Tetton Daimajin is a robot controlled by King Tetris that only appears in the Super Mario Land 2 volume of the Super Mario Kodansha manga series. It is a combination of King Tetris' UFO, which serves as the robot's head; the mushroom building where the UFO stands that was used as a screen for Mario's challenge, which forms the body; and Tetriminos (some of which are the transformed Toad Town citizens), which make up the limbs, pelvis, and chest. The robot also wears a giant wrestler belt with the Comic BomBom mascot on it.
After Mario wins King Tetris' challenge, saving the city from the threat of multiple nuclear explosions, the king decides to detonate the bombs anyway, but after discovering the bombs were disarmed, he calls back the Tettoman and absorbs the Tetriminos into the UFO and building to create the Tetton Daimajin. When completed, the heroes laugh at its appearance, but King Tetris punishes them by turning Princess Peach into an actual peach. Mario first tries to use the Sky Pop II to take down the robot, but gets distracted and almost squashed by it when a picture of Princess Daisy showing off her leg is displayed on the body's screen. Luigi saves him via pole-vaulting and they both land in the Tetton's head, where King Tetris offers a new challenge. During the last match, the citizens trapped in the Tetriminos that form the Tetton Daimajin come to aid Mario, granting him a victory. Furious for losing, King Tetris tries to kill Mario, but Peach deflects his spell back to him with her mirror. With his defeat, the Tetton Daimajin comes crumbling down and all transformed victims return to normal.
