The '''Tettoman'''<ref>{{File link|KC Mario original characters.jpg}}</ref> are seven superhero-like [[Tetris Ningen]] that work for [[King Tetris]] in the ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Super Mario]]'' Kodansha manga. Each of them has a muscular human body in a {{wp|Superman}}-like suit and cape, complete with a "T" initial on the chest: for the head, each Tettoman has a different {{wp|tetromino|Tetrimino}}, with a mouth and a five-o'clock shadow.

In ''[[Super Mario Land 2 (manga)|Super Mario Land 2]]'', they appear in the second part of the volume where King Tetris returns to Earth and releases Tetriminos on [[Toad Town]], which reveal the Tettoman inside each standing on a nuclear bomb: if [[Mario]] fails the King's challenge, the Tettoman will detonate the bombs. [[Luigi]] manages to buy some time for Mario; while he trains at the [[Areku Hakase Tetris Genshō Kenkyūjo]], the Tettoman remain on the bombs for the entire day and night. The next day, Mario wins the challenge, but the king decides to detonate the bombs anyway, but due to [[Dr. Areku]]'s help, the bombs are disarmed. Furious, King Tetris calls the Tettoman and the other Tetriminos to him to form the [[Tetton Daimajin]]. During the final battle, the Tettoman help the king by trying to keep the rows of Tetriminos from filling the king's screen, but are stopped by the citizens of Toad Town and squashed into the screen ceiling.

In ''[[Super Mario Land 3 (manga)|Super Mario Land 3]]'', the Tettoman briefly appear in the beginning of the ''{{wp|Ice Hockey (1988 video game)|Ice Hockey}}'' story, where they reproduce a message from the returning King Tetris in the sky for Mario, Luigi, and [[Princess Peach]] to see.
