This is a review of the basic single player mode patch only. I'm sure the other two patches are great, but the single player patch is the icing on the cake as most people are gonna play this game against the computer.
I adore any hack or patch that makes a game easier and that's exactly what this patch does.
This is an interesting patch that gives the 1 player single mode against the game more firepower against the opponent robots. Every 20,000 points scored instantly levels up the single player mode making it so with every chain made, more dungeon beans drop down in your opponents court, the more chains in a row, the more dungeon beans for your opponent and eventually as your score goes higher, the difficulty curve eases more and more and it actually gets easier towards the end of the game (providing you don't lose a go) once you continue, your score resets back to zero and everything reverts back to default level and you have to start your level grades up once again by scoring every 20,000 points.
I'm an experimental person when it comes to downloading patches and I found that this patch by BillyTimeGames! Works with the (Beans Are Memes RadioTails v3.4 2024 DX Edition) hack giving that hack an extra feature.
Also really appreciate the removal of the regional lockout screen on the 3 USA patches in the ZIP file which now turns the ROM into a World ROM so everybody can enjoy it.
Always adore Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine patches. 5 out of 5 stars.
