* KaizoTrap: Immediately jumping onto the flagpole or picking up the sword at the end of castle levels if often a bad sign, as something will leap on-screen or otherwise affect the level while you lose control of Syobon to the point where you can't finish the level.

* PoisonMushroom: Every PowerUp is this[[note]]except for one of the Mushrooms in Level 1, which has [[JokeItem no effect]][[/note]]- either they turn you into a hulking beast that's so powerful that you break through all solid ground and plummet to your doom, or they kill you on the spot.

* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: If you hit those blue with orange circle blocks (those who appeared in Super Mario World that gives you quotes), you can't close the textbox so you're completely stuck in it and you're forced to restart the game.

* {{Expy}}: Given that this is a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' parody, most enemies are expies of ''Mario'' enemies such as Goombas, Spinies, Thwhomps, and Bowser himself. Generally, they're cat-themed.

The game is considered very similar in gameplay to VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy, but not as brutal on the difficulty. The game has also garnered a number of unofficial sequels, such as ''Syobon Action 2''.

The game has become fairly popular for [[LetsPlay Let's Players]] on Website/YouTube because the extreme difficulty of the game causes players to die repeatedly, often causing rage, fail, hilarity, or some combination of those.

Syobon Action (also known as Cat Mario,[[note]]Completely unrelated to the real Cat Mario from ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld''[[/note]] Neko Mario, Dongs.exe, and Shobon no Akushon) is a Japanese PlatformHell freeware game developed by "Chiku". It basically takes ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' 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.

* FanSequel: There are many "sequels" to this game out there, and some have difficulty that far exceeds the original's. Their quality varies.

* OneLastTrap: The levels usually end in [[KaizoTrap Kaizo Traps]].

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:The Bowser {{Expy}} and poison mushroom at the end of the last level. Either one kills you, but eventually you'll figure out that you're supposed to use the mushroom to kill "Bowser" instead... but, if you do so, all that does is lead you straight into one last unavoidable KaizoTrap in the form of a giant chicken man standing in for Toad. 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.]]

* SpikesOfDoom: Quite a few of these lying around.

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Not only is EverythingTryingToKillYou, but you will be dying constantly in many different ways. As soon as you avoid one trap, you often fall right into the next.

* TheyKilledKennyAgain: And again, and again, and again...

** The music in the game is taken from ''[[VideoGame/{{Action52}} The Cheetahmen]]'', ''VideoGame/{{Spelunker}}'', ''VideoGame/GhostsAndGoblins'', and ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo''.

* DeathIsCheap: You start the level with two liVes, but after you lose them, in your life counter will appear [[MeaninglessLives negative numbers showing the times you die]], so you can try all the times you want. [[TrialAndErrorGameplay You will need it]].

* OneHitPointWonder: You die in one hit from anything.
