Big Beanie is an enlarged Mame-san that appears as the World 1 boss in Yoshi's New Island. He takes the form of a giant beanstalk, while his main component is a large chili pepper-shaped bean pod growing on the top of the plant.
History[edit]
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
In Yoshi's New Island, after Blue Yoshi reaches the top of Big Beanie's Castle, Kamek uses his hammer to turn a Mame-san into a giant beanstalk that grows over the ceiling and into the sky. Big Beanie sprouts on top and, once Blue Yoshi reaches him, the battle begins.
Big Beanie attacks by spitting out Mame-san from his mouth, which can provide Blue Yoshi with eggs. When he is hit, Big Beanie turns red, raises an indestructible spiked beanstalk in front of him that prevents Blue Yoshi from damaging him in this state, and summons more spiked beanstalks from below that hurt Blue Yoshi upon contact. Eventually, Big Beanie turns green again and the spiked beanstalk retracts back through the clouds and is replaced with a normal beanstalk that shares the same function of protecting him; however, it can be destroyed by eggs, which allows Blue Yoshi to hit him again. Upon turning green after being hit a second time, two normal beanstalks as opposed to just one are raised to protect Big Beanie, and he is defeated if the player repeats this process once more.
With his defeat, Big Beanie drops a key that allows access to World 2.
Super Mario-kun Gekijō - Yoshi New Island[edit]
Big Beanie is the main antagonist of chapter 3 of Super Mario-kun Gekijō - Yoshi New Island. He snatches away Baby Mario from Yoshi's back, and when the Ukiki ally tries to rescue him, he is eaten by the boss and spit back out as a Mame-san. As Yoshi tries to eat the boss with his tongue, Big Beanie covers it in extra-spicy wasabi. To recover himself, Yoshi drinks a lot of water and, after taking a fire watermelon, ends up spitting out boiling water that cooks and defeats Big Beanie, who is then eaten by the protagonists.
