Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine Gameplay
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine is a puzzle game reminiscent of the Tetris games. The entirety of gameplay takes place across two grid-based boards: the left board is used by the player, while the right board is controlled by either artificial intelligence or a second player, depending on the game mode. The main objective of the game is to earn as many points as possible by grouping the same coloured beans together as they fall down on the board.
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. The player drops pairs of beans into the dungeons, trying to create groups of four in matching colors. He or she must challenge Dr. Robotnik’s robots to a battle and defeat them, and eventually face the Eggman himself.
