Nintendo has followed up most of its new releases in the last year with a Maximus Cup event in Tetris 99 with a crossover Theme for the puzzle game as the prize. It happened with Fire Emblem: Three Houses in August. And it happened with Pokemon Sword and Shield in November.
And because it was inevitable, now it’s happening with Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The 13th Maximus Cup will begin this Friday, May 15, at 3:00 AM (Eastern Time). Like Tetris 99’s other online events, it’ll continue into early next week and end at 3:00 AM (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, May 19.
Players who collect 100 Event Points over the 96-hour period will unlock a special in-game Theme based on Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which features some of your favorite characters and lots of mint green styling. Obtaining 100 Event Points shouldn’t be too difficult, as the scoring system for this Maximus Cup event is the same as always:
Points Table for Tetris 99’s 12th Maximus Cup
1st Place: 100
2nd Place: 50
3rd Place: 30
4th-10th Place: 20
11th–30th Place: 15
31st–50th Place: 10

Don’t let the 13th Maximus Cup event be unlucky, and we’re pulling for everyone who wants the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Theme.
