Tetris 99 'F-Zero 99 Edition' Maximus Cup Event Announced

99x99? That makes 9801!

Wish it was Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, but this is cool I guess

@YunoboCo They also skipped The Thousand Year Door. It really makes me wonder what their reasoning is regarding which games will get featured on Tetris 99.

This sounds fantastic!

Next up, a Tetris theme for F-Zero!

The crossover of all time!

In all seriousness, I love these events because the matches are all full of real players, and I get to clash with some great competition.

Man I've never won a 99, so I don't think I can maximus but it is a fun enough free game to pick up every once in a while. I was much better at the Pac man thing.

@rvcolem1 I have made it to 13th place once before losing. Did much better in Super Mario 35 but sadly... 😭

@PokemonDMG don't be a sad lad, be a glad lad. I can't play a shooter at all but find some harder platformers easy. Everyone has there gaming sweet spot, some people only like little kids games and some like ultra hard core blood fests. Gaming is for everyone, besides Tony. Tony is terrible at games and should feel ashamed.

@montrayjak No a Tetris 99 theme of F-Zero 99 having a Tetris 99 theme.

The colors look good on this theme. The darker background will make the gaps easier to see at a quick glance.

Yay! Still wishing for a Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Breath of the Wild theme. Never gonna happen at this point, sadly. Fingers crossed for OS themes on the Switch 2.

Now this is the crossover we need. 😊

This is so cool. I love the music of F-Zero. Big Blue in MK8D is my favourite track, but those MIDI versions will be so cool to have, and get some rotation within the game. I'm still completely hooked to one of the Kirby themes, so really looking forward to that new theme. This friday 🤩

I also love how it's always a big surprise which game will be picked for the next crossover.

@PikminMarioKirby which is OVER 9000! /obligatory

@FishyS I still install the game strictly during the events... and only play it for as long as it takes to unlock the theme, padre.😅

Cool! I still play both these games on the regular, thanks for the heads up.

Not ashamed to admit that the only reason I boot up Tetris 99 is for these events. I like how long they've kept this support going for, and I hope eventually all the event themes are made accessible for everyone like they did for some of the earlier events. I don't think they've added many permanent ones recently.

@Mario_maniac Yeah, they used to announce when past themes became available again.

I was missing one and couldn’t get it, but I would check periodically (Theme 12 - Kirby Fighters 2). One time I found it available. No announcement made. I had the tickets already saved up previously, so I don’t think it was due to a lack of tickets.

It is a long shot, but check back every cup and just see if any more are available. And have enough tickets saved up (I don’t remember offhand how many are needed).

@Jiggies I would like to think that The Thousand Year Door will get one soon, perhaps next. Although they could go straight onto Luigi's Mansion 2 HD...

I've been playing F-Zero 99 pretty regularly but I only boot up Tetris 99 for these themes, when I can remember to do them lol

Let's go!!!!!!!! Been playing the heck out of this recently.

@BANJO Their inconsistency for which titles get Maximus Cups/themes is confusing.

@FoxyDude It certainly is, sometimes it's soon after a games release, other times it's like they forget then remember a few months later. e.g Why an F Zero event now ages after release. Not that I'm complaining mind you 😅

My best score in this game is #24, anyone here ever gotten #1?

@CaleBoi25 a couple of times back in 2020. Afterwards, the best I've been is 2 and my average is between 50-20. Most of the time, it feels like players gang up on me for no reason.

Too bad we won't have a Pac-Man 99 theme as well.
