You know what the maddest thing is? The original was even shorter! 30 seconds before it loops! It's easily the least good song in the game because of that. For comparison, the remake extends it to 1 minute and 25 seconds with a few key changes and out of order reiterations. Thankfully, every other song in the game is great!

Posted November 12, 2023 The background is so CRISP and CLEAN, I love it. Especially compared to the particularly hideous Sword and Shield skin lol. I'm not sure why though, the blocks are quite hard to get used to. I think it may be the stars on them, I had to concentrate more than usual and couldn't quite drift off into my normal Tetris meditative state. I still played until I unlocked the theme, but it's not my favourite, but also not the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Went ahead and got it. This one had pretty (weird and) relaxed music however at times I found it difficult to discern between the background art and the Tetris action. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2023 Another Max Cup/Grand Prix announced. This time for Super Mario Bros Wonder 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2023 Mario Wonder theme's up now. The Tetriminos are atrocious, and Mario Wonder's music is so lame, it uses a Mario Galaxy remix for the last 10 people. Not a great one this time. Still got it though. I normally only place better when he gets too ambitious and accidentally kills himself! Well haps! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2023 Got it too. One of my favourites in all seriousness! Liked the blocks and the nice relaxed vibe of it. Actually found myself wishing the backdrop was gameplay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 2 Princess Peach: Showtime! Maximus Cup/Grand Prix on the way. Running from the 5th to the 8th of April 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 5 (edited) The above Grand Prix is going on now. It's a decent theme. They thankfully don't use that dodgy render of Peach with the Dreamworks-esque face. Music choice is good and fitting too. Not heard the final 10 song yet, because it's a miracle whenever I last that long. Edited April 5 by Glen-i 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 6 Enjoyed playing in this theme. Provides a decent backdrop and the music compliments Tetris nicely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 6 yeah, nice theme with relaxing music. It took me a few goes to get enough points to unlock it, as I'd not played Tetris 99 since the last Max cup and had to get used to it all again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was Mario Wonder the last one? It's been a while since then, I suppose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
