What was the first ever time you played a Super Mario™ game? What about the moment you first dropped a perfectly-placed I-Tetrimino to clear four lines in a Tetris® game?
Now you can tap back into that excitement when the Tetris 99 game on the Nintendo Switch system combines forces with Super Mario All-Stars™, the collection that chronicles four timeless 2D adventures, for an all-star MAXIMUS CUP.
This week’s Tetris 99 18th MAXIMUS CUP event allows you to earn an in-game theme based on the Super Mario All-Stars game, which is included in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ – Nintendo Switch Online library of games.
18th MAXIMUS CUP
The Tetris 99 18th MAXIMUS CUP event runs from 11 p.m. PT on Dec. 3 to 10:59 p.m. PT on Dec. 7. To participate, Nintendo Switch Online members* just need to play the Tetris 99 online mode during the event period. Players will earn event points based on their placement in each match.
Once players have accumulated a total of 100 event points, a new theme will unlock, featuring background art, music and Tetrimino designs inspired by Super Mario All-Stars.
