Tetris 99 Event Lets Players Unlock Missed Stage Themes

screenrant.com:

The next Tetris 99 event will give players the chance to unlock stage themes from previous events that were only available for a limited amount of time. Tetris 99 is available as a Nintendo Switch Online exclusive, which means that all of its events have been tied to prominent Nintendo games.

The Tetris 99 events are known as Maximus Cups and they give players the chance to unlock specific stage themes, which change the background, soundtrack, and even the appearance of the blocks when used. In order to permanently unlock these stage themes, the player must earn 100 points in Maximus Cup matches against other players. The higher a player places, the more points they will earn, but even competing badly in lots of rounds will eventually net them the stage theme. The Maximus Cup events usually exist to promote a new game for the Nintendo Switch, such as the Pokémon Legends: Arceus Tetris 99 event back in January.

The stage themes in the Maximus Cup events can be earned for free during the duration of their events, but once the events are over, they can only be purchased for a lot of Tickets in the in-game menu. The next Maximus Cup will give players the chance to easily earn six of the stage themes from the past that they may have missed. According to the official Nintendo website, these events only require the player to earn 10 points during the event, rather than 100, in order to earn the theme, which drastically cuts the amount of time the player needs to spend engaging with the event to unlock the themes.

The 30th Maximus Cup event kicks off on August 5, giving players the chance to unlock the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury stage theme. On August 6,
