Tetris 99\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is not only a fantastic puzzle game for Nintendo Switch owners, it\u00a0has been host to some delightful Nintendo themed crossovers as well. Previous Maximus Cup events have featured brand-new aesthetics based on Nintendo properties, usually to tie in with new releases, like the Super Mario<\/em> event coinciding with the release of\u00a0Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The next one, which is scheduled to begin on January 8 and run throughout the weekend, features\u00a0Kirby<\/em> themed visuals. Specifically, it’s based on the fighting game spin-off\u00a0Kirby Fighters 2<\/a><\/em>, which received a surprise release on Nintendo Switch this past September.<\/p>\n

Aside from the Tetris<\/em> blocks featuring the faces of recognizable\u00a0Kirby\u00a0<\/em>characters like King Dedede, Meta Knight, and, of course, the pink puffball himself, intense, remixed music from the series will play in the background, including what sounds like a new iteration of King Dedede’s boss music.<\/p>\n

The event will end on January 11 and players will earn points depending on\u00a0where they position at the end of a match. Players who manage to amass at least 100 points will unlock a Kirby Fighters 2<\/em> theme for\u00a0Tetris 99<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that they can keep even after the event ends.<\/p>\n
