There is an option to play against a Human Player, but there is a CPU difficulty option, between Lv.1-5. There isn't anything to really get, aside from the Act 2 Boss trophy of getting a 3+ combo if you haven't gotten it already. Easier to start the minigame over and over, than having to play through Chemical Plant each time to try and get the achievement.

Btw is mean beam machine even worth it, like is it different levels or just that same chemical plant boss?

Ragingrush, you have to do the code while sonic is coming up until he starts waging his finger.
