Tetton Daimajin is a robot controlled by King Tetris that only appeared in the Super Mario Land 2 manga.
It is a combination of King Tetris' UFO, which makes the robot's head; the mushroom building where the UFO stands and that was used as a screen for Mario's challenge, which forms the body, while the limbs, crotch, and chest are made by Tetriminos, some of which are the transformed Toad Town citizens. The robot also wears a giant wrestler belt, with Comic Bonbon logo on it.
After Mario wins the challenge, saving the city from the threat of multiple nuclear explosions, King Tetris decides to detonate the bombs anyway, but after discovering the bombs were disarmed, he calls back the Tettoman and assorbs the Tetriminos to the UFO and building to create the Tetton Daimajin. When completed, the heroes laugh at its appearance, but King Tetris punish them by turning the Princess into a 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-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 comes 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.
