So, get ready to tap into your competitive spirit and lock in for the Line-Clearing, Tetrimino-turning showdown. Avoid sputtering out, and you may even make it past your rivals to land in the winner's circle. The Tetris 99 41st Maximus Cup event runs from 12 a.m. PT on June 28 to 11:59 p.m. PT on July 1. 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 F-Zero 99.

In the F-Zero 99 game, 99 players compete to be number one in high-speed, challenging multiplayer races* where winning means outpacing (and outlasting) everyone else. This thrilling take on the original Super NES game features classic courses and machines, cosmetic options to unlock, and a bevy of modes to tackle, including Mini Prix, Grand Prix, Team Battle, Practice, and extra-tough Pro Tracks. And an update is arriving next week, featuring a limited-time event and more, so grab your Pilot Card and aim for the Skyway, because with stakes this high the margin for error is zero!
