Sprite of Hasbeen.

Has Bean is the main character of both incarnations of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. According to the manual he was once an inhabitant of Beanville but was transformed into a robot with Dr. Robotnik's roboticizer. During the game he can be seen next to the score (Mega Drive version only), watching as the game commences. Despite the game's links to Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Has Bean has never appeared in the series.

It is of note that the instruction manual states that matching 4 beans together sends the Beans to the Mean Bean Machine, which then leads to what is called a "horrible fate". The instruction manual also states that he became "un-jolly" after being robotisized. This in combination with the fact that Has Bean is controlling the decent of the Beans in his dungeon means that he is essentially another henchman of Robotnik.

In the game he took the place of Carbuncle, the mascot of the Puyo Puyo (Puyo Pop) series. In the Puyo series, Carbuncle belonged to a girl named Arle, whom was constantly keeping him out of trouble.

Instruction Manual Description

Has Bean used to be one of the jollier beans in the village... Until Dr. Robotnik changed him into a robot. Usually he prefers to clown around on the sidelines, but he hasn't forgotten his humble past. Occasionally he'll drop into your dungeon and take a little walk. Any beans he walks over change to the same color and disappear.
