The 10th Maximus Cup will be focused around this new mode, with the top 999 players receiving 999 My Nintendo Gold Points each, with points awarded based on the rank in each Team Battle. The 10th Maximus Cup begins on 12/12, at 11pm PT.

Tetris 99 is available on Nintendo Switch for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.

Tetris 99 is a game for the Nintendo Switch, based around battle royale-style play. It is available as a free download to subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service.

The game features an online multiplayer mode called Tetris 99, with single player and local multiplayer modes available by purchasing the Big Block DLC.

Gameplay

Tetris 99 mode

The mode is garbage-based, with the player being able to send garbage to other players. The aim is to be the last surviving player.

The player can earn badges by knocking out other players. Knocking out players with badges will cause the player to receive some (all?) of their badges. Collecting badges will increase the player's attack power.

When 50 players are remaining, the piece gravity begins to increase over time, eventually reaching 1G.^[1]

This mode can also be played with a password, allowing only other players with the password to enter.

Badges

Garbage

By clearing lines the player can send lines of garbage to opponents.

Lines received will go into the pending garbage queue, where there is a delay before the lines appear on the playfield. This delay decreases as players are knocked out. The active set of pending lines will change colour to indicate how close it is to appearing, and when the active set spawns on the playfield the next set will become active.

The player can have at most 12 lines of garbage in their pending queue, and can send at most 20 with one line clear. In both cases any excess lines are lost.

Base table

The game's base garbage table is consistent with most guideline games, with the exception of the All Clear bonus. The game counts combos starting from the second consecutive line clear as 1.

Targeting

The game provides four automatic targeting modes:

• Badges: Target opponents with many badges.
• KOs: Target opponents who are close to being knocked out.
• Attackers: Target opponents who are targeting the player.
• Randoms: Target opponents at random.

Alternatively, the player can also switch targets manually.

Target bonus

If the player is targeted by multiple opponents then they will receive a boost to attack power for each clear:

This boost is applied before the badge attack boost.

Experience points

Experience points are awarded at the end of each game. Other than increasing the player's level, they seem to have no other effect on the game. The only two factors taken into account are final position, and number of K.O.s.

Additionally 50 xp are awarded for the first K.O. and 5 xp for any further K.O.s.

Tetris 99 Invictus

Tetris 99 Invictus plays similarly to Tetris 99 mode, with a higher gravity curve, and is exclusive to players who have previously won 1st place in a Tetris 99 match.

Team Battle

Up to four teams fight for the top spot, the team with the last player standing wins. To earn XP, the player must remain in the match until the end. While spectating another player, the player can give a like to cheer an ally on their team. This also earns the player extra experience points based on the team's final ranking.

Before the match starts the player can choose their team, each team can have up to 25 players, and the match a total of 99 players.

This mode can also be played with a password, allowing only other players with the password to enter.

Maximus Cup

Main article: Maximus Cup

The Maximus Cup is a recurring event which players participate simply by playing Tetris 99 mode. So far two different categories of prizes have been offered, 999 My Nintendo Gold points, or unique themes for the game. In the case of the points, the top 999 with the most 1st place wins during the event are awarded the prize. The themes have a different format, players must accumulate 100 event points to permanently unlock the theme. Players earn event points by completing a Tetris 99 game, the points vary depending the rank attained.

Daily Missions

Daily Missions is a daily event that begins every day at 12:00 AM EST. Players complete the Daily Missions by playing regular modes, and fulfilling the requirements. Each day brings four new missions, two of which require the Big Block DLC. By completing a Daily Mission, the player is awarded a ticket, which can be exchanged to unlock a new theme for the game.
