Sonic and the not-so-mean Bean
I always thought you were playing as that small bean in the bottom center of the screen in Mean Bean Machine. The idea being Sonic can't solve this problem, so it's up to the smarter and more technically intelligent bean to save their/his/her own people (beans!) from Robotnik's horrible experiment. Sonic would've gotten bored by the puzzle.
You are talking about Has Bean, the more sunkissed variant of Carbuncle, the former pet of Satan.
The Puyo Nexus page apparently describes him as a former bean person who was turned into a robot and escaped. The Puyo Nexus suggests Has Bean helps the player from the sidelines, but Sonic Retro confirms it's unknown whether you are playing as Has Bean or if he simply provides aid.
Has Bean strikes me more of a cheerleader type. He counts down the start of a round, and doesn't really seem to be in control of or effected by the outcome too much. He doesn't even get sad when you lose. If he reacted more, maybe I'd consider him for the player character. But I don't personally believe it.
Made this useful diagram for all the new Puyo Puyo fans as I see they are confused as to why Carbuncle has had slight redesigns over the years! I hope this helps!
Would Has Bean from Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine have a Solosis?
Yes, they would
No, they would not
see results :3
Please reblog for larger sample size :)
Propaganda : Solosis looks a lot like the beans from Beanville
Hey, does anyone remember that episode of AoStH that adapted the plot of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Has Bean showed up?
Just kidding of course! These are just silly edits!
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (1993)
It's time for the first character doodle! Has Bean may have been eliminated, but the people of Beanville still thought they deserved a celebration
