Tetris 99 30th Maximus Cup

Quote

Nintendo has announced the 30th Maximus Cup for Tetris 99, which will give players a chance to unlock special themes based on other Switch games if they were missed previously. Different rounds will be held for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, Miitopia, Mario Golf: Super Rush, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, WarioWare: Get It Together!, and Samus Edition.

The Tetris 99 30th Maximus Cup event will take place between August 5 at 12 AM PT / 3 AM ET to August 10 at 11:59 PM PT / August 11 at 2:59 AM ET. Six back-to-back rounds are planned, which are as follows:

  • Round 1 features the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury theme as a reward and runs from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 5.
  • Round 2 features the Miitopia theme as a reward and runs from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 6.
  • Round 3 features the Mario Golf: Super Rush theme as a reward and runs from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 7.
  • Round 4 features the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD theme as a reward and runs from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 8.
  • Round 5 features the WarioWare: Get It Together! theme as a reward and runs from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 9.
  • Round 6 features the Samus Edition theme as a reward and runs from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 10.

To unlock these themes previously, 100 event points were required. For each round in the upcoming Maximus Cup though, only 10 event points are needed.

Catch-up event. Handy as I think I missed a few of those before. Hoping it's not US-only though I think these normally run in tandem across the regions? ::shrug:

The catch-up event is indeed happening here--saw it on the Switch news feed.

Think I'm only short the WarioWare: Get it Together! theme from this bunch but I went on anyway for a few games in the Bowser's Fury theme. What a game Bowser's Fury is. Really should have replayed it by now. :cool:

A new maximum cup announced, this time for a new Kirby theme:

Levelled up to 46 while getting that. Some top 20 finishes helped speed things up. :) 

Hope they do some theme catchups again as there're still a few I haven't unlocked.

Oh my goodness, I'll be right on that. I love tetris at the best of times, but I MUST get this theme. 

Out of curiosity, anyone who has purchased the 1-Player mode, can you use whatever themes you have collected playing 99 mode? If so I will purchase it at some point, as given Nintendo's track record I know this game won't stay online forever, which is a shame as it has so many great themes.

You can, yes
