Unleash Your Inner Kirby: A Grand Return to Tetris 99!

Recent Kirby Enthusiasm and Upcoming Events

Following a dedicated Nintendo Direct spotlighting the world of Kirby, and with the return of "Kirby and the Forgotten Land" on the Switch 2, the current period is proving to be a true celebration for fans of the pink puffball. The excitement surrounding these developments sets a vibrant stage for the next major event.

The 49th Maximus Cup: A Trio of Thematic Challenges

Nintendo has officially revealed the 49th installment of the Tetris 99 Maximus Cup. This special competition will reintroduce a selection of highly sought-after Kirby in-game themes. The event is scheduled to run from August 29th, 2025, through September 1st, 2025, structured into three distinct phases.

Featured Kirby Themes for the Event

Participants in this Maximus Cup will have the opportunity to unlock three distinct game themes, each representing a celebrated Kirby title. The themes are allocated across the three rounds: the first round will feature the theme from "Kirby and the Forgotten Land", the second will showcase "Kirby's Dream Buffet", and the third round will highlight "Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe".

Simplified Theme Acquisition for Players

In this "Second Chance: Kirby Edition" Maximus Cup, acquiring each of these exclusive themes is made accessible to a wide range of players. Participants will only need to accumulate a modest 20 points during each round to successfully unlock the corresponding theme. This player-friendly approach ensures that more fans can enjoy these unique cosmetic additions, building on the success of previous thematic events, such as the recent Donkey Kong Bananza promotion in July.
