'Tuper Tario Tros.' Combines 'Tetris,' Mario, and Frustration

We're sure you've stopped and thought to yourself before, "You know, 'Super Mario Bros.' is pretty good, but I sure wish it was more frustrating." No? Well, it doesn't matter. Even if you've never asked for someone to create a hybrid of 'Super Mario Bros.' and 'Tetris,' you're getting it, anyway. And the results are wonderfully, and childishly, called 'Tuper Tario Tros.'

In this Flash game, you play the little Italian plumber we've all come to know and love -- smashing bricks, collecting coins, stomping on Goombas. But there's a twist. Occasionally, you'll have to switch from 'Mario' mode to 'Tetris' mode, and drop those familiarly shaped blocks so that our suspenders-wearing hero can hop on them. And as if the DIY level layouts weren't enough, the screen progresses left to right of its own accord; fail to move swiftly, and the edge of the screen will catch up with Mario, prematurely ending his quest to save the Princess.

Then, just to rub salt in the wounds of your frustration, the first level (And possibly the rest. We can't seem to beat it.) ends with you attempting to construct a castle from Tetris shapes, while constantly switching modes to fend off Goombas. Fun! Masochists will want to hit up the source link below. [From: Newgrounds.com]
