scores where the player can rack up their total score after clearing the Scenario Mode.

===1P VS. 2P Mode===
[[File:Dr-Robotniks-Mean-Bean-Machine-1P-VS-2P-Mode.png|thumb|225px|Difficulty levels in the 1P VS. 2P Mode.]]
'''1P VS. 2P Mode''' ("''Futari de Puyo Puyo''" in ''{{Plain link|https://puyonexus.com/wiki/Puyo_Puyo_(1992)|Puyo Puyo}}'') is the multiplayer component of ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' which two players can participate in. To play, both players must have their controllers connected to the Sega Mega Drive. From the start, players are given the choice between five difficulty levels: easiest, easy, normal, hard and hardest. Players can also challenge each other for multiple matches (the number of which can be set in the Options menu).

In gameplay, player one (1P) controls the left board while player two (2P) controls the right board. 1P's score is shown above the Score font on the middle of the screen while 2P's is displayed below it. The matches here are much like those in Scenario Mode; when one of the players get a Game Over, the match ends and the losing player has to press '''START''' in ten seconds to begin new match. The star ranks on the left and right side of the screen show the number of victories the respective player have.

===Exercise Mode===
'''Exercise Mode''' ("''Tokoton Puyo Puyo''" in ''{{Plain link|https://puyonexus.com/wiki/Puyo_Puyo_(1992)|Puyo Puyo}}'') is a separate mode for up to two players to participate in. Another player can join by pressing the '''START''' button. Here, players can practice their skills by choosing one of three difficult settings which include a score goal: easiest (no bonus), normal (40,000 extra [[point]]s) and hardest (90,000 extra points). For this mode, the player has to rank up enough points to be rewarded with certain bonus points for the chosen difficulty setting.

As the player receives points in Exercise Mode, the [[Bean (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Beans]]' falling speed increases. Additionally, this mode does not feature any [[Bean (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)#Refugee Bean|Refugee Beans]]. When the player is about to lose the game, two exclusive characters will appear on the board:
*'''[[Has Bean]]''': Hops across the player's board in random patterns, converting all the Beans he touches to one certain color.
*'''[[Big Bean]]''': A large green bean that falls straight to the bottom of the Board, erasing the two columns of Beans that are in its way.

When one of players loses, the player has to press '''START''' for a new match. If the player has gotten a recordable High Score, they can mark said score with three initials on the High Score Screen. This screen will appear if the player waits for ten seconds without pressing any buttons after losing.

===Options===
'''Options''' is the settings menu for ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine''. It holds the following options:
*'''Key Assignment''': The players can customize three different button functions ({{A Button (Sega Genesis)}}, {{B Button (Sega Genesis)}}, {{C Button (Sega Genesis)}}). Both player one and two have to use their own controllers to make these adjustments for themselves.
*'''VS COM Level''': The player can select one of four difficulty settings for the CPU opponents in Scenario Mode: Easy, Normal, Hard and Hardest.
*'''1P VS. 2P Mode''': The match count for the 1P VS. 2P Mode can be set here, with options including: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 or 15.
*'''Sampling''': The player can turn the sound effects during the gameplay on or off here.
*'''Input Test''': All the button settings on the player's controller can be tested here.

Back in October 1992, the arcade version of {{Nihongo|'''Puyo Puyo'''|ぷよぷよ|Puyo Puyo}} was developed by Compile and [[Sega|Sega AM1]] in Japan, which used characters from Compile's ''{{Plain link|https://puyonexus.com/wiki/Madou_Monogatari_123|Madou Monogatari}}'' video game series.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sega-interactive.co.jp/special/history/title/puyopuyo.html|title=SEGA ARCADE GAME HISTORY - ぷよぷよ|publisher=[[Sega|Sega Interactive]]|accessdate=2 September 2016|language=Japanese}}</ref> The [[Sega Mega Drive]] port for the original arcade game was released exclusively in Japan on 18 December 1992.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sega.jp/archive/segahard/md/soft.html|title=[セガハード大百科] メガドライブ対応ソフトウェア（セガ発売）|publisher=[[Sega]]|accessdate=2 September 2016|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120523211044/http://sega.jp/archive/segahard/md/soft.html|archivedate=23 May 2012|language=Japanese}}</ref> However, the game did not receive an international release until a year later, where it was released under the title ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' for the Sega Mega Drive.

The international version of the game was a conversion of the Mega Drive version of ''Puyo Puyo''.<ref>{{Cite book|title=[[Sonic the Comic]]|chapter=Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine|chapterurl=http://sost.emulationzone.org/dr_rmbm/scans/MeanBeanKnuxprower-111293-Preview.jpg|date=11 December 1993}}</ref> The game was localized, but also completely overhauled in terms of graphics and setting, and had nearly the entire cast from ''Puyo Puyo'' replaced with characters from the ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' television series. Most of the music tracks in ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' are also reused tracks from Masanobu Tsukamoto's and Einosuke Nagao's original composition for ''Puyo Puyo''. Many of these tracks were rearranged by Masanori Hikichi of Cube Corp. and [[Naofumi Hataya]].

''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' received generally positive reviews during its release. Gaming magazine ''[[Wikipedia:Mega (magazine)|Mega]]'' gave it a 90% score, calling it a "devilish addictive game which even haters of all things ''Sonic''-related will love."<ref name="Mega"/> ''[[Wikipedia:Sega Saturn Magazine|Sega Magazine]]'' also praised the game's multiplayer modes for being "excellent fun" and called it one of the best puzzle games available for the [[Sega Mega Drive]].<ref name="SegaMagazine"/>

In numerous re-releases and compilations, the game has received positive scores as well. Tom Bramwell of [[Wikipedia:Eurogamer|Eurogamer]] described the game in ''[[Sonic Mega Collection Plus]]'' as "pretty superfluous when the Mega Drive version's already in amongst the 16-bit Greatest Hits brigade."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bramwell|first=Tom|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_sonicmegacollectionplus_ps2|title=Sonic Mega Collection Plus review|publisher=[[Wikipedia:Eurogamer|Eurogamer]]|date=8 Febuary 2005 |accessdate=5 September 2016}}</ref> Fran Mirabella from [[Wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] described ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' in ''[[Sonic Mega Collection]]'' as a little diversity in the rest,<ref>{{Cite web|last=Mirabella|first=Fran|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2002/11/12/sonic-mega-collection|title=Sonic Mega Collection|publisher=[[Wikipedia:IGN|IGN]]|date=12 November 2002|accessdate=5 September 2016}}</ref> while Lucas M. Thomas said the game had aged well, especially in the audio department, during the review of the game's re-release for the [[Wii]]'s Virtual Console. Thomas also stated that "the differences between ''[[Wikipedia:Kirby's Avalance|Kirby's Avalanche]]'' and ''Dr. Robotnik''{{'}}s [Mega Drive] edition aren't major or important enough that fans should skip this."<ref name="IGN"/>

On the negative side, Jeremy Parish of [[Wikipedia:1Up.com|1Up.com]] claimed the game was a strange choice in the collection since its original incarnation, ''Puyo Puyo'', had been introduced in America during that time.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Parish|first=Jeremy|url=http://www.1up.com/reviews/sonic-mega-collection_3|title=Sonic Mega Collection Plus (PS2)|publisher=[[Wikipedia:1UP.com|1UP.com]]|date=29 November 2004|accessdate=5 September 2016}}</ref> Damien McFerran of [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Life|Nintendo Life]] stated the CPU in Scenario Mode was a "decent challenge but it's only fun for a while,"<ref name="Nintendolife"/> while Aaron Thomas of [[Wikipedia:Gamespot|GameSpot]] claimed the game mechanics were easy, but also that the game quickly got difficult after two levels.<ref name="Gamespot"/>

===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.

==Trivia==
*Along with ''[[Sonic Spinball]]'' (save for that [[Ian Flynn]] later went on to refer to it as being part of the established timeline<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjatMPDt_Cw&t=3002s</ref>), ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' marks the first video game in the ''Sonic'' series to not take place in the main series' universe. Instead, it is set in the ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' television series. References from the television show include:
**All of the opponents in the Scenario Mode, along with [[Scratch]], [[Grounder (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Grounder]] and [[Coconuts (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Coconuts]], appeared in the first episode of the television series, "[[Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad (episode)|Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad]]", where they were taken down by [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] one at the time.
**In each opponent's cutscene, [[Doctor Robotnik's Fortress]] (without the golden [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Robotnik]] statue) can be seen in the background. It is also seen during the game's ending.
**The [[Continue]] screen is based on a shot from the television series' [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog pilot|unaired pilot]].
*This game is notable for being one of three games in the entire ''Sonic'' franchise where Sonic the Hedgehog does not appear in person (the others being ''[[Tails Skypatrol]]'' and ''[[Tails Adventure]]'', though his likeness is used for an item in the latter). Not even the games manual mentions him. 
*The Beginner's course from ''{{Plain link|https://puyonexus.com/wiki/Puyo_Puyo|Puyo Puyo}}'' was removed in ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine''; however, the three stages can be accessed via hacking. When doing so, the ''Puyo Puyo'' characters Skeleton T, Nasu Grave, and Mummy are all visually replaced by a character with Coconuts' intro and Scratch's mugshots.
**Similarly, ''Puyo Puyo's'' [[Sound Test]] option was omitted, but it can still be accessed via hacking or by setting the game's region to Japanese.
[[File:MM27Cameos.png|thumb|150px|The Mean Bean-Steaming Machine cameo in [[Archie Comics]].]]
*In Scenario Mode, holding {{Directional Pad}} left/right on a second controller disables the CPU's ability to manually drop Beans; the effect is most pronounced against Frankly and Coconuts. This is a bug originating from the earliest version of the arcade ''Puyo Puyo'' that, despite being fixed in the more widespread version of the game, persisted in its English release and Mega Drive port.
*In the gameplay, Robotnik's eyes are a scorchy white colour and have a lack of visible pupils unlike in the show and the cover.
**A similar thing would however be carried over to the box art of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble]]'' where he is also depicted in this design.
*The game was given a subtle reference in [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 251|''Archie Sonic the Hedgehog'' #251]], when the motherboard titled "M.B.M." was sabotaged by [[Doctor Wily|Dr. Wily]]. Also, the Mean Bean-Steaming Machine can be seen in one panel in [[Archie Mega Man Issue 27|''Mega Man'' #27]].
*The gameplay of ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' appears in ''[[Sonic Mania]]'' and its expansion ''[[Sonic Mania Plus]]'' as both the [[Mean Bean Machine#Battle|boss]] of [[Chemical Plant Zone (Sonic Mania)|Chemical Plant Zone]] Act 2 and as a mini-game unlocked by obtaining [[Medal#Sonic Mania|Gold Medallions]] in the [[Bonus Stage (Sonic Mania)|Bonus Stages]]. The mini-game version can be played either against the CPU or another player.
*The [[Mean Bean Coffee Café]] from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (film)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' film is a reference to this game.
**In an early script of the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (film)|first]] ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (film series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' film, [[Doctor Robotnik (Paramount)|Dr. Robotnik]] owns a coffee machine named the "Mean Bean Machine".<ref name="MBM">{{Cite web |url=https://twitter.com/VanTheBrand/status/815288045494616064 |title=Van reveals one detail behind the scenes during production |work=@VanTheBrand |publisher=Twitter |date=31 December 2016 |accessdate=12 November 2019 |quote= '''Van Robichaux''': I wrote a scene where Eggman had a coffee maker labeled Mean Bean Machine, but that scene got cut and the machine with it. / '''Questionnaire''': that's really clever Van, why did it get cut / '''Van''': Don't remember why. Nothing to do with the scene just things get rearranged and certain pieces don't fit anymore.}}</ref>
