Description official descriptions

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is a version of Puyo Puyo with a storyline involving characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. The evil Dr. Robotnik decides to turn the citizens of Beanville into robots. It's up to the player to save them from their doom.

He or she must challenge Dr. Robotnik's robots to a battle and defeat them, and eventually face the Eggman himself.

Trivia

Development

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is actually a conversion by Compile of their game Puyo Puyo for the U.S. market. In 1995 there was also a Puyo Puyo conversion released for the SNES called Kirby's Avalanche.

Similar to how Sonic Spinball features cameos from DiC's Sonic the Hedgehog series, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is largely based on characters and aesthetics of companion series Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
