* DeathByGenreSavviness: The player, assuming that he/she is familiar with the general gameplay of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', will die over and over again precisely because the entire game is devoted to [[WrongGenreSavvy subverting that Genre Savviness]] and killing you. For example, that pipe that ''should'' lead to a secret area? Kills you. That star that ''should'' make you invincible? Kills you. That invisible block that ''should'' contain a 1-up mushroom? Contains poison mushrooms and kills you.
* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Nearly every possible route through the levels was foreseen by the developers, and then all but one of those routes were all filled with unavoidable death traps to limit the player to using only a single precise route. For example, in the fourth level, there's a place where you needs to jump over a lava pit. Jump too close to the ledge? You hit an invisible block. Try to jump onto that invisible block and ''then'' jump over the lava pit? The invisible cloud kills you.

To beat the game, forget about "Bowser" and the poison mushroom and instead let the throwing enemy carry you above the level, allowing you to bypass "Bowser" and "Toad" and find the real ending.]]

Syobon Action (also known as Cat Mario, Neko Mario, and Shobon no Akushon) is a Japanese PlatformHell freeware game that takes basically takes Super Mario Bros. and cranks the difficulty UpToEleven. It has tons of cruel deaths, [[EverythingTryingToKillYou from platforms falling immediately when touched, to being shot out of pipes, to the freaking clouds killing you]]. In addition to having a lot of skill, a player must memorize the only safe way to get through the level and avoid all of the many death traps.
There are a total of three Syobon Action games. They are very similar in gameplay to VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy.
The game has become fairly popular for [[LetsPlay Let's Players]] on YouTube because the extreme difficulty of the game causes players to die repeatedly, often causing rage, fail, hilarity, or some combination of those.

!!This game provides examples of:
* BlackComedy: Many seemingly harmless objects in the game can kill you, and there are horribly creative death traps everywhere.
* BloodlessCarnage: No blood or gore, although you die over and over.
* CatsAreMean: Inverted. Everything is trying to kill the poor cat. And I mean EVERYTHING.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Even the clouds want you dead.
* FakeDifficulty: A lot of the difficulty comes from all of the traps.
* LetsPlay: This is a popular game to watch Let's Players play. More often than not, HilarityEnsues.
* MegaNeko: The cat may be one of these - he's the same size as Mario would be.
* PlatformHell: And how!
* RuleOfFunny: Your life counter before you start playing starts at x2 lives... and after losing your "last life," it will go infinitely into negative numbers. Many players die hundreds of times.
* ShoutOut: The game is a parody of the old Super Mario Bros. games.
* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Not only is EverythingTryingToKillYou, but you will be dying constantly. As soon as you avoid one trap, you often fall right into the next.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: And again, and again, and again...
* TrialAndErrorGameplay: Players need to memorize what will kill them and safe routes to get around everything deadly. Some of the puzzles require some trial and error, too.
* ViolationOfCommonSense: And you thought that clouds, pipes, flagpoles, and floors were harmless....
