How to Play Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Quick start
Start with Scenario mode and build pairs horizontally or vertically without filling the centre columns too high. Rotate each falling pair so matching colours touch; a group of four or more clears, and chain reactions send more nuisance beans to the opponent than a single clear. Keep one side open as an escape column, stack two or three colours in a planned staircase, then trigger the bottom group to cascade. Clear nuisance beans by removing a coloured group directly beside them.
Controls
D-pad Left/Right: move the falling pair; Down: soft-drop it faster. A or C: rotate the pair clockwise. B: rotate counter-clockwise. Start: pause. Four or more connected beans of one colour disappear. Adjacent nuisance beans clear with that group, chains send attacks, and losing occurs when the central spawn area is blocked.
