darksnowman Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 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. https://nintendoeverything.com/tetris-99-30th-maximus-cup-announced-with-selection-of-returning-themes/ 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? 1
darksnowman Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 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.

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. 1

Josh64 Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 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. 1

Helmsly Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 Just a heads up, the Grand Prix/Maximus cup is now live.
Josh64 Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 I got it! Best I got to was 8th place after a few games, I'm either out of practice or all the hardcore players are out right now lol 1 1
Glen-i Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Ah, go on then, I'll bust open the game for that. Kinda regret forgetting about the Xenoblade one... Edited November 9, 2023 by Glen-i

It will probably come back at some point. They sometimes have special event once a year where you can unlock old themes 1
Glen-i Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 If you've played Mario RPG, you'll know why that's so funny.
darksnowman Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 That music was so repetitive. On 09/11/2023 at 4:09 PM, Helmsly said: It will probably come back at some point. They sometimes have special event once a year where you can unlock old themes I've a gap for Special Themes 20 & 21 (or thereabouts) so it'd be nice if they finish the year with a catch-up event that includes those. Still need to get plenty with in-game tickets as well, mind. 2
