Nintendo has scheduled this month’s Maximus Cup for Tetris 99, and it looks like the puzzle royale’s latest competition will begin on Friday, September 20, at 3:00 AM (Easten Time) and conclude 96 hours later at 3:00 AM (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, September 24. This time, Tetris 99 competitors who amass 100 Event Points will unlock a new Theme based on Super Kirby Clash.
Super Kirby Clash is the latest starring role for Nintendo’s pink puffball, and the free-to-play game is now available to download for the Switch. Nintendo is encouraging Tetris 99 players to try it out by also offering 99 Gem Apples (it’s in-game currency) to anyone who accumulates 100 Event Points in this weekend’s Maximus Cup:
Gem Apples are the in-game currency in Super Kirby Clash, which let players craft and obtain new items. Qualifying players will receive their 99 Gem Apples via a Nintendo eShop code that will be emailed to the address associated with their Nintendo Account within one week after the event ends. In the multiplayer mode of the Super Kirby Clash game, players choose from four unique Roles and join up to three other players to take down tough bosses.
As always, more information about this weekend’s Maximus Cup can be found at Tetris 99’s official website.
