'Tetris 99' Maximus Cup Unlocks 'WarioWare: Move It!' and 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder' Themes In December

by Rainier on Nov. 27, 2023 @ 5:19 p.m. PST

In large-scale, 99-player battles, it’ll take speed, skill, and strategy to knock out the competition and become the last player standing.

You can target opponents by sending them Garbage Blocks, but be careful… Your rivals can target you back! Defeat opponents to acquire K.O. Badges that may give you the advantage on future attacks. Nintendo Switch Online members can also look forward to upcoming online events!

Tetris 99 features online competitive modes exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members. Owners of the digital version of the game can purchase the optional Big Block DLC, which adds several offline modes, like CPU Battle and Local Arena.

Wowie zowie and WAHAHAHA!

Two separate Nintendo Switch games are headed to Tetris 99, and they’re bringing smiles, competition and colorful themes to the iconic pinnacle of Tetris challenges.

Wario leads the charge when the lightning-fast WarioWare: Move It! game for the Nintendo Switch system takes a vacation tour to the Tetris 99 game for the 37th MAXIMUS CUP. Soon after, the surprise-filled Super Mario Bros. Wonder game delivers its next evolution of Mario fun to the 38th MAXIMUS CUP! Wario and Mario know a thing or two about enduring rivalries, so the coming weeks are sure to inspire some fierce yet friendly matches.

The Tetris 99 37th MAXIMUS CUP event runs from 11 p.m. PT on Nov. 30 to 10:59 p.m. PT on Dec. 4. To participate, any Nintendo Switch Online member* just needs 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 WarioWare: Move It!

In WarioWare: Move It!, get moving with a multitude of motion-based microgames in a new entry in the WarioWare series, which contains both single-player and multiplayer modes to enjoy and over 200 microgames that only last a few hilarious seconds! Use your thighs to catch fish, flex your muscles to break out of jail, draw signs with your butt (don’t ask) … all while you shake, dance and wiggle your way through very wild moves.

Plus, for those looking for even more Wario-inspired fun in Tetris 99, a previously featured theme for WarioWare: Get It Together! can be redeemed for one ticket during a limited-time event that runs from 5 p.m. PT on Nov. 27 to 4:59 p.m. PT on Dec. 11. If you’re not able to grab the theme before the event period is over, the theme will remain available for redemption for 30 tickets.

When you’re ready to add some Mario mirth, the Tetris 99 38th MAXIMUS CUP event runs from 11 p.m. PT on Dec. 14 to 10:59 p.m. PT on Dec. 18. The rules are the same for a normal MAXIMUS CUP. 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 Bros. Wonder!

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first new installment in the side-scrolling Super Mario Bros. series in more than 10 years! Mario and friends have been invited to visit the colorful Flower Kingdom, just a short hop away from the Mushroom Kingdom. Unfortunately, King Bowser has stolen the Wonder power, used it to transform into a flying castle and is causing chaos across this peaceful land. Now the heroes must save the day – and the Flower Kingdom – in this journey packed with secrets around every corner.

Tetris 99 is available for Nintendo Switch and is free to download.
