ThePork Bean (Japanese:ポークビーンPork Bean) is a method of transportation that is used mainly byPigmasks. It can be entered with theA Button and parked with theB Button.

InMother 3

The Pork Bean is both faster than running and defeats any enemy that it runs into. It is first featured inChapter 3, whereSalsa andFassad use this to reachTazmily Village through theCandrum Underpass.

InChapter 5

The Pork Bean receives an expanded role in Chapter 5, whereLucas rides one to traverse the expansiveHighway. The first one Lucas is given by aPigmask is crashed when it slips on a banana peel left by Fassad. ThePork Trooper, mistaking Lucas for thePigmask Commander, allows Lucas to use his Pork Bean, before recognizing him and challenging him to a fight. This Pork Bean, however, is low on batteries, and must be recharged quickly after it is obtained. If the player does not do this, the Pork Bean eventually runs out of power and stops moving. To recharge the Pork Bean, a self-service Pork Bean Recharge Station is used, located on the northern area of the Highway. It is operated by placing the Pork Bean on a plate, and pressing the A Button at the proper time, which is indicated by a short tone. If the player does the recharge incorrectly, the Pork Bean will break down, rendering it unusable. Another broken Pork Bean can be found in the garbage dump along the Highway.

InChapter 7

After rescuing theMr. Saturn from thePigmask Army, Lucas can ride aMr. Saturn-shaped Pork Bean, which is functionally identical to the regular Pork Bean.
