Bean the Dynamite

Bean the Dynamite (ビーン・ザ・ダイナマイト, Bīn za Dainamaito) is a green duck in the game Sonic the Fighters, also known in Japan as Sonic Championship.

Bean likes to throw bombs at his enemies, and seems to have an endless supply of them (it is believed that he has the comical ability to instantly manifest any type of explosive). Comically, they are all cherry bombs. The character was modeled after Bin and Pin, two characters in the arcade game Dynamite Dux. He has also starred in Fighters Megamix, along with Bark the Polarbear, and made a cameo in Virtua Striker 2 where Bean is featured in an unlockable team. When Sonic Riders was being produced, many fans mistook Jet the Hawk for Bean due to their similar color schemes.

He and Bark appear in issue #160 of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic where Bean jumps out of the 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. Like Bark, he used to be part of a mercenary band led by Nic the Weasel.
