How to unlock the Triple Trouble achievement

    Mean Bean mode is unlocked by getting gold (or silver) medallions - the exact number is unclear. You can see my guide for unlocking those for the following achievement:

    Sonic ManiaNo Way? No Way!The No Way? No Way! achievement in Sonic Mania worth 492 pointsCollect gold medallions in Blue Spheres Bonus stage

    The boss of Chemical Plant Act 2 is also this minigame, so you can earn it in either version of the game.

    The minigame is actually Puyo Puyo Tetris (or, well, the Puyo Puyo part of it). It was also a classic 16bit (or 8bit?) game. This is a very popular game in Japan that's slowly gaining some cult popularity here. It's very close to Tetris. You'll get colored blobs in groups of two and need to match them in a group of four to eliminate them. It's pretty simple once you see it in action.

    A 3 chain combo is where you pop 4, then another 4, then another 4 all in one action. This isn't incredibly hard to set up, but how you do it depends on what pieces fall. You can see me earning it in the video below:

    OG ShadowBoaThis won't unlock for me for some reason, really annoying as I have had multiple 3 or more chains

    BeijingyThere was also a great SNES version of this Puyo-inspired game: Kirby's Avalanche!

    JoeyPajamasI can not get this to work. Tried so many times but I can never get the colours i need. Perhaps my brain is just too small...

    This can be attained either playing against the boss of Chemical Plant Act 2 or Mean Bean Mode found under the Extras section (unlocks once you collect 21 Silver Medallions).

    To create a 3 chain combo place 3 different coloured sets of beans into groups of 3 on top of each other on one side of the grid. Then place 2 of the colours on the very top so that it will cascade if a row is removed.
