Cat Mario 3 is not a successor of the fan-made small indie game Super Mary Cat or Syobon Action (AKA: しょぼんのアクション) developed by Chiku from Japan in 2007, both of which were totally inspired from a Flash game – The Life-Ending Adventure (AKA: 人生オワタの大冒険, The Big Adventure of Owata’s Life). It was developed. Syobon Action, also known as Cat Mario and Mario from Hell, is a 2D Japanese platform freeware indie video game released in February 2007.

Inaccuracy Removed[edit]

'which results in required death.'

It is possible to activate this block and not die/progress through. It's hard but you can jump between them when they fall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.85.4.179 (talk) 12:05, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Is this true?[edit]

'Many who have played the game for the first time could not make it past the first level.'

I think that's a bit of an overstatement. I finished the game on my first try (after lots of deaths apparently but still) and a friend of mine who started playing at the same time gave up somewhere on the 3rd level I think. Also, the first level is really trial and error, none of the really tough puzzles are in it. So can anyone cite an real statistics or something for this? 91.140.22.88 (talk) 17:21, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I recall playing this game quite a while a go, and didn't give up on the first go. Sure I died several times at least, but I've beaten the stage, even the game as a matter of fact. So to say that 'Many who have played the game for the first time could not make it past the first level.' is, in my view, a overstatement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.8.141 (talk) 12:26, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

I have moved the article back to where is was a few days ago, changes are still in the history if there was anything good there to keep. Right now, the article is only sourced by Youtube videos and a blog posting. Please take the time to find reliable sources for this article. Thanks! --Tgeairn (talk) 22:53, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Has it really been referred to by these monikers? I would like to see a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.220.77.101 (talk) 22:56, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

dongs.exe is the filename it uses when you upload it to a website — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.187.191.151 (talk) 00:55, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Kind of late to the party but I added dongs.exe moniker source to the article. I believe it was first used in a Something Awfullet's play thread started in December 2007 by taxidermistpasta. [1]178.36.205.100 (talk) 10:09, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Shobon or Syobon?[edit]

I'm indecisive on whether this article should be called 'Shobon Action' or 'Syobon Action'. The main character of the game is '(´･ω･`)' which is apparently called 'Shobon' (しょぼん) according to AA/Shift_JIS artwork found textboard websites like 2channel, which means the game should be called 'Shobon Action' instead, but the game seems to have a long history as 'Syobon Action'. Any thoughts on this? zwigith^[?] 04:27, 22 June 2016 (UTC)Japanese doesn't use Hepburn, so no, this character is not called 'Shobon'.

I've moved it back to Syobon Action, for reasons outlined in the edit history (WP:COMMONNAME, 'syobon' is a valid transliteration). Sonictrey (talk) 17:09, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
