Bean likes to throw bombs at his enemies, and seems to have an endless supply of them (it is believed that he has the ability to instantly manifest any type of explosives, although he only shows the ability to create small, round black bombs).

Template:CharacterSheet Bean the Dynamite (ビーン・ザ・ダイナマイト) is an anthropomorphic green duck who debuted in the 1996 Sega Model 2 arcade game, Sonic the Fighters.

As was the case with fellow combatant, Bark the Polar Bear, Bean appears to have been created specifically with Sonic the Fighters in mind. He wears a red neckerchief, as well as the obligatory gloves and shoes, and is fought in Dynamite Plant. Bean is widely assumed to be some sort of explosives expert, as he has the ability to craft bombs (out of thin air) and is referred to as "dynamite" in his name (breaking the Sonic tradition in which characters are usually named after their species).

Bean is a Sega AM2 invention with roots outside of the Sonic universe, being derived from the 1988 Sega System 16 arcade game Dynamite Dux, in which two anthropomorphic ducks named Bin and Pin fight through screens of enemies with an array of weapons (including throwable black bombs). Dynamite Dux pre-dates the original Sonic the Hedgehog by three years.

Bean has not appeared as a main character in a Sonic the Hedgehog game since 1996, although is unloackable in the Sega Saturn game, Fighters Megamix (which brings together a number of Sega AM2-made fighting games, among other novelty characters). His alternative costume in this game is one which makes the character resemble Bin from Dynamite Dux.

Sonic the Fighters (Sonic Championships)

Bean the Dynamite makes his debute in Sonic the Fighters, as one of the fastest characters in the game. He shows signs of hyper activity by using quick jerky actions like the terrific peck and a super quick windup punch. Throwing a tantrum when he loses, and looking toward the camera before each match, as well as making gestures of overconfidence, one can see that Bean very much loves to win, and may do anything necessary to do it! For moves, Bean can quickly peck his opponent many times in a row (although this can be ducked under). He throws and even kicks round black bombs at his opponent, which seem to come from hammer space. Although many of Bean's moves are weak, he may be even faster than Sonic is, making him potentially difficult to beat in the right hands. Bean is the holder of the Seventh green chaos emerald and seems to use it's power to go into hyper mode. while in hyper mode, Bean can perform his hyper technique: the Bean Warp. This move allows him to warp close to, or directly behind his opponent, in a similar fashion to chaos control. Bean is the seventh opponent that the player must defeat in order to reach Death Egg II and obtain the seventh emerald. He is fought at dynamite plant, a course outside of a bomb factory of sorts. The course features an Oil Ocean Zone like background, which might have inspired the new course.


He has also starred in Fighters Megamix, along with Bark the Polar Bear, and has made a cameo appearance in Virtua Striker 2 Ver 2000.1

Other Appearances

Archie

He and Bark appear in issue #160 of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic. During which, Bean jumps out of a window after Fiona Fox's keys, and is later knocked out by Shadow the Hedgehog. He also made a cameo in the series' 50th issue as well as on the cover of the series' 51st cover. Like Bark, he used to be part of a mercenary band led by Nack the Weasel. He is also known to be very annoying to Sonic.

He also appears in the Treasure Team Tango Arc (Issue #21 - Issue #24) on Team Hooligan (Nack the Weasel, Bean, and Bark) trying to steal the Sol Emerald from Team Rose. When his Team is ambushed by Team Babylon (end of Issue #22), he finds Jet and reunites with Jet the Hawk (Issue #23) and asks Jet for photos.

Working for Mogul

Bean, along with Bark, Nack, and the Destructix would later be officially hired by Mogul to "steal" Sonic's shoes (with or without Sonic's feet still in them). All the while, Bean kept on admiring a shiny spoon, while the others talked business. Outside of Freedom HQ, Bean and Bark ambushed Sonic and Sally Acorn. Sally was able to distract Bean by getting him to notice how shiny one of his bombs was, causing him to clutch it in awe until it exploded. Afterwards, the Destructix began to attack Sonic while Bean and Bark watched, Bean cheering on the Destructix. Sally quickly told Bean and Bark she would pay them double whatever Mogul offered to help Sonic (Bean was intrigued, thinking the payment could possibly include cupcakes). Bean and Bark accepted and started helping Sonic fight against their former allies. When Bean and Bark failed to protect Sonic, they decided to go back to Mogul's side and returned to the Casino Night Zone with the Destructix while Nack stayed behind to finish off Sally. While at the casino's new kitchen, the Bottom of the Barrel Bar 'n' Grill, Bean kept pestering Sonic with odd questions about Sally and their "future children," which ended up thoroughly creeping Sonic out. However, after Sally, Amy, and Geoffrey St. John showed up and freed Sonic, Bean was then slid along a nearby table by Sonic, to which Bean enjoyed the experience with glee. Afterwards, Bean and Bark were not seen again, and it is assumed they came to, were paid by Mogul, and left the casino.

Virtua Striker 2

Bean appeared as a member of the MVP Yuki Chan team, a secret team in Virtua Stiker 2, the second installment in Sega's popular arcade soccer series released in 1997.
