Zack & Tetris

Zack & Tetris hail from Tetris: The Animated Series, a nonexistent show with only a theme song inspired by Get Your Blocks Off from quarterly comic magazine The Devestator.

They appear in the Satisfaction Era of Lawl Nova.

Magic Bricks That Started to Fall
Zack falls to the battlefield with a Tetris.

Playstyle Origin
Tetris itself is all about strategically placing blocks to form perfect rows and clear lines, and it's easy for anyone to use. Here, Zack is a character with Stage Control thanks to placing Blocks and creating walls with his neutral and up specials respectively. He also has to manage his resources with knowing which Block to have and which to use the box on. His downsides stem from his low speed, lackluster Tetris-less attacks, and poor weight. He'll also be useless if he's placed all the blocks already.

Tetris
The Tetris follow you around like the Pikmin and are needed in smash attacks as well as Specials. Of course they can be killed easily by opponents and swapped out with another Tetris.

Neutral B - Tetris Drop
Zack hovers the Tetris block that is following him in front of him (now turned into an actual block). You can hold down B and tilt the stick left or right to rotate the Tetris blocks (which deals damage). Release the button to place them on the stage, staying there as obstacles while another Tetris block appears behind Zack. Enemies can also get hit by the block when it's being placed, with each side of the block dealing different percentag: the more squares the side has, the more ground it'll cover, but the less damage it will deal, and vice-versa. Only one-square sides can spike. Opponents can still kill the blocks when placed. Placing one Tetris over another makes it disappear.

Move Origin
The objective of Tetris (which the show is inspired from) is to manipulate the Tetrominos, by moving each one sideways and/or rotating by quarter-turns, so that they form a solid horizontal line without gaps. When such a line is formed, it disappears and any blocks above it fall down to fill the space. Though, in Lawl. Instead of forming a line, the previous Tetris that was placed will disappear if it was placed one over another. It's also inspired by a part where a few Tetrominos were seen falling down. While Tetris: The Animated Series features the Tetrominos turned into living characters, the normal versions of the Tetrominos can be seen during the instrumental breaks of the song.

Side B - Frisby
Zack tosses a frisbee and the Tetris chases after it. Hitting the opponent with your frisbee makes the Tetris run towards them. Press B to make them chase it early. But be careful using this move since it can easily kill them.

Move Origin
During the part of the lyrics that says "They're chilling with Zack, their new best friend, but that's not the way the story ends", we see Lance chasing after a frisbee in Zack's backyard, before it falls on its face and then into the floor.

Up B - Rebuild the Wall
The Tetris' form a wall and raise their best friend up. The wall acts like any other wall, meaning it cannot be phased through. The height of the wall depends on how many blocks have not been placed. Opponents are able to tear down the wall. Zack jump off the wall at any point of its construction.

Move Origin
The move's name is inspired by the part of the lyrics that says "Czar Time Limit wants his magic blocks back to rebuild the wall / Now they're under attack", though the move itself is more based on the mechanic of stacking blocks in Tetris.

Down B - The Cardboard Box Dilemma
The Tetris is put into a cardboard box. Now specials and smash attacks with it are stronger and the box must be eliminated before the Tetris can be eliminated. Only one box at a time, though. Using another just has Zack toss a smaller box at opponents. If you switch the Magic Brick with Up Taunt, the box will stay with the Brick that Zack has out.

Move Origin
At the end of the "show's" intro, there's a part showing off some of the hypothetical episodes it was going to have, all called "The X Dillema" and featuring the main characters having to stack things to form large piles. One of them, "The Cardboard Box Dillema", shows Sam inside a cardboard box while Zack facepalms.

Shield Special - Stack Power
Zack says "Stack Power!" as all the placed Tetris Blocks revert back to their humanoid forms and jump upwards, dealing damage by contact. Much like Neutral B, the system in which "more squares, less damage but more ground" system still applies here.

Move Origin
The move is original to Lawl Nova for the most part, although it gets its name from the part of the lyrics that says "They got STACK POWER and this is TETRIS".

Final Smash - Czar Time Limit
Zack and Tetris leave the stage and Czar Time Limit shows up standing over a blue wall. He sends an army of four Time-Keepers go on the attack and throw themselves at opponents, blowing up upon contact with opponents or the ground. After that, Zack and Tetris are back in the match.

Move Origin
During the part of the lyrics that says "In a frozen land, there was an evil czar, his name was Time Limit and he took it too far", we can see Czar Time Limit on top of his wall, sending a group of Time-Keepers away like an army.

Trivia

 * The moveset is a throwback to the early years of Lawl Nova from the aesthetics to the Bandicam watermark to the low-quality sprites to Brawl's Battlefield and Final Destination being the only two stages used. This is mainly because Zack & Tetris were previously replaced (alongside Dark Helmet, AoSTH Sonic, Weegee, and Ophelia Chill) with Dipper Pines, John Di Micco, Samuel L. Jackson, and Vince Offer.
 * He is the only character so far that was previously removed who later came back to the roster 5 years after his removal.
 * The reason for his removal was because Skapokon couldn't find any Taunts or Victory Poses for him in that time but this has probably changed.
 * The moveset came bundled with a document detailing some beta elements of the characters of Lawl Nova, some of them being shown on Zack & Tetris' moveset.
 * Zack was originally mute when his moveset was released, but he got a voice in Update Patch 2: The Newcomers. He's now voiced by Stelle-Parallax, the creator of Lawl Hypercubed.
