Pink Bean
Adorable. Fun-loving. Fiercely powerful. When Pink Bean isn't busy fighting the heroes of Maple World, he likes to fill his days zipping around in his kart.
In-game description
Pink Bean is a character in KartRider: Drift. His default outfit, "MapleStory", has been available in the shop for 1,500 K-COINs since Season 1.
Summary
Pink Bean was first introduced as an endgame boss in MapleStory with the release of the Temple of Time, where the wizard Kirston accidentally summoned the rotund creature instead of the Black Mage. During the fight, Pink Bean would spend most of the time goofing off, lounging with a drink, listening to music on headphones, and various other frivolous activities unrelated to the fight, but was nonetheless able to provide a great challenge to his opponents. When defeated, Pink Bean did not die, but rather retreated back to his own dimension.
His cute design and mannerisms endeared him to the players of MapleStory, and he would eventually be made into a mascot for the game, with events themed around him and even made playable (temporarily, at least).
He was also notably one of the first bosses in MapleStory to use the Damage Reflect buff, turning the damage Maplers would try to inflict on him back toward his attackers, hence why it was added as his Character Skill here in KartRider: Drift.
Character Skill
Pink Bean's character skill is Attack Reflection. Every 32/31/30/29/28 seconds, Pink Bean gains a special shield for 10 seconds that reflects the first Missile or Water Wisp targeted at him back toward his attacker.
