Tetris Mario is an original transformation thatMario andWario take inSuper Mario-kun. In this form, which they can take by wearing a T-Tetrimino like a hat, they can execute a move calledTetris Flash that can zap away rows of blocks and debris.
In the bonus chapter ofSuper Mario-kunVolume 9, Wario takes this form after destroying an underwater rock. HisGoomba companion makes him notice that the rock debris are blocking their path, so Wario grabs a T-Tetrimino and executes a Tetris Flash to remove them. Afterward, in trying to pass through the rock passage, his Tetrimino headgear gets stuck in the narrow passage, forcing him to remove it.
In chapter 9 ofSuper Mario-kunVolume 10, Wario traps Mario,Yoshi, andChirako in a pit and starts dropping Tetriminos. If they get trapped under them, they become frozen. After Yoshi and Chirako are freeze-trapped by the Tetriminos, Mario finds a T-Tetrimino with aSuper Star inside it and, with a more powerful "Tetris Star Flash", is able to remove all the Tetriminos, free his friends and escape the pit. Wario flies away on hisBulldog and Mario tries to zap him, but misses and provokes an avalanche that sends him and his friends back to theMushroom Kingdom.
