News: Earn a Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury in-game theme by playing during the Maximus Cup and earning points in Tetris 99.

Nintendo has revealed that you can take on a colossal Tetrimino challenge with Mario in Tetris 99 with a special Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury themed Maximus Cup! This coming weekend’s Tetris 99 20th Maximus Cup event allows you to earn an in-game theme based on the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury game. You will have to demonstrate your fur-midable puzzle prowess with Tetris 99 on the Nintendo Switch and claw your way to the top of the rankings in this fierce and furious Maximus Cup.

The Tetris 99 20th MAXIMUS CUP event runs from 11 p.m. PT on March 4 to 10:59 p.m. PT on March 8. 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 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.

In the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury game, pounce and climb through dozens of colorful courses. Mario and his friends can use a variety of power-ups like the Super Bell, which grants catlike abilities like climbing and scratching. Team up with up to three other players locally or online to reach the goal and see who can get the high score.

In the new Bowser’s Fury adventure, Bowser has become gargantuan and lost all control. Explore Lake Lapcat and its islands as Mario in free-roaming open gameplay, complete objectives to collect Cat Shines and team up with Bowser Jr. to bring his big, bad dad back to normal. Mario must go further beyond with a fearsome, feline power-up of his own to take him on.
