So, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is basically Puyo Puyo with a Sonic makeover—which honestly works way better than it should. Instead of colorful blobs, you're dropping beans (because Eggman loves beans, apparently?), trying to chain combos while the AI throws increasingly chaotic patterns at you.

First few matches feel familiar if you've played any falling-block puzzler, but then Robotnik's goons start pulling off ridiculous five-chain reactions out of nowhere. The difficulty spikes hard around the third or fourth opponent—I remember getting wrecked by that smug purple bean guy more times than I'd like to admit.

It's got that classic '90s Sega charm, complete with weirdly intense close-ups of Robotnik laughing at your failures. If you dig competitive puzzle games with a side of absurd villainy, this one's a solid time capsule.
