Tetris 99’s Paper Mario: The Origami King Event Begins July 31, 2020

Tetris 99 is continuing its tradition of bringing newly released Nintendo games into its challenges. The 15th Maximus Cup is about to begin on July 31, 2020. When it does, a Tetris 99 Paper Mario: The Origami King theme will be in effect and available for people to earn until August 3, 2020.

As usual, earning the event theme won’t be terribly difficult. You need to earn 100 in-game points from battle royale matches to permanently add the design to your collection. No matter where you place in the game, you’ll still earn points toward that goal.

Here’s a video of the new theme in action.

The last few Tetris 99 Maximus Cups have all pulled from recent releases for inspiration. Last month, we saw a Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition crossover. Before that was Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While Ring Fit Adventures is finally a bit more commonly found in stores, for a time it was much easier to find it in Tetris 99.  

Tetris 99 and Paper Mario: The Origami King are both immediately available for the Nintendo Switch.
