Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is a puzzle game for the Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System. It is similar to its 16-bit counterpart for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis, but contains an additional Puzzle Mode that is not present in the Mega Drive version. This version was included as an unlockable game in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, and later as a default game in the compilation Sonic Mega Collection Plus.
For information on the storyline and gameplay common to both versions of the game, see the article about the 16-bit version.

Puzzle Mode / Nazo Puyo
The Puzzle Mode unique to this version requires the player to solve increasingly difficult puzzle challenges. It was the precursor to the Nazo Puyo series: Game company Compile later went on to create sole Nazo Puyo games, of which two were exclusive to the Super Nintendo Entertainment system, and one to the Game Gear until it was included in other releases (including Puyo Puyo Tsu for Windows 95).
