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.

This coming weekend’s 19th Maximus Cup event for Tetris 99 allows you to earn an in-game theme based on the Kirby Fighters 2 game. Now you can channel your inner fighting spirit into the Tetris 99 game on the Nintendo Switch  as you aim to hit your opponents with a flurry of Tetrimino-clearing combinations in this action-packed Maximus Cup.

The Tetris 99 19th Maximus Cup event runs from 11 p.m. PT on Jan. 7 to 10:59 p.m. PT on Jan. 11. 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 Kirby Fighters 2.

In Kirby Fighters 2, Kirby fights to be the last one standing in the treacherous battle tower. Kirby delivers a madcap gauntlet of attacks to each battle, with a selection of 17 of the most iconic copy abilities from throughout the Kirby series, like Sword and Cutter. Kirby Fighters 2 also marks the debut of Kirby’s new Wrestler ability. A free demo of the game is available in Nintendo eShop.

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