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.

The world beneath the ocean’s surface is a mystery teeming with vibrant life and surprising sights. Intrepid explorers diving into the colorful and tranquil Veiled Sea may discover things even they never expected. Things like … Tetris?!

Yes, that’s right – Endless Ocean Luminous is taking a giant stride into Tetris 99 for the 40th MAXIMUS CUP! Plumb the depths of the Line-Clearing, rival-dunking Tetris challenge alongside 98 other players*, each looking to buoy themselves with their strategy and skill. Can you float your way to the top of the rankings?

In the Endless Ocean Luminous game, players can embark on dives into an unexplored region of the ocean that offers a bounty of discoveries that change with each swim. Dive deep – solo or with your Dive Buddies in online* play sessions that support up to 30 players – to encounter 500 species of marine life and even come across creatures previously thought extinct. Plus, the game’s leisurely, opened-ended experiences and its soothing Sound Bath make it an ideal way to decompress after a few brain-twisting rounds of Tetris 99! Endless Ocean Luminous also includes a free seven-day Nintendo Switch Online trial, allowing you to plunge into online play in both Endless Ocean Luminous and Tetris 99.

The Tetris 99 40th MAXIMUS CUP event runs from 12 a.m. PT on May 10 to 11:59 p.m. PT on May 13. 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 Endless Ocean Luminous. Just be sure to play nice – today’s rival in Tetris 99 might be tomorrow’s Diving Buddy in Endless Ocean Luminous!

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