Nintendo will host the fifth Maximus Cup for Tetris 99 players this weekend, and high-scoring participants will be able to unlock a colorful Splatoon Theme for the online puzzler. Created to celebrate Splatoon 2‘s upcoming “Final Splatfest,” the theme is dripping with ink and it even deploys the distinctive Splatoon font for in-game text.
The Splatoon-themed Maximus Cup will begin on Friday, July 12, at 3:00 AM (Eastern Time) and run for a full four days, concluding on Tuesday, July 16, at 3:00 AM (also Eastern Time). Players can expect to see the same point scale from previous Cups, and they’ll need 100 points to unlock the Splatoon Theme. Each win is worth 100 points, but participants can also nab precious points for 2nd Place (50), 3rd Place (30), 4th-10th range (20), 11th–30th (10), 31st–50th (5), and 51st–80th (2).
As always, you must be a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber to compete in Tetris 99’s Maximus Cup events.
