frustratingly both really fun and too difficult and luck dependent for me to really get into. the game does a REALLY good job at making you want to beat it, though, by making the enemy robots look like the stupidest fucking assholes. make no mistake: they fucked your girlfriend AND your mother and have FULL intentions of continuing to do so. you just NEED to destroy them so bad and every time you lose they snicker right at your face and would probably start teabagging you if this was a different kind of game.

Made entirely obsolete by basically any subsequent Puyo Puyo game. Without offset or other key mechanics that came to the series later (such as double tapping rotate to flip your puyos even if they don't have room to rotate), victory in the arcade mode becomes very dependent on luck.
I have too strong feelings about American Sega's apparent need during the 90s to project their own (entirely ill-defined) fan-fictionesque personality, worldbuilding, and character designs onto Sonic, and while this game serves as a key example of that, that feels like a rant ill-suited for a review of the game itself.

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is Sega of America's western answer to Puyo Puyo. It's got a fun style with the AOSTH Eggman design and robots. The Game Gear version is funny, but both are good ways to experience Puyo Puyo. The Game Gear version has the Puyo actually look like beans too and that's a cool hardware limitation affect.
i just managed to convince my brother to stop playing Kirby's Avalanche (as retold here ) after 3 hours. we decided to play Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine because it had a funny name. one could only imagine my horror and my brothers hysterical joy when we realised Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Avalanche are both the exact same recoloured Puyo Puyo game but for for Genesis instead of SNES. i cant escape it.
A puyo puyo game with a reskin based on the adventure of sonic the hedgehog cartoon. It is a great vs puzzle game with a very high skill cap. Probably my favorite puzzle game series of all time. This isn't the best version of puyo puyo out there, but it is still one of the puzzle games on the genesis.
