Last month, Nintendo graced Tetris 99 players with its 26th Maximus Cup event. That cup featured a Metroid Dread theme, advertising the game’s recent release. This event continues Nintendo’s trend of launching a special Maximus Cup to commemorate big first-party releases. On December 9th, the 27th Maximus Cup will feature a special unlockable theme stylized after Mario Party Superstars.
“It’s a star-filled fun fest! Mario Party™ Superstars is coming to the Tetris® 99 game for the Nintendo Switch™ system in a 27th MAXIMUS CUP party! Compete to become a superstar and unlock a Mario Party Superstars theme.
The Tetris 99 27th MAXIMUS CUP event runs from 11 p.m. PT on Dec. 9 to 10:59 p.m. PT on Dec. 13. To participate, Nintendo Switch Online or Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack 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 the Mario Party Superstars game.”
Both Mario Party Superstars and Tetris 99 are available now, on the Nintendo Switch eShop. For more information on Tetris 99, visit the official Tetris 99 page.
