Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is the English adaptation of Puyo Puyo for Sega consoles based off the cartoon Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Story

Dr. Robotnik has hatched a plan to ensure that no music or fun remains on Mobius. To do this, he kidnaps the citizens of Beanville and stuffs them into a giant robotising machine called the Mean Bean-Steaming Machine, so that they become his robot slaves. The player must now defeat each of the robot guards and Robotnik himself to foil his evil plans.

Stages

Unlike Puyo Puyo, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine gives you a password after each stage so you can continue (or start) from any point in the story mode. There are 13 stages:

Easy levels

• Arms - A weak red UFO shaped badnik with long stretchy arms. Plays like Draco Centauros.
• Frankly - A purple macho bot who likes to smile. Plays like Suketoudara, and shakes the board like Zoh Daimaoh.
• Humpty - A shy robot based off Humpty Dumpty, who will peel at the bandage on his face when worried. Plays like Sukiyapodes.
• Coconuts - A monkey who claims to be Robotnik's favorite robot, but is always put on sanitation duty. Plays like Harpy.

Normal levels

• Davy Sprocket - A pioneer-based bot who's always searching for trouble and adventure. Plays like Sasoriman.
• Skweel - A snobby pig on wheels who's a literal road hog, arguably the most hated. Plays like Panotty.
• Dynamight - A TNT–based badnik with an "explosive" personality. Plays like Zombie.
• Grounder - Driller badnik that's one of the main characters in cartoon and not very smart. Plays like Witch.

Hard levels

• Spike - A fat rebellious robot who insults fellow badniks. Plays like Zoh Daimaoh, though he doesn't shake the board like Frankly and Dragon Breath.
• Sir Ffuzzy-Logik - A scary-looking knight who carries a trident. Plays like Schezo Wegey, which is odd since they're both old fashion warriors.
• Dragon Breath - A reptile bot who teases or holds rivalry toward Ffuzzy-Logik, they could be possibly be friends though. Plays like Minotaur.
• Scratch - A chicken who is also a major character in the cartoon and is Robotnik's right-hand badnik. Plays like Rulue.

Final level

• Dr. Robotnik - The demented doctor himself. Plays like Satan.
