Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is a video game within the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. The game is a modified version of the Japanese puzzle game Puyo Puyo and has characters from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Dr. Robotnik has hatched a plan to ensure that no music or fun remains on Mobius. To do this, he kidnaps the citizens of Beanville and stuffs them into a giant robotising machine called the Mean Bean-Steaming Machine (hence the name, Mean Bean Machine), so that they become his robot slaves. The player must now defeat each of the robot guards and Robotnik himself to foil his evil plans.
