Has Bean

Has Bean is the main character in both 16-bit and 8-bit versions of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. He's was a Bean and former inhabitant of the Beanville before being transformed into a robotic being with Dr. Robotnik's roboticizer.

Appearance
Has Bean has dark orange color scheme with long bunny-like ears, point-like eyes and mouth. Also, his forehead has small red mark.

Overview
According to instruction manuals, Has Bean originally was one of jollier Beans in the Beanville village. At one point, Dr. Robotnik has managed to capture him and turn him into a robotic being. Even if he prefers to clown around, Has Bean hasn't forgotten his past.

During the Scenario Mode of Sega Genesis version, Has Bean is found seen standing next to the score counter, while watching the action on both boards and doing random things. He's also found watching the gameplay in 1P VS. 2P Mode as well. However in Exercise Mode, Has Bean (or Big Bean) is ready to step into the action, when the player is about to loose the game. He will start Hopping across the player's board in random patterns, as doing this converts all the Beans on his way into one certain color scheme, that can make long string of same colored Beans disappear and possibly create chain reactions on the board with other Bean groups.
